 Researchers also have examined mean-level change in self-esteem across early adolescence. Research shows that early adolescents' self-esteem is lowest immediately after the transition into junior high school in seventh grade, but it increases during students' seventh-grade year (Wigfield, Eccles, Mac Iver, Reuman, & Midgley, 1991). Blyth, Simmons, and Carlton-Ford (1983) found that for most, self-esteem scores increase across middle adolescence (see also O'Malley & Bachman, 1983). An important implication of this work for school counselors is that self-esteem may be most vulnerable during the early phase of middle school. This seems to be particularly true for early adolescents experiencing several transitions, such as puberty, school change, and changes in family and peer relations (Eccles, 2004). Development of the self-system takes center stage during adolescence (see Harter, 1999, for review). Because the different terms in this literature often are used [|interchangeably] INTERCHANGEABLY. Formerly when deeds of land were made, where there Were covenants to be performed on both sides, it was usual to make two deeds exactly similar to each other, and to exchange them; in the attesting clause, the words, In witness whereof the parties have hereunto, we begin this section by defining the major terms. Self-concept is individuals' beliefs about and evaluations of their characteristics, roles, abilities, and relationships. Self-esteem is the individual's sense of his or her overall worth or value as a person. Identity is a term broader than either self-concept or self-esteem, referring to individuals' general sense of themselves and their psychological reality that includes many different beliefs and attitudes about the self (Wigfield & Wagner, 2005). In this article, we discuss early adolescents' development in different areas and its implications for how school counselors work with early adolescents. We begin with a discussion of the major physical, cognitive, sell; mad motivational changes that early adolescents experience. Next we discuss early adolescents' relations with peers, teachers, and counselors. We conclude with a discussion of research on the effectiveness of different counseling programs for early adolescents, and we consider recent calls for reconceptualizing middle school counselors' roles for them to be able to work more effectively with early adolescents.
