Black Consciousness and Self-Esteem

Lawrence N. Houston

Rutgers University

The literature on self-esteem among Blacks has indicated conflicting and inconclusive results, and there has been little attempt to assess the possible relationship between measured self-esteem and measured Black consciousness. The present research used the Draw-A-Person Test (DAP) as a non- phenomenological measure of self-esteem, the Janis-Field Feeling of Inadequacy Scale (JF) as a phenomenological measure of self-esteem, and the Banks Black Consciousness Survey (BCS). Results showed that for males and females BCS did not correlate with DAP. The correlation between BCS and JF was slightly negative for males and nil for females. A factorial analysis of variance revealed that males and older students scored higher on BCS, but there were no differences among college majors and no interaction effects. On the JF, males showed higher self-esteem than females and students majoring in the social sciences were highest among the majors. The DAP showed no significant differ ences whatever.
