Table 2.0 displays the results of the Independent Sample t -test comparing the mean differences
in self - esteem between genders. There was a significant mean difference in self-esteem
between males (M=27.74, SD = 3.74) and females (M=23.44, SD = 3.41). t (98) = -4.32, p <
.001, d =1.29. The Cohen’s d of 1.29 indicated a large effect size.

The mean differences in self-esteem between genders were analyzed by the Independent
Sample t -test. As shown in table 2.0, there was a significant mean difference in self-esteem
between males (M=27.74, SD = 3.74) and females (M=23.44, SD = 3.41). t (98) = -4.32, p <
.001, d =1.29. The Cohen’s d of 1.29 indicated a large effect size.

Table 4.0 shows the results of Pearson correlation coefficient between self-esteem and
materialism among all the participants. There is a significant weak negative relationship
between self-esteem and materialism, r (98) = - .15, p < .01, r2 =.02. This indicates that selfesteem is inversely related to materialism. The effect size (r=.15) is small. 2% of the variance
in materialism can be explained by self-esteem.

The association between gender and CGPA category was analyzed using a Chi-square test.
Table 4.0 shows that there is no significant association between gender and CGPA category,
𝜒 2 (2, N =105) =.42, p > .07, Crammer’s V =.06. The effect size is small.
