This study examines the relationship between young boxers’ perceptions of self-esteem and their personal and social responsibility. The participants consist of two hundred and seventeen young male boxers. They completed both a 4-point Likert-type questionnaire assessing their self esteem and a 6-point Likert-type questionnaire assessing their personal and social responsibility. Results of the study revealed that young boxers were more likely to report higher levels of self-esteem and personal responsibility and social responsibility. Simple correlation and multiple reggression analyses revealed young boxers’ self-esteem was positively related to their personal and social responsibility. This finding results reinforce the view that people who appreciate themselves and have a sense of personal empowerment will improve their personal and social responsible behaviors.
