The study used both person-centered (i.e., parallel process latent class growth modeling) and variable-centered (i.e., random intercept cross-lagged panel modeling) approaches to examine developmental changes in global and domain-specific self-esteem from middle childhood to early adolescence.
A total of 715 Chinese youth participated (54.3% boys; 45.7% girls; M = 9.96; SD = 0.51) in a 6-wave longitudinal study with 6-month intervals.
Parallel process latent class growth modeling identified three co-developmental trajectories of global and domain-specific self-esteem: Congruent high increasing and then flattening global and domain-specific self-esteem, congruent moderate domain-specific self-esteem with convex global self-esteem, and congruent low with concave appearance and global self-esteem. Results from random intercept cross-lagged panel modeling found reciprocal within-person associations between academic self-esteem and global self-esteem; global self-esteem significantly predicted social self-esteem, while physical appearance self-esteem significantly predicted global self-esteem.
Evidence was provided for top-down and bottom-up effects of self-esteem among Chinese youth. The findings provided new insight into the development of self-esteem in youth.
本研究采用个体中心（即平行过程潜类别增长建模）和变量中心（即随机截距交叉滞后面板建模）方法，考察从中小学到青少年早期，整体自尊和特定领域自尊的发展变化。
共有 715 名中国青少年（男生占 54.3%，女生占 45.7%；M=9.96，SD=0.51）参与了一项 6 波纵向研究，间隔 6 个月。
平行过程潜类别增长建模确定了整体自尊和特定领域自尊的三种共同发展轨迹：一致的高增长然后趋平的整体和特定领域自尊，一致的中等特定领域自尊和凸形整体自尊，以及一致的低自尊和凹形外貌和整体自尊。随机截距交叉滞后面板建模的结果发现，学术自尊和整体自尊之间存在个体内的相互关联；整体自尊显著预测社会自尊，而外貌自尊显著预测整体自尊。
为中国青少年自尊的自上而下和自下而上的影响提供了证据。这些发现为青少年自尊发展提供了新的见解。
