Self-esteem, Rosenberg Scale, Neuro Linguistic Programming, NLP, LearningAbstract
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a cognitive constructivist approach to improving human communication and behaviour, which focuses on how people organise their thoughts, feelings and language. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of an NLP course on self-esteem. A quasi-experimental, controlled study with pre-post measures was designed. A total of 54 subjects participated (21 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group). Self-esteem was measured using an ad-hoc questionnaire (8 items, the first 6 of which were adapted from the Rosenberg scale). The experimental group showed increases in self-esteem in all 8 items compared to the control group, and in 6 items (5 of them adapted from the Rosenberg scale) the differences were statistically significant. The percentage change between the two groups ranged from 11% to 36%. This study provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness and usefulness of NLP in increasing people's self-esteem. It also describes various applications of NLP and various implications of self-esteem enhancement in learning and education, as well as in other aspects of people's personal and professional lives.
