| Summary: | According to Kitano (1989), a computer search of literature revealed 6,500 article titles that explicitly use the term self-esteem and over 30,000 articles that used the term self in a hyphenated form, many of which dealt with the concept of self-esteem.

The study focuses on freshmen students in De La Salle University. A pre-test and post-test was administered, both containing the Rosenberg scale to measure self-esteem. The pre-test showed the level of commitment to an identity, the post-test simulated self-verification. A 2-way ANOVA was used to interpret results. The study sought to find out if 1.) Self-verification affected self-esteem 2.) Self-verification did not affect self-esteem and 3.) Self-verification and identity commitment had an interaction effect. |
