Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Past research indicates that black adolescents consistently have higher self-esteem than white students. Other research demonstrates that self-esteem has positive effects on academic achievement. However, black students have lower academic achievement than white students while concurrently exhibiting higher self-esteem. This paper seeks to speak to this contradiction by examining the impact that contact with non-parental adults has on the self-esteem of adolescent black and white eighth-grade students. Specifically, it addresses three sets of questions: how contact affects students’ self-esteem; how contact affects black and white students differently; how contact affects black and white students given different racial composition in schools. Regression results indicate that non-parental contact has a significant effect on self-esteem for both black and white adolescents. Furthermore, although racial/ethnic effects still appear in the data, structural factors (in this case school racial/ethnic composition) provide further explanation into processes determining self-esteem for adolescents.
