The impact of ethgender on self-esteem among adolescents.
This study examined the impact of ethgender, the combination of race and gender, on global and public domain aspects of adolescent self-esteem. Using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a 3-item index, differences were observed among 10 ethgenders. Black and Hispanic males had the highest levels of global self-esteem, and Asian and Native American Females had the lowest. On public domain components white and black males had the highest scores, and Asian and Native American females had the lowest. Females (except blacks) had lower levels of both global and public domain self-esteem than did males.
