“…Finally, for the third and the main finding, the study results also support the findings from previous studies (e.g., Mirzaei-Alavijeh et al, 2018;Wibowo, 2016;Rosli et al, 2011;Aryana, 2010;Sandra, 2009;Habibollah et al, 2008;Sadaat et al, 2012) who all cited a positive correlation between self-esteem and academic performance. However, the findings differ from Van Laar's (2000) study who found that there is little to no relationship between self-esteem and academic success in African American students.…”

A positive correlation between self-esteem and academic achievement is often noted in the literature on educational psychology. As such, self-esteem and academic achievement are often inter-related. Additionally, gender is believed to have an impact on an individual’s self-esteem and varied disparities are found in self-esteem level between genders. The relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement among undergraduates in Malaysia, is still understudied and the lack of literature necessitates an empirical study. Hence, this study explored the relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement among undergraduates of a private university in Malaysia. Also, it investigated if there is any significant difference in self-esteem and academic achievement between genders. A convenience sampling method was employed on 60 male and 60 female undergraduates of TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) program. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire was utilized to obtain the data on the participants’ self-esteem and their Grade Point Average (GPA). Data analysis using Spearman’s rho correlation revealed a significant relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement. Based on the Chi-square test result, a significant difference in academic achievement between male and female students was established. However, the independent t-test result revealed an absence of significant difference in self-esteem between male and female students. The findings demonstrate essential implications for students, counselors, and educators, and suggest relevant recommendations for future research. A larger sample size should be employed, and other important demographic variables should be explored to examine more in-depth into this interesting field of study.

“…People with low self-esteem either have uncertain or mixed emotional state toward themselves. Too low self-esteem often leads to mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and self-doubt (Naderi et al, 2009;Gallagher, 2017). Self-esteem is linked with how well the norms mandated by the culture are satisfied by individuals that often differ between male and female (Kundu & Rani, 2007).…”

Youth worldwide are increasingly exposed to social media and its consequences, and Bhutanese children are no exception. Owing to limited studies on the impacts of social media on students in Bhutan, this study investigates self-esteem and social media addiction, considering the gender of the students in the Zilukha Middle Secondary School, Thimphu, Bhutan. Out of 327 students, data were collected from 180 students (90 males and 90 females) using proportionate random sampling. The t-tests results revealed no significant difference in the social media addiction and self-esteem between male and female students. The study also found a significantly negative correlation between social media addiction and self-esteem of students. As social media addiction and self-esteem scores did not significantly differ between male and female students, parents and teachers need to monitor the use of social media by students irrespective of their gender. Similar studies in other parts of the country, particularly representing students in rural areas, are recommended for new social media addiction and self-esteem insights.
