This paper examined development of self during the transition from elementary school to junior high school by analyzing cross-sectional and longitudinal data on self esteem. More than fifteen thousand students from 4th grade in elementary school to 3rd grade in junior high school completed a sheet of questionnaire during 2000-2003 academic years. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal data analysis showed self-esteem gradually declined with grade. Longitudinal data analysis showed that self-esteem of three cohorts increased between the final term of 6th grade in elementary school (Time 1) to the first term of 1st grade in junior high school (Time 2). The participants who completed questionnaire both in Time 1 and Time 2 were categorized into three groups according to their self rating score of self-esteem at Time 1 and Time 2 : (a) self-esteem decreased at Time 2 as compared with Time 1 (SE-down group), (b) self-esteem were equal both Time 1 and Time 2 (SE-stable group), and (c) self-esteem increased at Time 2 as compared with Time 1 (SE-up group). In SE-down group, the extent of understanding school subjects and hope for the future decreased at Time 2, and feeling of daily malaise and emptiness increased. In SE-up group, the extent of understanding school subjects increased at Time 2 and feeling of daily malaise and emptiness decreased. The findings are discussed in relation to school education.
