  • Title: School activities and work: effects on adolescent self-esteem.
    Author: Steitz JA, Owen TP.
    Journal: Adolescence; 1992; 27(105):37-50. PubMed ID: 1539500.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the relationship between participation and involvement in school activities, degree of part-time work, and self-esteem in a sample of middle-class urban high school sophomores and juniors. The results indicated that self-esteem was affected by the nature of the school activity and by gender. Within a multivariate context, results indicated no significant correlates of self-esteem among the boys. Among the girls, the significant correlates of self-esteem were hours worked, age, and curricular track. The differential nature of school activities, gender, and the effects of working outside of school are discussed.
