Estime de soi et bien-être émotionnel des élèves en difficulté scolaire : une étude en vie quotidienne

Thanks to the ESM method, the independent relationships linking self-esteem, anxiety and depression in the pupil's daily life were analyzed. Contrary to what was observed with the anxiety trait and depression, self-esteem was not significantly associated with negative affect in daily life, with perceived impact of events or with emotional reactivity. These results are useful in the prevention or appropriate treatment as they suggest that distinctive strategies are necessary to improve low self-esteem in relation to other emotional problems in this population. To identify possible therapeutic targets, future studies could examine the links between self-esteem and other aspects of daily life, such as positive emotions, social interactions, or other variables not examined in the current study.
