Consistent with attitude theory, self-esteem was considered in this study to be an attitude toward self, with component self-beliefs that associate or dissociate self with a desired or undesired attribute. It was hypothesized that the structure of self-beliefs underlying self-esteem is different across ethnic and gender boundaries. This hypothesis was tested by measuring the overall self-esteem and specific self-belief components in a sample of 643 (305 African-American and 338 White) middle school students in two small rural southern towns. In a series of regression analyses within ethnicity by gender groups, the self-esteem measure was predicted from indices representing specific self-beliefs associating self with different attributes. Substantial differences were found between the ethnicity by gender groups in the type of beliefs that best predicted self-esteem.
与态度理论一致，本研究认为自尊是对自我的一种态度，其组成部分自我信念将自我与期望或不期望的属性联系或分离。据推测，自尊背后的自我信念结构在种族和性别界限上存在差异。通过测量来自两个南部农村小镇的643名（305名非裔美国人和338名白人）中学生样本的总体自尊和特定自我信念成分来检验这一假设。在按性别分组的种族内部的一系列回归分析中，自尊测量值是根据代表将自我与不同属性联系起来的特定自我信念的指标来预测的。在按性别分组的种族之间，发现最能预测自尊的信念类型存在显著差异。
