Review question / Objective: What kind of relationship exists between social competence and self-esteem in students of any age? Condition being studied: Self-esteem is understood as the evaluative dimension of self-concept, having great importance in the interpretation of opinions, behavior, and emotions. The study of the relationship between these two concepts is important because low levels of self-esteem can be a source of significant psychological distress and can diminish the individual's social competence skills. And in turn, the strengthening of self-esteem would increase the likelihood of adequate progress in social competence, which would imply a healthy development of the individual in his or her environment. Other studies reveal the association between perceived social competence, higher levels of emotional regulation, better academic performance, adequate coping strategies, and a healthier self-concept among the child and adolescent population.
