Abstract
Research on adolescent females suggests that many factors contribute to their self-esteem (Coopersmith, 1967; Gilligan, Brown, & Rogers, 1990; Rosenberg, 1965). According to this research, certain factors can dramatically affect females' self-esteem scores (Coopersmith, 1967; Gilligan et al., 1990; Greenberg-Lake, 1992; Rosenberg, 1965). These characteristics include the developmental stage of adolescence (Coopersmith, 1967), relationships with peers and adults (Rosenberg, 1965), gender identity and moral development (Gilligan, et al., 1990), and, finally, school success (Coopersmith & Feldman, 1974). The recent research on gender identity (Gilligan et al., 1990; Greenberg-Lake, 1992; Miller, 1986), however, seems to point to a difficulty that adolescent females have in clearly identifying who they are and what they believe to be true about themselves.
