摘要
The following study proposes describing the levels of self-esteem in children and analyzing whether there are differences based on their sex. The sample consists of 1,757 children aged from 3 to 7. For self-esteem assessment, the EDINA questionnaire was administrated, which shows an appropriate reliability rate (0.803). The self-esteem of girls and boys studied is high. Statistical analyzes showed: a) significantly higher scores on self-esteem of girls; b) a decrease on self-esteem associated to age of children; c) significant differences depending on the socioeconomic status; and d) higher level of self-esteem in children when they have a woman as advisor of class group. In future researches, we suggest the need to study in depth the evolution of sex differences in relation to self-esteem.
