“…Self-esteem has consistently been found to be related to the psychological health of children and adolescents (Bell & Suggs, 1998). Whereas a low level of self-esteem is related to poorer academic achievement, peer relationships and mental health, a high level of self-esteem is correlated to higher academic success and better mental health.…”

“…Youth with high self-esteem and sense of self-efficacy report positive feelings about themselves, their social environment, and their ability to deal with life's challenges (Werner, 1992). Self-esteem is thought to serve as a psychological protective factor against the harmful effects of stress (Timko, Moos, & Michelson, 1993) and the tendency to engage during adolescence in risky behavior, such as drug use and poor academic performance (Bell & Suggs, 1998).…”

This study examines resilience among a sample of American Indian adolescents living on or near reservations in the upper Midwest. Data are from a baseline survey of 212 youth (115 boys and 97 girls) who were enrolled in the fifth through eighth grades. Based upon the definition of resilience, latent class analyses were conducted to identify youth who displayed pro‐social outcomes (60.5%) as opposed to problem behavior outcomes. A measure of family adversity was also developed that indicated only 38.4% of the youth lived in low‐adversity households. Defining resilience in the context of positive outcomes in the face of adversity, logistic regression was used to examine the predictors of pro‐social outcomes among youth who lived in moderate‐ to high‐adversity households. The analyses identified key risk and protective factors. A primary risk factor appeared to be perceived discrimination. Protective factors were from multiple contexts: family, community, and culture. Having a warm and supportive mother, perceiving community support, and exhibiting higher levels of enculturation were each associated with increased likelihood of pro‐social outcomes. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…A survey instrument appropriate for a mail survey was developed by the researchers based on a review of related literature (Bell & Suggs, 1998;Clifford, 1989;Keith & Vaughn, 1998; National USDA/ES Task Force Report on Competitions, 1989). The instrument had three sections.…”

“…In addition, competitions prepare youth for a competitive world, and motivate them to strive for excellence (4-H Leader, 1986;Fetsch & Yang, 2002;Keith & Vaughn, 1998;Ladewig & Thomas, 1987;Weber & McCullers, 1986;Wessel & Wessel, 1982). Despite these many positive aspects of competition, opponents argue that competition 1) decreases self-esteem and fosters individualism, 2) encourages counter productive activities, 3) aids in imbalanced skill development, 4) makes false judgments about individuals, 5) encourages cheating and unfair practices, 6) requires excessive parental involvement, 7) engages in aggressive behavior, 8) allows for poor sportsmanship, 9) increases improper parental attitudes, and 10) fosters individualism rather than cooperation (Allen et al, 1988a;Allen et al, 1988b;Bell & Suggs, 1998;Clifford, 1989;Fetsch & Yang, 2002;Kohn, 1992;Martens, 1978). Regardless, competition not placed in a proper perspective, coupled with sportsmanship and fairness, may be detrimental to youth development and selfesteem (Perkins, 2000).…”

Competitive events are a major component of 4-H programs in the United States. Each year hundreds of youth participate in 4-H competitive events. Literature on competitions indicates both positive and negative effects on participants. The purpose of this study was to determine the educational value of 4-H competitive events as perceived by parents of 4-H participants. A secondary purpose was to identify factors that underlie competitive events using factor analysis. A descriptive-correlational research design with a mail survey was used to collect data. A total of 340 parents responded to a three-section survey which contained 32 statements relative to the value of 4-H competitive events, prior participation in 4-H and demographic information. Factor analysis extracted six factors which explained 62% of the total variance. Reliability analysis of the six factors revealed acceptable reliability (alpha ranged from 0.63 to 0.90). Parents of 4-H participants perceive that 4-H competitions have various positives and negatives. Positives include: helping youth to learn new things, setting goals, development of life skills, creativity, and preparing youth for a competitive world. Negatives were: aggressive behavior, cheating, and development of unhealthy practices. Four of the six 4-H participation variables were related to perceived value of competitive events.
