Abstract :

The current study attempted to find out the self-esteem of adult Kukis of Churachandpur district of Manipur. Altogether 100 adults in the age-group 46-80 years participated in the study. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) was employed to assess the self-esteem of the adult. The results of the study indicated that the adult Kukis had low self-esteem (mean=15.18; s.d. =6.67) and t-test (calculated t-value=-0.24) results showed that there was no significant difference on self-esteem scores between male (mean=15.72; s.d. =3.19) and female (mean=15.88; s.d.=3.01). t-test between educated (mean=16.4; s.d. =3.39) and uneducated (mean=13.6; s.d.=3.33) was found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance (t-value=4.60); and young adults (mean=16.30; s.d.=3.40) as compared to old adults (mean=12.84; s.d.=3.76) was found to be in better position with t-value statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance (t-value=38.65). Limitations and suggestions for further research were also made.
