Some recent studies have indicated that a high self opinion, one that is not contingent upon success, does not correlate with increased academic performance. These studies show that teenagers feel better about themselves than they did in the past, even though academic performance in middle schools and high schools has fallen. What do you think this says about the role of self-esteem?
