The Chinese held dragons in high esteem, using one as the emblem of the royal family, while the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans feared and reviled them, a perception that remained into Judeo-Christian times, when dragons became emblematic of sin.
First, we did not directly measure self esteem using an established experimental measure.
Those with high self-esteem use their confidence as a tool to forge relationships.
This post is about ways to enhance "beauty self-esteem" using cognitive behavioral techniques.
We gauged the child's self-esteem using the Puppet Interview, adapted for 5- to 7-year-olds [ 56, 57].
Correlations were examined among the different outcomes (e.g. PTSD, depression, self-esteem) using Pearson correlation coefficients.
A separate section investigated self-esteem using the Robson Self-Esteem Questionnaire (Robson, 1989) and locus of control using the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (Wallston et al, 1978).
As in Study 1, we measured dispositional self-esteem using Rosenberg's 10-item global self-esteem scale (1 = strongly disagree to 6 = strongly agree; α =.87).
No difference between treatment groups was observed in the patient-assessed evaluation of self-esteem using the "I think I am" scale.
We did not explore different degrees of self-esteem using cutoff points, and used only the correlation between self-esteem and other variables, as well as possible differences with regard to total scores on self-esteem.
