Dyad: self-esteem – academic success, evidenced by counseling activity

Abstract

The research aims to investigate the influence of an ameliorative program over the global self.esteem of preadolescences with reduced self esteem and to track changes occurred on their academic results. We assume that if the scores of global self esteem of preadolescents with low self esteem increases after they graduate an ameliorative program, we expect to have an ascendant curve for
the academic results. The research group is made of 126 preadolescences, both boys and girls.
There were selected students with low to medium-low self-esteem (whom scored under 29, at the Rosenberg Scale for self esteem measuring). We measured the self esteem with Rosenberg scale and the academic results by documentation methods: grades’ registries. The results concludes that after an ameliorative program take place, the preadolescent improve their self esteem and their academic results.
