“…The findings are consistent with Wondie et al’s (2011) study among sexually abused child survivors in Ethiopia, which found that sexually abused children had a lower degree of self-worth. Similarly, the findings of the current study are consistent with a study done in India among rural adolescent girls who had average and low self-esteem (Nagar et al 2008). Also, Pullmann and Allik (2008) found that Estonian students had low and average scores of self-esteem.…”

“…Researchers have affirmed the importance of self-esteem as indicating a person's subjective quality of life, because self-esteem is related to behavioral competence, positive self-experience, and self-actualization (Ng, tam, man, cheng, & chiu, 2003). additionally, researchers have considered it an important aspect of self-development, because it reflects the evaluation of one's competence and affects emotional experiences, future behavior, and long-term psychological adjustment (Nagar, Sharma, & Chopra, 2008).…”

This study had three objectives: (a) to compare undergraduates from four Arab countries on self-esteem, (b) to explore the sex-related differences in self-esteem in these four Arab countries, and (c) to examine the association of self-esteem with both per-capita income and unemployment rate. Four samples of 2,643 students were recruited from Egypt (n = 576), Kuwait (n = 674), Lebanon (n = 826), and Oman (n = 567). They responded to the Arabic version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Kuwaiti and Omani men had a significantly higher mean score on self-esteem than did Egyptian and Lebanese men. Egyptian women scored significantly lower than the Omani women, but the effect size was small. Regarding the sex-related differences in self-esteem, Kuwaiti men had a significantly higher mean score than did their female peers, but the effect size was small, whereas there were no significant sex differences in the other samples. The sex-related difference in self-esteem is a controversial result and it may not be replicable in different countries. It was suggested that self-esteem is associated with high per-capita income and low unemployment rate.

“…It is possible, therefore higher esteem of females in Oman arises due to changing social orders. Another factor that may have contributed to this finding is that females academic performance is better than that of males (Islam, 2014) and this can have an impact on their self-esteem as many studies have found that academic status is related to self-esteem (e.g., Nagar, Sharma, & Chopra, 2008).…”

This study aimed to understand the association between self-esteem (SE) and gender, age, body mass index (BMI) and rural-urban dichotomy among Omani teenagers. Multivariable regression analyses were conducted using generalized linear models to study the impact of gender, age, BMI, and place of residence on the SE score after adjusting for other variables. Of the 4,432 teenagers studied, 47.4% were boys and 52.6% girls. The majority (64.4%) were from rural areas and 35.6% from urban areas of Oman. About 23% were physically underweight, while 51% were normal and 26.2% were overweight or obese. The results of this study revealed that Omani girls have higher SE than boys.
