A significant correlation of .63 was found between shyness and self-esteem scores which indicated that shyness is related to low self-esteem.

Abstract. This research aims to find out the relationships among over protect-tive and self-confidence with autonomy. The study involved 118 sixth grade elementary school children age 12 to 13 years to complete self-report of auto-nomy, overprotective and self-confidence. The results of data measurements were analyzed with multiple regression. The results of analysis showed: 1) there is a significant relationship between overprotective and self-confidence with autonomy, 2) there was no correlation between over protective with auto-nomy, and 3) there is a positive and significant relationship between the self-confidence and autonomy. The research findings are discussed in the context of child development. Keywords: overprotective, self-confidence, autonomy

36 elementary school children (20 subjects were below and 16 subjects above 15% overweight) completed a self-esteem and body-esteem questionnaire. The Body-esteem Scale was reliable and suitable for children as young as 7 yr. Body-esteem shared a significant amount of variance with self-esteem and percentage overweight. Although body-esteem and relative weight were correlated, self-esteem and relative weight were not significantly related. Furthermore, body-esteem and self-esteem were not differentially related for 20 normals versus 16 obese children in this sample.
