Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the self-esteem of disadvantaged, artistically talented and disadvantaged, non-artistically talented students in grades four, five, and six.The talented students were receiving special programming in a specific area of the arts.The Culture-Free Self-Esteem Inventories-3rd (CFSEI-3) was used to assess the different domains of self-esteem.The study had four placement levels and two assessment times.Results were analyzed using independent sample t tests, mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA), as well as a chi-square test.The talented students receiving both years of arts intervention, showed significantly higher levels of self-esteem than the non-talented students at both Time 1 and Time 2. There were no significant changes in self-esteem across time, as a function of placement level.This group of talented students also had slightly higher than average self-esteem compared with published norms for the CFSEI-3.
