Abstract
Six groups of pupils (males and females) from the United States, India, and the Philippines were compared in self-esteem by gender and country. Because all pupils were educated in schools where English was the language spoken, it was not necessary to use Indian or Filipino self-perception instruments. Therefore, the Coopersmith (1959) Self-Esteem Inventory was administered to all 285 pupils in the respective countries and classrooms. A 3 × 2 analysis of variance revealed significant main effects by country but not by gender.Keywords
