Abstract
We investigated the longitudinal association between self-esteem and depressive symptoms using a method which is able to analyze both between- and within-person associations: the Random-Intercept Cross-lagged Panel Model (RI-CLPM). Aggregated over three adolescent samples, we show small within-person associations from self-esteem to depressive symptoms but not the other way around.
