Abstract

Objective: The goal of this study was to understand the relationship between adolescent self-esteem, appraisal support, belonging support, and tangible support. Besides that, it was hypothesized that gender, place of residence, and family type would all have a significant impact on self-esteem, appraisal support, belonging support, and tangible support levels. Tools: The Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSE), the Interpersonal support evaluation list (ISEL), and a personal information form were used. Sample: The study was conducted on 114 adolescents among them 32 males and 82 females. Method: Survey method was used to collect the data. Analysis: Karl Pearson’s product moment correlation, independent sample t test and one way ANOVA were applied to analyze the data. Results: The findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between self-esteem and perceived social support, as well as a significant demographic difference. According to the study, male adolescents have higher appraisal support than female adolescents. Furthermore, adolescents from rural areas have higher appraisal support than those from urban areas.
