Abstract
In this paper it is examined how the girls’ school effect on stress levels might be explained by pupils’ self-esteem. Use was made of data concerning 6427 third-year pupils from 68 secondary schools in Belgium (Flanders) - 25 coeducational, 21 girls’ and 22 boys’ schools. A multilevel analysis (Hierarchical Linear Modeling) was performed adjusting for socio-economic status, academic performance, curriculum enrollment, school mean socio-economic status and self-esteem. Results indicate that the fact that early adolescent girls in single-sex schools tend to experience lower levels of stress than their coeducational counterparts, can partially be accounted for by self-esteem.
