This longitudinal study measured the impact of pubertal development, sex, race, and school type on the self-esteem of 12and 13-year-old'children. One of the questions being investigated was whether the move from a protected elementary school into a larger, more impersonal junior high affected children's self-image more negatively than did a move from 6th to 7th grade within the same school. Subjects were 798 children from 18 elementary schools who were interviewed privately once in 6th grade and a year later frI-7th grade. There were three main school populations 'in -the--samrile:,(1) K-8 schools, (2) K-6/ junior high-Schools with comparable social characteristics, and (3) K-6 junior high-Schools which were predominately black. The interview consisted primarily of multiple choice questions concerning self-esteem, social and school behavior. Results indicated that white girls scored lower in self-esteem than, black girls or white and black boys. An analysis of the data comparing white students in K-8 schools with those in K-6/junior high programs indicated that girls moving into a junior high school were more likely to show low self-esteem than girls retaining in a K78 system. Boys did not appear to be affected by school type: Maturation (as measured by the presence ofmenstruation), achievement scores and dating behavior also affected .self-esteem in girls. Results are discussed. (SB) Documents acquired by ERIC include many informal unpublished materials not available from other sources. ERIC makes efre' ry. effort to obtain the best copy available.
