Abstract: | Self-talk, irrational beliefs, self-esteem and depression were measured in a sample of 105 elementary school children in Grades
4 to 7. Sex and grade differences in positive self-talk were found. The pattern of correlation coefficients for positive self-talk
supported the substantive position that positive self-talk is positively related to self-esteem and negatively related to
irrational beliefs and depression in a non-clinical sample of children. However, the same support was not forthcoming for
the reverse relationships for negative self-talk. Therapeutic implications are outlined as are suggestions for future research
in the area of children's self-talk. |
