| Popis: | After a first survey realized in 1995-1996 on the selfesteem of 3098 children at school in 6eme (grade 7) in an area of France, a new survey realized in 2008- 2009 has shown the evolution of the characteristics for the same population. 2017 children between 11 and 13 years old have answered to a questionnaire including the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI), completed by 5 questions about the existence of daily conflicts between parents, the guilt and illbeing felt by the children when their parents are quarrelling, and their alignment with the anger of the father or the mother. The situation of the family was asked (single-home family, deceased parents, separated parents) and, in case of separated parents, the housing mode. 24.49% of the children have separated parents. Among them, 72.4% live mainly at mother's home, and 16.7% do not see anymore their father. 7.5% live mainly at the father's home, 20.1% have a shared custody. 9.1% say that their parents are quarrelling. 13.7% feel guilty and 65.5% feel bad during the quarrels. The SEI score of the children are higher when the parents live together and when the children have a shared custody. This score is very low when the children have parents quarrelling whether they stay together or they get separated. The conflicts have a very negative influence on the children self-esteem. When there is no conflict, the separation of the parents decreases the self-esteem of the children, but to a lesser level. |
