- Abstract
Teenagers have varying levels of self-esteem, which are influenced by factors such as gender, ethnicity, and social class. However, these can vary also from person to person. Studies have shown that one-third to one-half of teenagers struggle with low self-esteem, especially in the early adolescence. The results of low self-esteem can be temporary, but in serious cases can lead to various problems including depression, anorexia, delinquency, self-inflicted injuries and even suicide. In contrast to traditional measures of self-esteem which focus on individual self-esteem, Luthan and Crocker developed a measure of collective self-esteem with the following subscales: membership self-esteem, private collective self-esteem, public collective self-esteeme and importance o identity. Our study is based on this type of research.
