Sex Roles, 25, 129—139. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00289850https://hdl.handle.net/1794/282038 pagesWhile data from a sample of fourth-grade children indicate that both self-efficacy (masculinity) and relationality (femininity) are strongly associated with self-esteem for both girls and boys, results from a comparable sample of adolescents aged 14-18 and a subsample of the fourth graders when they were in twelfth grade indicate that only self-efficacy is generally associated with selfesteem. An association between relationality and self-esteem is found in adolescents only for a small, high-achieving, high-SES subset of "androgynous" males.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USchildrenadolescentsself-efficacyArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1007/BF00289850
