Keywords: Self Esteem , Personality characteristics , High and Low Achievers. INTRODUCTION: Emotional stability is considered as one of the important aspect of human life. It is one of the effective determinants of the personality patterns. An emotionally stable individual has the capacity to withstand delay in satisfaction of needs, capability to tolerate a reasonable amount of frustration, belief in long term planning and is able of delaying or revising his expectations in terms of demands of the situations. Kling, Hyde, Showers and Buswell (1999) conducted a study to examine gender differences in global self-esteem. Result indicated that male score higher on standard measure of global self-esteem than females but the difference is small. Mullis and Chapman (2000) studied the relationship between coping, gender, age and self-esteem in adolescents and found that adolescents with higher self-esteem used more problem focused coping strategies and adolescents with lower selfesteem used more emotion focused coping strategies. Vasuki and Reddy (1997) explored the self-esteem of single children using an ex-post facto design, which revealed that most of the children had high self-esteem and no gender differences in the self-esteem of 12-15 years olds were found. Overall all boys showed high self-esteem, and also indicated significant differences in the self-esteem of boys of the two age groups whereas the same was not observed in the case of girls. Hay and Ashman (2003) investigated gender differences associated with the development of adolescents’ sense of general self-concept and emotional stability were investigated with 655 adolescents. Relationships with parents were important for males’ emotional stability, but not females. Peer relations were more influential in the formation of adolescents’ emotional stability than parental relationships. Aleem (2005) examines difference between the mean scores of male and female students on emotional stability and revealed that male students are found to be more emotionally stable than female students. self-esteem and personality are likely to share common developmental roots, and examining the personality correlates of self-esteem across the life span might provide insights into the nature of self-esteem and its development. Like personality, self-esteem is moderately heritable, with about 30% of the variance due to genetic Chaudhari Kailas Digamber, “A STUDY OF SELF ESTEEM AND PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH AND LOW ACHIEVERS” Indian Streams Research Journal | Volume 5 | Issue 1 | Feb 2015 | Online & Print
