Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to measure the impact of an online intervention on students' self-esteem, using the model outlined by Melanie Fennell.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to test the level of students' self-esteem (explicit and implicit) before and after an online intervention. All selected participants will enjoy one of the online working groups led by a psychologist for five weeks. In these group sessions, students will be trained to identify how their low self-esteem was developed, what are those factors that maintain their low self-esteem and what can they do for improving their low self-esteem, using Fennell model.

Primary Outcomes
Changes in Rosenberg's Self Esteem Scale
Time Frame: Change from Pre- to Post-Intervention (5 weeks)
Rosenberg's Self Esteem Scale is a self-esteem measure widely used in social-science research. It is a ten-item likert-type scale with items answered on a four-point scale-from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The scale measures global self-worth by measuring both positive and negative feelings about the self. The minimum score of Rosenberg's Self Esteem Scale is 10 and the highest one is 40. A higher score means a better outcome.
