Self-Esteem in Girls Attending Single-Sex vs. Coed Private High Schools, 1975https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FSZ21ERoss, Margaret C.Harvard Dataverse2007-11-282022-02-22T08:27:17ZThese data were collected in order to examine self-esteem in 11th grade high school girls attending single-sex versus coeducational private schools in a large northeastern city.<br /><br /> A total of 50 students were tested: 32 in the single-sex school and 18 in the coeducational school. The participants were 16 or 17 years old and of mostly upper-middle socioeconomic level. Data were collected in the 11th grade classrooms in the fall of 1975.<br /><br /> The package of instruments used consisted of four verbal Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) cues; the "Who am I?" test, which elicits 10 different open-ended responses to that question; "The Way I Am" and "The Way I Would Like to Be" scales, which are modified Q-sort descriptions of self and ideal self; and finally, a one-page general information questionnaire consisting of short answer questions about age, family, education, and extracurricular activities. <br /><br /> The Murray Research Archive has all original record paper data including some researcher notes.Social Sciences2007-11-28197019801975field studyUnited States<div style="padding-left: 30px;"> <ul style="list-style-type: decimal;" ><li> The Murray Archive (the Distributor) has granted me a revocable license to use this dataset solely for the purposes of conducting research, and the Distributor may terminate this license at any time and for any reason. </li> <li> I will use the dataset solely for statistical analysis and reporting of aggregated information, and not for investigation of specific individuals or organizations, except when identification is authorized in writing by the Distributor. </li> <li>I will produce no links among the Distributor’s datasets or among the Distributor’s data and other datasets that could identify individuals or organizations. </li> <li>I represent that neither I, nor anyone I know, has any prior knowledge of the possible identities of any study participants in any dataset that I am being licensed to use. </li> <li> I will not knowingly divulge any information that could be used to identify individual participants in the study, nor will I attempt to identify or contact any study participant, and I agree to use any precautions necessary to prevent such identification. </li> <li> I will make no use of the identity of any person or establishment discovered inadvertently.
