Abstract
The aim of this research is to provide an overview of the self-esteem and inferiority complex of madrasa students in Bangladesh. The adapted Bangla version of Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale and Pati’s inferiority questionnaire were administered individually to 773 students. The analyses of results indicate that there is a significant difference in self-esteem according to gender ( p < .01 level) and socioeconomic status ( p < .05 level). Males have lower self-esteem than females, and lower socioeconomic status have lower self-esteem than other group of socioeconomic status. However, residence has no significant effect on self-esteem. The results also indicate that there is a significant difference in the inferiority complex according to socioeconomic status ( p < .05), but gender and residence have no effect on the inferiority complex. The analysis of results also revealed that self-esteem and inferiority complex were negatively correlated (–.015), that is, if self-esteem increases, then inferiority complex decreases among madrasa students.
