Adolescent Self-Esteem and Parenting Styles Survey in Urban Nepal

Nepal-based survey data from 343 adolescent students in grades 9 and 10 from Tokha municipality, collected via probability sampling. The dataset includes assessments of self-esteem and perceived parenting styles using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Perceived Parenting Style Scale. It was created by Pratibha Bhandari and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between parenting styles and adolescent self-esteem based on survey scale scores.
• Investigating socio-demographic factors associated with low self-esteem based on school type and parental education.
• Building regression models to predict low self-esteem risk based on age, school type, and father's education level.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 343 survey responses from a defined population of adolescent students.
• Key findings are quantified, such as a 16.3% prevalence of low self-esteem and specific correlation coefficients (e.g., r=0.33 for authoritative parenting).
• Analysis includes multivariable logistic regression results with adjusted odds ratios and confidence intervals (e.g., aOR: 3.8 for father's education).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The study authors note limitations including lack of rural representativeness and potential social desirability bias.
