These differences need to be explored and elucidated before drawing conclusions from a diverse sample size. A researcher would do well to investigate self-esteem among highly specific population samples to avoid confusion between variables.
Gender is an important variable to consider in self-esteem research. Girls and boys are socialized to express their self-esteem differently. Therefore, it would be nearly impossible to research self-esteem among a pre-adolescent population without taking gender into account. The ways girls express self-esteem will differ from the ways boys do, making it necessary to examine male and female populations separately. For the same reason, class and family background need to be taken into consideration as well as ethnicity and race.
Finally, the research questions related to self-esteem may pose problems....
Finding comparable subjects may require investigating the specific impacts of environmental stimuli on self-esteem. In this case, the definition of self-esteem would be defined absolutely so that the causal variables could be investigated. Other studies may require investigating differential manifestations of self-esteem among an adolescent population. This would require a number of data sources including self-reports and behavioral observations.
Pre-adolescents also change rapidly, due to social, psychological, and physiological factors. Their self-esteem can rise and fall from day-to-day. Such factors make it challenging to conduct research on any aspect of developmental psychology. Researchers need to be as detailed as possible when selecting their sample, when developing their research questions, and when presenting their data.

Theories on Career Counseling Selected theories Trait and Factor Theory Parsons, the theorist who developed the Trait and Factor theory, suggested that vocational support ought to be founded on three elements. Firstly, the individual, his/her personality, interests, abilities, resources, values, and ambitions must be clearly understood. According to Parsons, clinical interviews help glean this information. Secondly, knowledge regarding the sphere of work, including knowledge of each occupation's pros and cons, opportunities, requirements, and
