DeHart,Pelham, and Tennen tested out their theory to see if there is a correlation between parental interactions and self esteem.

As a result of the experiment, those who have a positive interaction with their parents had higher self esteem.(DeHart,Pelham, and Tennen fig.1) As children grow older, “current beliefs and feelings about the self could tarnish their reports of their childhood experiences with their parents.” (DeHart, Pelham,Tennen
