The self-esteem construct is usuall

The self-esteem construct is usually conceptualized as a hierarchical phenomenon. As
such, it exists at different levels of specificity, commonly seen in terms of global, and task
or situation-specific self-esteem (Simpson & Boyle, 1975). As a multifaceted conceptualization
of the self, scholars (e.g., Korman, 1970; Shavelson, Hubner & Stanton, 1976)
generally agree that self-esteem may also develop around a number of other dimensions
(e.g., the social, physical, academic, and moral-self).
