In this study, self-esteem refers to feelings of satisfaction a person has about himself which reflect the relationship between his self-image and his ideal self-image. Different measures of self-esteem, related to this definition, were studied in a sample of 44 late adolescent Ss. Test measures and interview assessment of self-esteem met certain criteria of validity as outlined by Campbell and Fiske. Clinical configurations of self-esteem, including defensive aspects, are described and related to the test measures.
