Abstract
I assess role of gender, discrimination, and distress on self-esteem. General education courses were used to conduct a quantitative survey among 308 students. Being female was associated with lower self-esteem and while psychological distress and self-esteem were related, a higher burden was noted among females when it came to overall self-worth while self-satisfaction was low among males with such distress. Discrimination was significantly related to low self-esteem among males, but not females. Conclusion: Gender-specific self-esteem coaching is needed among college students.
