Qualitative literature review on transition states of self esteem development: From childhood to old age

Self-esteem, the fulcrum of every human being existing in the world, and it determines many aspects till he reaches the grave. High self esteem is an asset at any point of time, as well the lower self esteem is like a nuclear bomb ticking in, which might trigger anything but negative. A trait which is gaining prominence while measuring a personality is still a very curious area of research. Every individual if asked to do a paper pencil test with a tool of self esteem, they become attractive as a social psychological construct and grow as influential predictor of achievements and growth of an Individual, from cradle to grave. Every step of growth from academic achievement, happiness, satisfaction towards school, home, parents and when grown up, the society, marriage and relationships, and if negative the criminal behaviour. The research on self esteem is ever growing and is still getting into deeper insights.
