Abstract: Explicit self-esteem has remained an active research topic in both the areas of explicit social cognition and self-esteem in recent decades. The purpose of this study was to explore the development of explicit self-esteem in later adulthood. A total of 40 Teachers of Physical Education from across Kerala, participated in the study. They ranged in age from 30 to 45 years with a mean age of 40.11(SD = 4.84). The degree of explicit self-esteem was assessed using Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Questionnaire. Participants completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The simple correlation between explicit self-esteem and age was not significant, r = −.119. Explicit self-esteem manifested a reverse “U” shape throughout adolescence.
