The Present research was conducted with the purpose to examine the
relationship between self-esteem, collective self-esteem and depression.
Another objective was to study the contribution of self-esteem and
collective self-esteem in predicting depression. It was hypothesized that:
there is a positive relationship between self-esteem and collective selfesteem; there is negative relationship between collective self-esteem and
depression; lack of self esteem and collective self-esteem are predictors
of depression. Beck Depression Inventory (1996), Rosenberg Self-esteem
Inventory (1985) and Collective Self-esteem Inventory (Luhtanen &
Crocker, 1992) were used to measure depression, self-esteem and
collective self-esteem respectively. Study was carried out on 200
participants ranging in ages between 17-23 years. Results showed
significant positive relationship between self-esteem and collective selfesteem; significant negative relationship between self-esteem and
depression. Collective self-esteem was significant predictor of
depression. The Present research implies that an optimum level of selfesteem and high collective self-esteem individual is important to help
reduce depression and enhance the positive aspect of personality.
