| Summary: | A survey was conducted to investigate the relationship
between self-esteem and high academic achievement. It is
hypothesized that high academic achievers are more
likely to possess high self-esteem. Fifty undergraduate
students (41 females and 9 males) who received Dean’s
List and obtained a GPA of 3.50 and above were
contacted and selected as respondents. The questionnaire
used to evaluate self-esteem was a modified version
combining Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale and
Coopersmith’s Self Esteem Inventory with some
additional items developed by the present researchers.
The correlational analysis showed a significant, positive
correlation between self-esteem and high academic
achievement with r = .626, p < .001. The implications,
limitations, and suggestions of the study are discussed. |
