520 _aThis article discusses a study that compared the total self-esteem score and its component individual items and factors in two samples of New Zealand women. Two groups of women from Dunedin, one with no experience of childhood sexual abuse, and one who reported having experienced childhood sexual abuse, were randomly selected from the community. Psychosocial correlates of low self-esteem were also determined. A postal questionnaire and interview provided data for the investigation. The findings of the study show that psychosocial variables predicting low self-esteem were the same in the two groups. These included being a follower or a loner, having an over-controlling mother, being poorly qualified, giving a history of depressive disorder, and displaying current psychiatric disorder. Additionally, it was found that a participant's abuse status led to low self-esteem, but only when the abuse was intrusive.
