Self‐esteem was found to have a moderate relationship with, but not a strong independent effect on, school achievement and behavior for a sample of 530 twelve‐year‐olds. From multiple correlation coefficients predicting school outcomes from measures of socioeconomic status, IQ, and self‐esteem, it was concluded that much of the relationship between self‐esteem and school performance for the general school population can best be explained as reflecting common underlying factors such as ability and background.
