Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between self-esteem and self-control among women and men. Through convenient sampling, 433 students from the office of supreme leader's representative at universities were selected, and they completed self-esteem and Islamic self-control questionnaires. Data ,analyzed using Pearson correlation and Fisher's Z test, showed that there is a significant positive relationship between overall self-esteem and overall self-control and its components including motivation for self-control, self-monitoring, emotional-behavioral self-control, sexual self-control and goal-acceptance.
On the other hand, the difference in relationship between self-esteem and self-control among men and women is significant, but no significant difference was observed between married people compared to single ones. Therefore, with the increase of self-esteem we can expect an increase in people's self-control based on Islamic sources. In this regard, gender variable, unlike marital status, can also play a role
