GLOBAL SELF ESTEEM IN A SAMPLE OF CZECH SENIORS AND ADOLESCENTS

摘要

In this paper, we have reported on the results of two follow up studies concerning various aspects of global self esteem (GSE). We used the Rosenberg self esteem scale to measure GSE. In study no. 1, we examined the level of global self esteem with respect to gender perspective within a sample of 106 seniors. In the follow up study, we compared the levels of global self esteem of seniors and a sample of 102 adolescents. The results of study no. 1 showed significant differences in GSE between men and women in the sample of seniors. The results of the follow up study showed significant differences in the levels of GSE between seniors and adolescents.
