ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the direct effects of mother and father attachmenton self-esteem and their indirect influences on self-esteem through peer attachment among children. 262children in Grades 3 to 6 (130 males and 132 females) completed the Inventory of Parent and Peer AttachmentRevised (IPPA-R) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The results of the study suggested that attachmentto mother predicted self-esteem directly and indirectly through peer attachment. Attachment to fatherhad no direct effect on self-esteem, while it had indirect effect on self-esteem through peer attachment.
