Summary

Introduction

The present research examined gender differences in age difference patterns of self-esteem in Japan. Present research The present research investigated gender differences in the age difference patterns of self-esteem by analyzing two cross-sectional datasets from large (Study 1: N = 15,965, Study 2: N = 5,258) and diverse samples (ranging from elementary school students to older adults in their 60s, collected from all over Japan) These datasets were used to examine age differences in self-esteem in prior research (Ogihara, 2016, 2018, 2019), but the analyses were conducted separately by gender (Ogihara, 2016, 2019) and did not examine sequential age differences (Ogihara, 2018). I predicted that gender differences in age difference patterns of self-esteem would be absent or if any, small, with slightly larger differences in females than in males.
