The investigation was conducted on 206 pupils of both sex in the fourth grade of elementary school (average age 10 and 4 months). Their self-esteem was measured as well as their sociometric position with the aim to establish the relation between the self-esteem and different types of positions in the classroom. The results shows that popular pupils, regarless of sex, have significantly more self-esteem than the rejected pupils. In the sample with girls the self-esteem of the popular ones is significantly higher than the self-esteem of the isolated girls. The results were interpreted in accordance to Maslow’s theory.
