A Cross-Sectional Study of Self-Esteem and Body Image Satisfaction among Primary School Teachers in Sonitpur, Assam

Background: Body image is a multidimensional dynamic construct that involves internal biological and psychological factors as well as external cultural and social determinants. Body image concerns are connected with total poor self-concept in early adolescents, including poor physical, social, and academic self-concepts as well as low overall self-esteem (SE). Objective: The present study aims to examine the SE and body image satisfaction among primary school teachers in Sonitpur, Assam. Materials and Methods: The study was cross-sectional in nature. A total of 60 primary school teachers who were above 18 years of age were selected from 12 schools randomly and were included in the study. Data collection was collected with the help of the following tools: sociodemographic datasheet, Rosenberg SE Scale, Body Shape Questionnaire, and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 items by investigators from February 2022 to July 2022 in Sonitpur province, Assam. Descriptive statistics were used to determine categorical variables, and analysis was carried out by computing percentages and the Chi-square test. Results: The results of the present study revealed that 15.0% of the respondents showed mild-to-moderate stress, 30.0% had mild-to-severe anxiety, and 1.7% had mild depression. A significant negative correlation was found between SE and stress (r = −0.421, P < 0.01) and SE and anxiety (r = −0.433, P < 0.01). Furthermore, a significant correlation was found between body shape (BS) and weight (r = 0.590, P < 0.05), BS and stress (r = 0.355, P < 0.01), and BS and anxiety (r = 0.333, P < 0.01). Conclusion: People with lower SE are progressively likely to report dissatisfied with their body size or shape and irrespective of age or gender. Since body image represents a large part of a person’s self-concept, it is unsurprising that SE and body dissatisfaction are related.

Development of Self-Concept in Childhood and Adolescence: How Neuroscience Can Inform Theory and Vice Versa

How do we develop a stable and coherent self-concept in contemporary times? Susan Harter’s original work, <i>The Construction of Self</i> (1999; 2012), argues that cognitive and social processes are building blocks for developing a coherent sense of self, resulting in self-concept clarity across various domains in life (e.g., [pro-]social, academic, and physical). Here, we show how this framework guides and can benefit from recent findings on (1) the prolonged and nonlinear structural brain development during childhood and adolescence, (2) insights from developmental neuroimaging studies using self-concept appraisal paradigms, (3) genetic and environmental influences on behavioral and neural correlates of self-concept development, and (4) youth’s perspectives on self-concept development in the context of 21st century global challenges. We examine how neuroscience can inform theory by testing several compelling questions related to stability versus change of neural, behavioral, and self-report measures and we reflect on the meaning of variability and change/growth.

Career identity among children leaving out-of-home care: Implications on Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy

ObjectiveThis study explores the career identity and self-concept (self-esteem and self-efficacy) of adolescents leaving out-of-home care and also examines how these two constructs are associated. MethodData were from the 2021 Independent Living Settlement Compulsory Education for Adolescents Leaving Residential Out-of-Home Care Survey. The sample included 220 children living across Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. We used latent profile analysis (LPA) for profile classification, ANOVA for identifying group differences on career identity and self-concept, and multiple regression analysis to predict self-esteem and self-efficacy with different types of career identity. ResultsAdolescents with moderate to high career identity accounted for 76.4% of the sample and they were more likely to have higher levels of self-esteem and self-efficacy compared to those with lower career identity. For Self-Doubt group, it seemed that children had mixed feelings of self-doubt and some confidence although they reported quite reasonable levels of career exploration and preparation. In addition, adolescents with higher scores of good mental health were more likely to have higher levels of self-esteem and self-efficacy. ConclusionsAdolescents with higher levels of career identity tend to have better self-concept, such as high self-esteem and self-efficacy. An integrated intervention approach is essential for adolescents leaving out-of-home care building confidence in themselves as well as having a clear career path.

Inferiority Complex in Adolescent Users of The Tiktok Application

In today's digital era, the role of social media such as TikTok can influence the formation of adolescent self concepts. If it is not accompanied by a positive attitude, the various content seen can create a stimulus that forms a negative self-concept for adolescents. Inferiority complex is a condition in which individuals cannot compensate for feelings of inferiority so they tend to view their self-concepts negatively and feel powerless to face the environment. This study aims to determine the description of inferiority complex behavior in adolescent users of the TikTok application. This research is a mix method with purposive sampling technique. Quantitative data collection using an inferiority feeling scale. Qualitative data collection using interviews to 6 respondents with low, medium, and high inferiority complex categories. The results of the study describe that the inferiority complex behavior of adolescent users of the TikTok application is related to aspects of social confidence, school abilities, self-regard, physical appearance, and physical abilities. The survey results also found that 8.82% of teenagers using the TikTok application had a low level of inferiority complex; 85.30% at moderate level; and 5.88% at high levels.

The effectiveness of super's theory-based career group counseling in developing self-concept and career decision-making among a sample of gifted students in Jordan

This study explores the effectiveness of Donald Super’s theory-based career group counseling in improving self-concept and career-related decision-making among a sample of gifted students enrolled in King Abdullah II School for Excellence in Jordan. The quasi-experimental study used a total of 56 male and female tenth grade students, who volunteered to participate in the group counseling program. They were randomly distributed into two groups (experimental and control), each consisting of 15 participants. In order to answer the question of the study, a career group counseling program was developed based on Super's theory, and two scales were applied—the Adolescent Self-Concept Short Scale (ASCSS) and the Career Decision-Making (CDM) scale. The career group counseling program was applied to experimental group through 14 sessions (two weekly sessions) each lasting for 90 minutes The results of the study revealed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of α = < 0.05 between the degree of the experimental and control group scores in the post-test on the Adolescent Self-Concept Short Scale and the Career Decision-Making scale in favor of the experimental group, which showed the effectiveness of the program in promoting self-concept and career decision-making.

Predictors of Impairment and Self-Concept in Children and Adolescents with Persistent Tic Disorder.

This study examined predictors of, and associations between, self-concept, demographic variables, and clinical measures in fifty-eight children and adolescents with Persistent Tic Disorder (PTD; 44 males, Mage = 11.9years, SD = 2.74). Participants completed measures that assessed self-concept, tic severity, tic-related impairment, and comorbid psychological symptoms. Results showed that generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, total tic severity, number and complexity of tics, and total and social tic-related impairment were associated with self-concept. Tic-related social impairment mediated the relationship between tic severity and self-concept. Exploratory analyses found that total tic severity, motor tic severity, and vocal tic severity, as well as the number, intensity, and interference of tics predicted social tic-related impairment. Results suggest that treatments to reduce the number and complexity of tics, with additional focus on navigating social interactions, may serve to decrease tic severity and impairment, and in turn, improve self-concept.

Interrelation of conceptual abilities and Self-concept in adolescence

This article provides a theoretical analysis of the psychological constructs of "conceptual abilities" and "self-concept" and examines the theoretical justification for the connection between conceptual abilities, as manifestations of conceptual thinking, and the formation of personality and its self-concept in adolescence. Theoretical arguments are presented in favor of this connection: during the formation of conceptual thinking and conceptual abilities, the intellectualization of all functions and developing qualities of adolescents occurs; new formations such as objectification and decentering are developed; the ability to abstract increases, which determines the differentiation of personal qualities and self-representations and their integration at a higher level, a radical restructuring of personality takes place, the formation of moral consciousness, including relationships with others, and the adaptive properties of personality increase, influencing its social behavior. The article shows the prospects of research due to verify the alleged relationship and clarify its nature by mathematical methods (correlation, regression, factor analysis).

Mediating the Effect of the Parent-Child Relationship in the Relationship Between Self-concept and Career Maturity in Children and Adolescents

The objective of this study is to determine whether the parent-child relationship exerts a mediating effect on the influencing relationship of the self-concept of children and adolescents with career maturity. To this end, we processed data from 5621 students who participated in the first through fifth rounds of the survey in the 2013 Korea Education Longitudinal Study. We performed a paired sample t-test to verify differences between the groups of children and adolescents. To verify the mediating effect of the parent-child relationship on the influencing relationship of self-concept among children and adolescents with career maturity. The results showed that there was a difference depending on gender and city size in terms of self-concept, career maturity, and relationship. This study also revealed a significant discrepancy in the self-concept and parent-child relationship based on the developmental stages. In addition, the study also verified the mediating effect of the parent-child relationship in the relationship between the self-concept of children and adolescents and their career maturity. Based on these findings, it is necessary to implement a systematic education program for parents because the parent-child relationship is highly important in improving students’ career maturity.

Effect of Teacher’s Feedback on Self-Concept of Students at Secondary Level

Self-concept is set of personal schemas (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2002) that become more relevant during adolescence or teenage period (Fournier, 2018). Also, it is related to psychological well-being among adolescents (Marshall, 2001; McCullough, Huebner, & Laughlin, 2000). Although many factors contribute in building and shaping the self-concept in adolescents; but the present research intended to examine the role of Teacher’s feedback on the Self-concept among students. The study was conducted on sample (N=300) of students (M=15.6, SD=1.4); comprising of boys (n=150) and girls (n=150) from the public schools in urban areas of Islamabad, Pakistan. The study instruments; Teacher’s Feedback Scale (Burnett, 2003) and Adolescent’s Self-concept Short Scale (Veiga & Leite, 2016), were translated and adapted by the researcher with permission of original authors. Findings suggest that providing positive feedback about the ability of students predict a positive self-concept explaining 23% variance (DR=.228), whereas negative feedback is the non-significant negative predictor of the self-concept. The gender differences on both scales were also explored. Results can be employed to devise a teaching plan with a focus on positive feedback by teachers and avoiding negative one to help improve the self-concept among the students.

The role of autism and alexithymia traits in behavioral and neural indicators of self-concept and self-esteem in adolescence.

Developing a positive view of the self is important for maintaining a good mental health, as feeling negative about the self increases the risk of developing internalizing symptoms such as feelings of depression and anxiety. Even though autistic individuals regularly struggle with these internalizing feelings, and both self-concept and internalizing feelings are known to develop during adolescence, there is a lack of studies investigating the development of positive self-concept and self-esteem in autistic adolescents. Here, we studied academic, physical, and prosocial self-concept as well as self-esteem in adolescent males with and without autism on both the behavioral and neural level. We additionally focused on similarities in one's own and peers' perspectives on the self, and we assessed a potential role of alexithymia (i.e. having trouble identifying and describing one's feelings) in developing a more negative view of the self. Results showed that there were no group differences in self-esteem, self-concept, or underlying neural activation. This shows that autistic adolescent males use the same neural processes when they evaluate their traits. However, regardless of clinical diagnosis, a higher number of autism traits was related to a less positive physical and prosocial self-concept, whereas more difficulty identifying one's feelings was related to lowered self-esteem and less activation in medial prefrontal cortex during self-evaluations. Therefore, in treatment of autistic adolescents with low self-esteem, it is important to take into account and possibly aim to improve alexithymic traits as well.

Motivational Climate, Physical Self-Concept, and Social Relationships in Adolescents in Physical Education Classes: A Systematic Review

The aim of the present study was to provide a comprehensive summary of scientific evidence related with the influence on physical self-concept and prosocial behaviours in adolescents, taking into account the motivational climate generated in Physical Education classes by the teacher. Studies with similar samples have shown that special consideration must be given to the motivational climate of involvement with the task and the coach’s style in support of autonomy in a greater occurrence of prosocial behaviours in the sports context, which shows that the social context is the most important variable in the direction of moral behaviours. Following the application of a search protocol in the Web of Science (WoS) database, 131 articles were initially identified, with eight manuscripts finally being analysed according to previously established criteria for the various stages of the PRISMA checklist. Despite only a relatively small number of articles being available to have rigorously evaluated the topic of interest, analysed studies revealed a direct relationship between motivational climate and physical self-concept. In contrast, no relationship emerged with prosocial behaviour.

Adolescents' self-concept in terms of their parents' marriage

Parental divorce can influence the way teenagers recognize themselves in forming one of their developmental tasks, namely self-concept. Adolescents with different family statuses, divorced and non-divorced, may have different views and expectations regarding themselves. The aim of this research is to determine the differences in self-concept of adolescents with divorced and non-divorced parents. A total of 106 students of SMAN 7 Makassar with an age range of 14-18 years were selected using Accidental Sampling. The measuring instrument used is the self-concept scale. The hypothesis is explained using the Mann Whitney test using SPSS 16 for Windows. The results of the study showed that there was a difference between the self-concept of adolescents with divorced parents and adolescents with non-divorced parents (p=0.00 <0.05). Adolescents with divorced parents have a mean rank of 63.42 and adolescents with non-divorced parents have a mean rank of 42.58, so it is concluded that adolescents with divorced parents have high self-concept scores.

Dimensions of Self-Concept in Adolescents: An In-depth Analysis Among Junior High School Students

This research explores the intricate nature of self-concept, a pivotal element in human behavior and identity formation, encompassing beliefs, thoughts, and perceptions shaping individuals' understanding of themselves and their environment across physical, psychological, and social dimensions, influencing behavior and self-esteem. Focusing on junior high school students aged 13-18 in Bangka Belitung, the study employs a quantitative descriptive approach with 126 participants, employing Rahmat's theory (2013) to gauge self-concept facets. Outcomes reveal that 34% of students perceive their self-concept as moderate, while 4% hold positive views and 32% exhibit above-average self-concepts. Notably, gender-based disparities accentuate the need for tailored interventions. Identification of areas needing improvement via validity testing led to proposed classical guidance topics aimed at augmenting self-concept, including body care, confidence-building, and social interaction. Implications stress the significance of customized interventions, gender-aware strategies, and nurturing positive self-concept for comprehensive student growth, in alignment with educational experts' viewpoints, advocating self-awareness, constructive perspectives, and individualized assistance. These insights advocate holistic approaches to empower students on their path to self-acceptance, personal development, and holistic growth, echoing broader educational objectives and policies, reaffirming the pivotal role of classical guidance in molding students' self-concept.
