摘要

Previous studies have shown that self-esteem can vary in different cultures. In this study, self-esteem was examined among Jordanian students in relation to their parenting style and demographics. The study involved 429 students from a faculty at a public university in Jordan. Parenting styles were measured by "Parental Authority Questionnaire" instrument while the self-esteem was measured by "Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory". The data were analyzed by using the "Statistical Package for Social Science" version 22. All the data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, multiple regression, descriptive statistics, a one-way ANOVA and Independent samples T test. Results show that authoritative parenting style is the dominant parenting style used by the parents of university students. In addition, most university students have high level of self-esteem. Besides this, it is also found that there is a significant relationship between parenting style and self-esteem among university students. The study also found that there is a positive relationship between authoritative and permissive parenting style with self-esteem. On the other hand, the study found that the authoritarian parenting style has a negative relationship with students' self-esteem. Moreover, results found that students' self- esteem has differences due to gender in favor of males, GPA in favor of students with a high GPA, family income in favor of higher incomes, skin color in favor of white and brown, and weight in favor of underweight. Whereas, parents’ education level, parents’ marital status, students’ height, student’s birth order, number of years attending university, students’ residency, and death of one or both parents had no significant difference with students’ self-esteem.
