Abstract

The self-esteem impacts on all aspects of human existence. It controls workmanship, way of dealing with people, the progress and success rate, and how the relationships be created with spouse, children, parent, and friends. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-esteem of mothers and depression among male secondary school students in Zanjan in 2009- 2010. The sample was selected using cluster, stratified, and random sampling method (n=100). The Bag’s Depression Questionnaire and Coppersmith’s Self Esteem Questionnaire were used for measuring the depression in students and self-esteem in parents, respectively. The statistical analysis results showed that there was a significant relationship between selfesteem in mothers and depression in children. The students whose mothers had lower selfesteem suffered more from depression than students whose mothers had higher self-esteem.
