Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to compare self-esteem of orphan children with parental care children. The subjects for the study were 200 orphan children and 200 parental care children. The test item selected for this was “Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale” by Rosenberg. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 and 0.01 level. A calculated P value less than 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant. In all the statistical tests, level of significance was fixed at 1% or 5%. If the calculated test statistic is greater than the 1% or 5% critical value obtained from statistical table, there is statistically significant effect or alternatively if calculated P-value (a small P-value impels that the mean difference is highly significant) is less than 0.01 or 0.05 then the mean difference is significant at 1% or 5% level. All statistical analysis was carried out with the help of statistical package SPSS 16.0 for windows.
