As a school psychologist aiming to improve the median self-esteem score of children in the school, I would work the hardest on those with the lowest self-esteem scores (i). This is because by targeting those with the lowest scores, I would have the potential to make the largest impact on raising the overall median self-esteem score of the school. Additionally, research suggests that individuals with lower self-esteem tend to benefit more from interventions aimed at boosting self-esteem. By focusing on these students, I could help improve the well-being and self-perception of those who may need it the most.

Among the students with the lowest self-esteem scores, the student with the lowest score would be the one who is struggling the most with their self-esteem. This student may exhibit behaviors such as low self-confidence, feelings of worthlessness, social withdrawal, or difficulty handling criticism or failure. They may also exhibit signs of depression or anxiety. By identifying and working with the student with the lowest self-esteem score, a school psychologist can provide targeted support and interventions to help improve their self-esteem and overall mental well-being.
