Abstract

本研究では,メタ分析によって日本人の自尊感情の性差を検討した。また,性差の程度に影響を与える調整変数として,年齢段階,調査年,翻訳種の効果を検討した。包括的なレビューを通して,Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scaleを用いて日本人の男女ごとの自尊感情を測定している研究を検索した。検索の結果,1982年から2013年に発表された50研究を収集した。収集された研究をもとに効果量を推定したところ,その値は g =.17 (Hedgesの g)であり,女性よりもわずかに男性の方が高かった。また,調整変数については,年齢段階と調査年によって,自尊感情の性差の程度が異なっていた。本研究の知見は,日本人における自尊感情の性差について論じるための実証的な基盤となり得るものである。 This meta-analysis examined gender differences in self-esteem reported in Japanese research studies. The moderating effects of the ages of the participants in the samples, the years when the research studies were conducted, and the types of translation were also examined. Studies that measured self-esteem of Japanese participants, analyzed by gender, using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were searched via a comprehensive literature review. Fifty studies published from 1982 to 2013 were collected. The estimated population effect size (Hedges's g) was .17, indicating that males scored slightly higher in self-esteem than females. Analyses of moderating variables revealed that the effect sizes varied according to the ages of the participants and the years when the research studies were conducted. These findings provide an empirical basis for discussion of gender differences in self-esteem among Japanese people.
