The relationship between social self-esteem and family functioning in college-aged young adults was investigated. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify family variables predictive of social self-esteem. High levels of family cohesion and number of siblings significantly predicted strong social selfesteem. Family adaptability, amount of time left in the care of others during childhood, birth order, and gender were nonsignificant predictors. As the sample was predominantly female, these findings are reviewed within the context of feminist family therapy, and indications for counseling young women are discussed.
