Correlation between Gender and Self Esteem

Introduction

The term self esteem is usually used in psychology; the self esteem basically considered as the complete evaluation of a person's worth. Self esteem is considered as an essential aspect of life which reflects how one deal with things and daily life situation. Every person has his own level of esteem. Many researchers explained the self esteem as it's the person personal concept about what he thinks about himself, it's primarily the evaluation of a person's response towards the positive and negative things.

The other way to measure self esteem in one is by evaluating one's academic performance. If one is not performing well than other then the performance level of a person who is not able to achieve will eventually get down. By these facts, one can predict that there exists the correlation between gender and esteem levels.
