“…Considering that self-esteem is a construct that refers to an individual's perceptions of personal worth (Battle et al 1988), the relationship between cognitive emotional wellness and self-esteem found in the present study is consistent with the findings of other studies that suggested the association between self-esteem and many cognitive-emotional mental health indicators, such as depression , anxiety (Rosenberg 1989), and happiness (Perneger et al 2004). …”

This study investigated the differences among 465 Turkish first year university students regarding overall wellness and four of its dimensions (cognitive emotional wellness-CEW, relational wellness-RW, life goal-LG, and physical wellness-PW) in terms of self-esteem levels and gender. The data were gathered by administering the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a short-form of the Wellness Inventory (WI-30). The results of ANOVA showed significant main effects for high-low self-esteem and gender, indicating that those who had a high level of self-esteem, and females, as compared to males, reported higher levels of overall wellness. The results of MANOVA employed on the four wellness subscores yielded a significant main effect for high-low self-esteem and for gender. The findings indicated that students who have higher self-esteem reported higher scores on all the four dimensions of wellness; and females reported higher levels of relational wellness and physical wellness than males.

“…Self-esteem is also among the strongest predictors of anxiety (Battle et al, 1988;Rawson, 1992). As Coopersmith (1967) noted, "subjective selfesteem and anxiety are closely and negatively related" (p. 132).…”

“…Depression is one emotion that is strongly related to low self-esteem (Battle, Jarratt, Smit, & Precht, 1988;Hammen, 1988;Quellet & Joshi, 1986;Rawson, 1992;Smart & Walsh, 1993). Although depression may be precipitated by a wide variety of events, both social and nonsocial, feeling excluded is certainly one such event.…”

Low self-esteem has been linked to a number of emotional and behavioral problems. This article examines the relationship between low self-esteem and a variety of psychological difficulties from the standpoint of the sociometer model of self-esteem. According to this model, the behavioral concomitants of low self-esteem are best viewed as reactions to real, anticipated, or imagined rejection rather than as consequences of low self-esteem per se. Evidence relevant to this hypothesis is reviewed as it relates to dysphoric emotions, substance abuse, irresponsible sexual behavior, aggression, membership in deviant groups, and eating disorders. Implications of this approach for treating certain psychological problems are also discussed.Low self-esteem ranks among the strongest predictors of emotional and behavioral problems. Compared to people with high self-esteem, people with low self-esteem tend to be more anxious, depressed, lonely, jealous, shy, and generally unhappy. They are also less assertive, less likely to enjoy close friendships, and more likely to drop out of school. Further more, they are more inclined to behave in ways that pose a danger to themselves or others: low self-esteem is associated with unsafe sex, teenage pregnancy, aggression, criminal behavior, the abuse of alcohol and other drugs, and membership in deviant groups (for reviews, see

“…Conversely, a growing body of literature suggests that some youth with ADHD may exhibit a phenomenon termed the positive illusory bias, in which they exhibit an inflated self-perception in comparison to other criteria reflecting their actual competence [34–36]. Beyond ADHD, evidence suggests an association between the presence of depression and anxiety symptoms with deficits in self-concept in youth [37–40]. Although there has been little exploration of deficits of self-concept in individuals with OCD, Thibert et al [41] found that adults with TD and comorbid obsessive–compulsive symptoms had significantly lower self-concepts than the general population, which was not observed for TD alone.…”

“…Given conflicting findings in the existing literature regarding associations between the presence of CTD and self-concept, we did not develop a hypothesis regarding the proportion of CTD youth with self-concept deficits. However, we did expect that youth with comorbid ADHD and OCD would have significantly more self-concept deficits than the normative population given the existing literature that supports these associations in CTD and non-CTD samples [27, 30, 37, 38]. Second, we examined the association between youth’s overall self-concept and relevant clinical correlates (i.e., tic severity, tic-related impairment, quality of life, severity of behavioral and/or emotional problems).…”

This study investigated the clinical correlates and mediators of self-concept in youth with Chronic Tic Disorders (CTD). Ninety-seven youth aged 6–17 (M = 11.1 ± 2.89; 79.4 % male) with CTD were administered the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale, the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale—Second Edition, and self-report and clinician-administered measures assessing behavioral and psychological difficulties and comorbid conditions. Youth with CTD had a slightly below average level of self-concept, with 20 % (n = 19) exhibiting low self-concept. Youth with CTD-only had greater self-concept relative to youth with CTD and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) (p = 0.04) or CTD, OCD, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) combined (p = 0.009). Medium-to-large-sized associations were observed between youth’s self-concept and clinical characteristics (e.g., severity of ADHD, OCD and depressive symptoms). Youth’s self-concept partially mediated the relationship between tic severity and depressive symptom severity, and the interaction between tic impairment and youth’s reliance on avoidant coping strategies moderated youth’s self-concept. Implications, limitations, and recommendations for future interventions are discussed.
