Item The effects of abusive sibling conflict on self esteem(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1990) Kannegaard, Mary ElizabethThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the acceptance and use of violence in the family environment, violent conflict between siblings, and self esteem. Acceptance and use of violence in the family environment was measured with the Family Violence Scale developed by Panos D. Bardis. The use of violent sibling conflict between siblings was assessed using the Conflict Tactics Scale developed by Murray Straus. Self esteem was measured using the Self Esteem Inventory which was developed by Stanley Coopersmith. Participant in the study were 150 college students at Montana State University. Volunteers were between 18 and 20 years of age with at least one sibling. Results indicated a significant relationship between the acceptance and use of violence in the home and violent conflict between siblings. A significant relationship was also found between violent sibling conflict and lower self esteem. In looking at male and female respondent separately it was found that violent sibling conflict was negatively related to the self esteem of male respondents and positively related to the self esteem of female respondents. Implications of this study were relevant for parents and professionals who work with families and/or children with problems stemming from low self esteem. The findings are also relevant to the prevention of child abuse.Item The effects of play therapy on the self-esteem of adults with developmental disabilities(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1994) Watts, VirginiaItem A pilot study to measure the effects masculine clothing and a masculine work role influence the self concept of adolescent girls(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1973) Hubble, Andreen LeeItem The effects of reading achievement and sex upon self-esteem of achievers and low-achievers in grades two through six in Billings, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1979) Starr, Judith TassetItem Maternal childrearing attitudes and behavioral academic self-esteem in preschool children(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1990) McGann, Ruth CoxItem Perceived social support and self-esteem in pregnant adolescents choosing to parent(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Nursing, 1994) Scofield, Nada DerryItem A comparison of self-esteem and interest in clothing for elderly females in Bozeman, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1982) Morrill, Judy LarsonItem When does ostracism decrease self-regulation(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2008) Carter, Brett Edward; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Wesley C. LynchPrevious research in social psychology has suggested that ostracism has a negative impact on SE, and also can affect how much food individuals will consume. Moreover, research in the eating disorders literature shows a negative relationship between self-esteem and eating. As such, the present experiment was designed to merge these two lines of research to examine what causal role, if any, self-esteem plays in men's and women's food consumption. It was proposed that some individuals should show a lack of self regulation in terms of the type and amount of food eaten following ostracism. It was also predicted that this effect would have some possible moderators. To test this prediction, participants were randomly assigned to either an ostracism or inclusion condition within the computer game Cyberball. Results indicated that the ostracism manipulation did not result in the anticipated decrease in SE status nor did it cause any significant changes in eating behavior. Nevertheless, significant correlations between SE and body dissatisfaction (BD) were observed, as well as between BD and appearance based rejection sensitivity. There were also significant correlations between body mass index (BMI) and BD, as well as between SE and ARS in both genders. There was also a significant correlation between SE and BMI, but only for male participants. Exploratory analyses revealed that there may have been an unforeseen impact of experimenter gender on eating behavior post ostracism such that self presentation may have impacted the manner in which individuals responded to ostracism.
