Abstract

The Value Systems and self-Esteem are two factors of mental and social health. This research aimed to investigate the relationship between parents value and interests and Self-Esteem of students. 212 male and female adolescents were tested by Coopersmit self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) and 212 parents of the same students were tested based on Alport, Venon and Lindzey. Analysis of data (Pearson’s correlation, Regression analysis ) demonstrates a significant correlation between some of the dimentions of parents value interests (Just Mothers) and Student’s self-Esteem. Social intrest values of mothers were negatively correlated with Studen’s self-Esteem. Effects of value interests of parent on student's Self-Esteem were different.
