En el marco teórico de un concepto de la autoestima como conjunto global de esquemas evaluativos que el sujeto tiene acerca de sí mismo, se han investigado diferentes relaciones, causales y de asociación, entre la autoestima y otras variables. La investigación se ha desarrollado en trece estudios distintos, con sendos grupos de sujetos adolescentes, en cinco diseños diferentes, unos correlaciónales y otros de naturaleza cuasi-experimental. Principalmente en estos últimos ha aparecido que la autoestima es dependiente de ciertos acontecimientos significativos introducidos o controlados por el investigador. Pese a ello, sin embargo, la autoestima se ha mostrado como relativamente estable a través del tiempo, a la vez que internamente consistente, habiéndose hallado correlaciones significativas entre las mediciones de la misma con distintos instrumentos y en distintos momentos.
