作者利用达尼丁多学科健康与发展研究出生队列的前瞻性数据发现，与自尊心强的青少年相比，自尊心低的青少年在成年期的身心健康状况更差，经济前景更糟，犯罪行为的发生率更高。自尊心的长期影响无法用青少年时期的抑郁、性别或社会经济地位来解释。此外，当使用客观测量方法和知情人报告来评估结果变量时，这些发现依然成立；因此，这些发现不能用自我报告数据中的共同方法差异来解释。研究结果表明，青少年时期的低自尊预示着成年期在现实世界中的负面后果。
Using prospective data from the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study birth cohort, the authors found that adolescents with low self-esteem had poorer mental and physical health, worse economic prospects, and higher levels of criminal behavior during adulthood, compared with adolescents with high self-esteem. The long-term consequences of self-esteem Could not be explained by adolescent depression, gender, or socioeconomic status. Moreover, the findings held when the outcome variables were assessed using objective measures and informant reports; therefore, the findings cannot be explained by shared method variance in self-report data. The findings suggest that low self-esteem during adolescence predicts negative real-world consequences during adulthood.
