  • Title: Role models in self-esteem of college women.
    Author: Mack MG, Schultz AM, Araki K.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 2002 Apr; 90(2):659-64. PubMed ID: 12061610.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the relationship between self-esteem and the existence of role models among a sample of 36 female college students. Participants completed a questionnaire which included demographic questions, the Self-esteem Inventory, and questions concerning use of childhood and contemporary role models. Independent t-test results indicated that participants who reported having current role models had higher self-esteem scores than participants who did not, suggesting that role models may contribute to higher self-esteem in college-age women. No significant differences in self-esteem were by sex of the role model.
