A recent meta-analysis has shown gender differences in aspects of self-esteem. What are these differences and in what areas do they occur?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Men do have more positive self-esteem about their physical appearance than women. However, women have higher self-esteem in the areas of morality and ethics. In other areas, such as academics and social acceptance, men and women do not differ in their levels of self-esteem.
