Self-Esteem in Female Adolescents and Relationships of Its Predictors with Culture

Summary/Abstract: Self-esteem is individuals’ subjective appraisals about their self-worth. It is widely accepted that self-esteem is an important factor in adolescent development and has been suggested to have important links with adolescent well-being. The gender factor in self-esteem has been included in many studies. Gender roles and stereotypes, body image, parental style, and cultural norms become prominent as the self-esteem predictors we focus on in the female gender. The purpose of this review article is to discuss the findings on culture-related differences with effective predictors of adolescent women’s self-esteem development. As a result, it has been determined that perceptions of gender roles, parental styles, and body image have changed in the cultural context, and have different effects on the development of self-esteem in female adolescents.
