✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between tactile defensiveness and self-esteem in typical children attending a state school. Thirty-two children aged 8-11 were administered the Touch Inventory for Elementary School Aged Children to measure tactile defensiveness, and the Piers Harris Self Concept Scale to measure self-esteem. A Spearman rank order correlation coefficient revealed a negative correlation (-0.429) which was statistically significant (p=0.014). These findings suggest that there is an inverse relationship between selfesteem and behaviours associated with tactile defensiveness in elementary-schoolaged children. Continued research in this area is recommended.
