Background and Objectives: Self-esteem is an important factor in social and emotional adjustment. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between behavioral activation system and extraversion and self-esteem in students.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the statistical population included North Khorasan students in 2016. Out of 1400 people, 320 people were randomly selected based on Krejcie & Morgan table by convenience sampling and answered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory, Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire, and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression.
Results: The results showed that there is a relationship between behavioral activation system and extraversion and self-esteem (p<0.001). Also, the behavioral activation system and extraversion account for only 44% of students' self-esteem changes.
Conclusion: According to the results, it is suggested that students be identified and take preventive measures through interventions such as awareness, education and psychological evaluation of the degree of extraversion, and behavioral activation by counseling centers.
