Opis:
Self-esteem refers to one’s general sense of worthiness as a person. Literature stresses that low self-esteem in adolescence is a risk factor for negative outcomes in important life domains. Research also suggests that people in different cultures (e.g., collectivism vs. individualism) may have various perceptions and evaluations about themselves due to distinct self-constructions. Poland is a country that used to be collectivist but now is undergoing the process of social and economic system transformation, which is taking Polish culture closer to individualistic countries. This study investigated Polish adolescents’ level of global self-esteem as well as the two dimensions of self-esteem (i.e., self-liking and self-competence) in a cross-cultural perspective by comparing the results with an individualistic country (Italy) and a collectivistic country (China). The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was administered to Polish, Italian, and Chinese adolescents. The results showed that: (1) Polish adolescents scored lower both on global self-esteem and self-competence than their Chinese and Italian counterparts; (2) gender did not play a significant influence in the global self-esteem or in the two dimensions; and (3) there were significant interactions between gender and the global self-esteem and the two dimensions: Italian boys reporting higher levels of global self-esteem, self-liking and self-competence than Italian girls, and Polish boys reporting lower level of self-liking than Polish girls. The findings of this study indicate that self-esteem in Polish adolescents is also influenced by culture-specific issues that cannot be limited to the individualism-collectivism framework. Implication for professionals and researchers are discussed.
