“…They have ability of self-expression; they are not under the influence of others. The individuals with low self-esteem have low self-belief and self-confidence, they aim for successes under their capacity, they always evaluate themselves negatively, they are anxious, pessimistic, they are pessimistic about the future, in case they experience failure they can accuse themselves of being worthless and incompetent (Coleman and Hendry, 1990;Hamarta and others, 2009;Loquat, 2005;Kass, 1998;Yorukoglu, 1998;Brown and Mann, 1991;Hogg and Vaughan, 2006).…”

Students' self-esteem levels have been evaluated using Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale which was developed by Rosenberg (1965) and was adapted to Turkish by Cuhadaroglu (1986). Control group pre-test post-test model was used as research design. After the pre-test measurements, an online training program consisting of nine sessions has been implemented individuals in the experimental group. During this period, no operation has been conducted with individuals in the control group. One week after the end of sessions the post-test measurements were taken. SPSS 20.0 has been utilized in the statistical analysis of the study data and was tested with the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test. The results obtained from this study have shown that online self-esteem and awareness training program is effective to increase university students' self-esteem levels...

“…However, factors related to decision making in adolescents within the general population are well known: age, gender, culture, family income, family structure, parenting style, and cognitive ability. Of these, the primary predictors seem to be age and gender (Brown & Mann, 1990;Brown & Mann, 1991;Flanagan, 1990;Urberg & Rosen, 1987), family income (Brown & Mann, 1990;Flanagan, 1990), and cognitive ability (Sachs, 1985;Mann, Harmoni, & Power, 1989;Ormond, Luszcz, Mann, & Beswick, 1991).…”

Adolescents with a history of cancer frequently engage in risk behaviors. The purpose of this correlational study was to explore factors that affect decision making and risk behaviors (smoking, alcohol use, and illicit drug use) of cancer-surviving adolescents. A sample of 52 teen survivors participated at two cancer centers. In addition to a medical record review and IQ testing, several psychosocial measures were administered in a semistructured interview with the teen survivor. Three antecedent factors (cognitive function, resiliency, and role modeling of risk behaviors by parents and peers) were examined in a hierarchical regression model to predict decision making. These same factors, with an additional mediating variable (decision making), were examined in a hierarchical logistic regression model to predict risk behaviors in teen survivors. In the decision-making model, adjusted for demographic covariates, resiliency was a marginally significant predictor of decision making. As non-resiliency increases, quality of decision making may decrease for teen survivors. In the model to predict risk behaviors, four factors (cognitive function, resiliency, role modeling, and decision making) were added to the basic model, controlling for the same covariates. Resiliency and decision making were highly significant predictors of one or more risk behaviors. Non-resilient teen survivors with poor-quality decision making are more likely to engage in risk behaviors of substance use and need intervention that is aimed at improving decision-making skills to reduce these behaviors.

“…The child's social emotional adjustment and social skills are also closely related to academic self-respect. In research, it is seen that children having high self-respect are socially compatible, independent, creative, self-confident, successful and healthy, able to express their ideas easily (Brown & Mann, 1991;Warash & Markstrom, 2001) children having low academic self-respect have higher levels of asocial behaviors such as dominance of the idea that their ideas will not be accepted, disliking to be in social environments and avoiding the tasks assigned to them (Kaytez & Kadan, 2016).…”

The study was conducted to determine the effect of the Social Skills Education Program applied to the preschool children in the ages of 48 to 60 months on their academic self-respect and problem solving skills. The study had a single group with the pretest-posttest experimental model. The study group consisted of 16 preschool children in the ages of 48 to 60 months. Since there was no other group with equivalent qualities as the experiment group, the study was planned in a single group experimental model. "Personal Information Form, Interpersonal Problem Solving Scale and Academic Self Respect Scale were used as the data collection tools. In the study, Social Skill Education Program was applied to the children for two days a week during 14 weeks. The problem solving and academic self-respect levels of children were measured before and after the program. As a result of the analyses, a significant difference (p<0.05) was determined in favor of posttest between the scores of children before and after the Social Skill Education Program. Upon the permanence test, it was concluded that the Social Skill Education Program was permanent.
