Commentary on the Special Issue:The Maturing of Self-Esteem Research with Early AdolescentsSyracuse University The degree to which the eight contributions to the special issue clarify four concerns raised by DuBois and Hirsch is assessed. It is concluded that the contributions make moderate inroads in the areas of (a) delineating the importance of considering selfesteem to be multidimensional, (b) investigating bidirectional relations of self-esteem to other constructs, (c) linking self-esteem to other contributors to development, and (d) investigating negative as well as positive relations of self-esteem to adjustment. In addition, issues concerning the definition and measurement of self-esteem and the importance of research conducted with special populations to fill voids in knowledge are discussed.
