Factors Influencing The Self-Esteem Among High School Students: A Case Study Of Shiksha Valley School And Barbaruah Girls High School In Dibrugarh District Of Assam

Abstract

This study explores the self-esteem levels of high school students in Dibrugarh district of Assam, as well as identifies the factors that influence their level of self-esteem. To conduct the research, 153 students from two high schools have been selected as a sample. There are two different types of schools in this study: one is government-run while the other one is privately owned. To assess the level of self-esteem among students, the researcher has calculated the mean, median, standard deviation (SD), skewness, and kurtosis. The results of the study reveal that the self-esteem of students in both schools is influenced by multiple factors. While some factors are similar among the students of both schools, there are also significant differences that differentiate them. Some factors apply to both schools, but others are specific to each school.
