Which of the following is NOT a type of self-esteem which develops in the children by the age of 6 to 7 years?

Options:

academic competence

physical competence

social comepetnce

cognitive competence

Correct Answer:

cognitive competence

Explanation:

Studies indicate that by the age of 6 to 7 years, children seem to have formed selfesteem at least in four areas: academic competence, social competence, physical/ athletic competence, and physical appearance, which become more refined with age. Our capacity to view ourselves in terms of stable dispositions permits us to combine separate self-evaluations into a general psychological image of ourselves. This is known as an overall sense of selfesteem.
