Experiment Report
Project: the development of self-esteem
Subjects: young boys
Procedure:
1. testing (what): measure the boy’s abilities and how they felt about their own abilities
2. dividing (how?) : three groups – those with high self-esteem/ middle self-esteem/ low self-esteem
3. follow-up study (where and when?): in all situations at home/at work/in school/with friends
Conversations: the behavior of the boys
1. boys with high self-esteem: active/ able to express ideas/ successful in school and in relations with other people /creative / led in discussion/ interested in world problem / seldom tired or sick
2. boys with middle self-esteem: like the boys with high self-esteem / express ideas freely/ saw the world as a good and happy place/ not sure of their own value
3. boys with low self-esteem: sad most time/ afraid to start activities/ felt no love/ couldn’t express ideas/ afraid of anger/ no talk in discussion
Findings
1. Three groups of boys act differently
2. High self-esteem does not depend on physical appearance / money/ size of family/ how much the mother at home but it depends on close relationship between the boys and the parents.
Tape-script:
Scientists have learned a great deal about the parts of brain and their functions. They have also studied the development of the personality, for example, how a baby learns to love. In recent studies of two universities in the United States, scientists have investigated the development of self-esteem.
