Stima de sine ca mediator al stresului la adolescenţi

Abstract

The article is a correlational study that has as objective to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and stress at teenagers. The study revealed that if stressors lead to reactions for teenagers with low self-esteem, then self-esteem could be a moderating variable in the relationship between the stressor and reaction. Adolescents with normal self-esteem are prone to adopt more stressful adjustment strategies than individuals with low self-esteem. Thus, faced with the same stressors in the environment, teenagers with low self-esteem will experience more reactions than those with high self-esteem and will experience a higher level of stress.
