Abstract

This research is meant to observe the relationship between Income and self-esteem through naturalistic observation. The observation will occur in a coffee shop. Participants will be observed for around a minute and thirty seconds. In that time researcher will track how much they spend in the coffee shop to measure income. The researcher will also track the confidence in their voice, their posture, and how long they keep eye contact to measure self-esteem. It is expected that a higher income will positively correlate with a higher level of self-esteem.
