Abstract

This study employed a questionnaire survey with 460 students, combined with statistical data analysis using SPSS 20.0, to examine the characteristics of self-esteem among students at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. The findings indicate that students generally rated their self-esteem at a moderate to moderately high level. In addition, the study found no statistically significant differences in self-esteem across demographic variables, including gender, academic year, academic performance, the number of close friends in the same class, and the number of teachers toward whom students reported positive regard.
