dc.description.abstract | The study focused on the relationship between Child Abuse, Self Esteem and Academic
Performance among Adolescents in Uganda. It was carried out in Makerere Highway Senior
Secondary School where a total of 130 adolescents were interviewed. The study undertook a
correctional research design. It was found that there is indeed a negative significant relationship
between Child abuse and academic performance. This goes to show that school going adolescents
who have not undergone child abuse will have a better academic performance as compared to those
adolescents who have undergone child abuse. The findings of the study have further showed that
there is a negative significant relationship between Child abuse and self-esteem among school
going adolescents. This has shown that adolescents who are undergoing child abuse will have low
self-esteem while those adolescents who have not undergone child abuse have high self-esteem.
Lastly the findings further indicated that there is a positive significant relationship between selfesteem and academic performance. Adolescents with high self-esteem will perform better than
those with low self-esteem. | en_US |
