Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the association between self-esteem and agreeableness in adolescents. Variables were scored by interpreting the results of a United States national survey and dividing agreeableness into the categories of self-reported, external, and total. Results of this study found that self-esteem is slightly negatively associated to overall agreeableness when both a participant’s view of their own agreeableness and evidence of their agreeableness through measurements of their interpersonal relationships are taken into account. When self-esteem is measured against each subcategory of agreeableness individually however, a different trend is seen. Self-esteem has a stronger negative association to self-reported agreeableness than total agreeableness, and has a positive association to externally judged agreeableness. When taking biological sex into account, it is seen that there is a difference in the associations between self-esteem and all three categories of agreeableness.
