Underachieving male high school students were involved in a 3-wk. survival training experience designed to raise (a) self-esteem, (b) evaluation of parents, and (c) evaluation of friends. A semantic differential administered in a pre- and posttest design indicated a significant increase in self-esteem and evaluation of parents.
