Predictors of Self-Esteem: The Roles of Parent-Child Perceptions, Achievement, and Class Placement.

Morvitz, Edward; Motta, Robert W.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v25 n1 p72-80 Jan 1992

This study of students in grades 3-6 found that, for learning-disabled students in self-contained placements, subjects' perception of maternal and paternal acceptance plus subjects' academic achievement accounted for 58 percent of variance in subjects' self-esteem. These variables were not significantly correlated with the self-esteem of non-special-education students. (Author/DB)
