Abstract

Correlations were obtained between self-esteem in children and: parental adjustment scores on the California Test of Personality (CTP), and identification with parents. Correlations were also ob­tained between children’s CTP scores and: self-esteem, parental CTP scores, and identification with parents. No systematic relationships were found between self-esteem and: parental CTP scores, or identi­fication with parents. However, the self-esteem of girls was signifi­cantly correlated with the social adjustment of their fathers. Self­esteem as significantly correlated with adjustment in boys, but not girls.
