Culture makes an important role on psychological developments and functions. In particular, the development and enhancement of self-esteem have been influenced by the prevalent cultural characteristics in the context. The improvement of our self-esteem could relate the value of the context we live. This study examined the 4 cultural characteristics (horizontal-vertical/individualism-collectivism) from the college students in Korea and U.S., and then looked into the correlation between self-esteem and cultural characteristics. 224 Korean and 230 American college students were participated in this study. The findings demonstrated both countries showed (1) that horizontal-individualism and horizontal-collectivism had higher scores than vertical things; (2) that significant correlations between self-esteem and two horizontal factors were found; (3) that SEM from each country was confirmed appropriate goodness-of-fit structures. Research findings would enhance the understanding of self-esteem concepts and provide various perspectives of the relations between culture and self-esteem.
