Data came from the Americans&rsquo; Changing Lives study, which includes 4 assessments across a 16-year period of a nationally representative sample of 3,617 individuals aged 25 years to 104 years.<strong> Latent growth curve analyses indicated that self-esteem follows a quadratic trajectory across the adult life span, increasing during young and middle adulthood, reaching a peak at about age 60 years,<\/strong> and then declining in old age. No cohort differences in the self-esteem trajectory were found. Women had lower self-esteem than did men in young adulthood, but their trajectories converged in old age. Whites and Blacks had similar trajectories in young and middle adulthood, but the self-esteem of Blacks declined more sharply in old age than did the self-esteem of Whites. More educated individuals had higher self-esteem than did less educated individuals, but their trajectories were similar. Moreover, the results suggested that changes in socioeconomic status and physical health account for the decline in self-esteem that occurs in old age<\/p><\/blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3357\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/45c5f_selfest-300x197.png\" alt=\"selfest\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\">As a person well under 60 but slowing walking in that direction I&rsquo;m pretty heartened by this.
