Student Self Esteem\u27s Effect on Classroom Leadership

It is assumed that student’s who possess the combination of high self-esteem and social intelligence are guaranteed to be more vocal, persuasive, and productive leaders within a classroom environment and later in the work environment. However, without statistical data it is difficult to prove the correlation between a student’s self confidence and their performance within the classroom. This paper intends to present data that will clearly define the influence individual self esteem and social intelligence has over classroom behavior. After assessing individual empathy, listening skills, open mindedness, productivity, and persuasion techniques within the classroom, this information can be compared to each student’s semantic differential scale (a classic self esteem survey). After testing is complete, each personality quality will be tested for reliability and then continue on to a complete correlation analysis. The final statistics presented will give a vivid indication of the relationship between the mentality of a student and how they conduct themselves within a learning environment
