Problem: Annotate the following: Our review of research on the potential benefits of self-esteem will focus predominantly on longitudinal studies. Since 2003, numerous longitudinal studies have been published that use large representative samples and control for prior levels of the predicted outcomes, which increases the validity of conclusions by helping to rule out the possibility that life outcomes lead to higher self-esteem, rather than vice versa. Moreover, several meta-analyses of longitudinal studies have summarized the evidence with regard to specific outcomes, including social relationships, academic achievement, and depression. Thus, wherever possible, we focus on meta-analytic findings, which provide important information about average effect sizes and moderating factors. The review is organized around six broad categories of outcomes: social relationships, school, work, mental health, physical health, and antisocial behavior. Need Assignment Help?
