Purposes: (1) to examine the relationship between self-esteem and academic performance or popularity by clarifying the feature of self-esteem individually,(2) to investigate, as every self-esteem type, how children cope with unsuccessful problems in terms of the number of unsuccessful problems they select, how they solve them (mental set), and how they increase their anxiety. Subjects: Fifth grade children (n=69) were divided into five groups (7 subjects each) of self-esteem types, namely high-high (HH), high-low (HL), middle-middle (MM), low-high (LH) and low-low (LL), to score their answers of a questionaire and their behaviour related to self-esteem. Results: HHs have stable self-esteem and get high score in unsuccessful problem selection, mental set and anxiety. LLs have helpless and negative image of themselves and get lowest score in all three problems. HLs and LHs have unstable self-esteem and get various scores according to their stressed conditions.
