ABSTRACT
This research looked into the effects of sex and parental education level on self-esteem. The participants of exactly 200 students from the Psychology and Political Science Departments at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. That ranged in age from 18 to 39, with a mean age of 22.5 and a standard deviation of 3.12. The index of self-esteem (ISE) proved relevant to assess participants’ self-esteem levels. The data analysis using Three-Way ANOVA revealed that (1) no significant difference in self-esteem appeared between male and female students. F (1,192) = 2.49, P = .12 (2). In terms of self-esteem, there was no difference between pupils whose fathers had greater and lower levels of education. F (1,192) =.02, P >.01 (3). In terms of self-esteem, there was no discernible difference between students whose mothers had greater and lower levels of education, F (1,192) =.05, P >.01, and no difference between the two groups.
The need to look at other people’s characteristics that may affect self-esteem surged up during the discussion, as well as the importance of promoting self-esteem development programmes in families and schools. Discussions on the results’ implications and some suggested changes were also had.
