Juan and Juanita are teenagers. How might Juanita's self-esteem be different from her brother's throughout middle and high school?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: There is a perception that girls' self-esteem plunges at adolescence. There actually is a small decline in self-esteem during middle school that is very similar for boys and girls. However, girls' self-esteem does not increase as fast as boys' does between middle school and high school, leading to a larger sex difference in self-esteem during those years.
