Answer:
Ans. Self-esteem is cognitive component of self. The value judgment of a person about herself/himself is called self-esteem. It can be high or low. To assess it, we present a variety of statements to a person and ask him to indicate the extent to which they are true for him. e.g., we may ask a child to what extent the statement I am good at homework or I am highly liked by my peers is true. If he responds as them to be true, he will have a high self-esteem than someone who says no. Studies show that children seem to have formed self-esteem in atleast four areas by the age of 6-7, i.e., academic competence, social competence, physical/athletic competence, and physical appearance.
