The atithots Investigated Ihe sources of sell-esteem with the question: Who likes you? (n-60), that is. with the question: Who are those that like you? (n-90). The investigation was done with the children who attended the kindergarten for at least a year and who were equal in some relevant socio-demographic characteristics and in intelligence. The established sources of self-esteem are in frequency and the order of importance different from those that Kirchner and Vondraek got with the American children. The obtained sources of self-esteem show the consistency through different situations of investigation and the results in general support the theoretical approach that in earliy development the self-esteem is centered around the parent-child relation.
