It was found no statistically significant relationship between self-esteem and intelligence. In addition, although there was a statistically significant relationship between intelligence and academic achievement, the relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement was not statistically significant.

Bu araştırmada, benlik saygısı ile zekâ ve akademik başarı arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Ergenlik dönemindeki 127 öğrenciyle yapılan bu araştırmada, verilerin toplanması için Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği, Raven Standart Progresif Matrisler Plus Testi ve öğrencilerin akademik not ortalamaları kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, benlik saygısı ve zekâ arasında anlamlı bir ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır. Bunun yanında, zekâ ve akademik başarı arasında yüksek bir ilişki bulunmasına rağmen, benlik saygısı ve akademik başarı arasındaki ilişkinin anlamlı olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca benlik saygısı, öğrencilerin zekâ düzeylerine göre de farklılaşmamaktadır. Fakat farklı akademik başarıya sahip öğrenci gruplarında benlik saygısının farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar eğitimciler ve ebeveynler için önemli eğitimsel çıkarımlar ortaya koymuştur.
