ABSTRACT: The
current study investigates how stress and self-esteem interact in a wide range
of levels. Studying the recent literature of the last five years, we understood
that the findings indicated that self-esteem affected stress and it was
affected from stress. This interaction takes place in different levels,
including personal, psychological and professional parameters. These findings
point out the importance of this interaction and the necessity of use of some
stress management techniques which can not only reduce stress, but also improve
self-esteem. As a result, the purpose of this literature review is to examine
the connection between stress and self-esteem and to use this knowledge in
order to reduce stress, improve self-esteem and as a result eliminate
psychological disorders and ameliorate the quality of people’s life.
