Description

This research project involves learning about the self-esteem difference in sixth and seventh grade students and the correlation to adjustment as junior high students. It is important to be aware of the students self esteem to improve their junior high school experience. There will be a noticeable difference in the results between the sixth and seventh grade self esteem surveys/questionnaires. The seventh grade students will have lower scores suggesting lower self-esteem. The sixth and seventh grade students will be administered the Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale, respectively. With the exception of identifying the grade level, the surveys/questionnaires will be anonymous. Comparisons will be made of the results through graphing. This research is in progress and will be ready by the Undergraduate Research Conference in the beginning of April 2010. This research is being conducted to give the agency (school) an idea of the self-esteem their sixth and seventh grade students have. This research may show the school that it needs to implement self- esteem programs, or add self-esteem lessons and discussions as a part of their curriculum. This research is in progress and therefore, no conclusions have been pronounced.
