N2  - The present cross-temporal meta-analysis involving 68 studies (n = 35,499) found that Chinese adolescents' scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale decreased substantially from 1996 to 2009. The decline of self-esteem across birth cohorts was associated with the slide of social connection level of Chinese adolescents. Correlations between self-esteem and corresponding social indicators like the floating population and divorce rate were significant. Analysis on self-esteem age differences showed that self-esteem development in China was different from Western results: self-esteem scores followed a roughly increasing trend from Grade 7 through Grade 12 with double dip points at Grades 7 and 11.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
