Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between academic achievement, academic performance and self-esteem. Participants for this study consisted of approximately 100 students currently in their junior year at a public high school in Florida. Each student's academic performance was measured by obtaining Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) scores from the previous school year. Academic achievement was obtained by viewing the student's cumulative grade point average. The Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale was administered to assess child self-evaluative attitudes and behaviors that have a bearing on self-esteem. Pearson product-moment correlations and multiple regression analysis were conducted in order to determine the relationship between academic achievement and self-esteem. A significant relationship was found between academic achievement and performance and self-esteem.
