Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper will look at the effect of self-esteem on students' performance in online programming competitions. The competition was conducted in a hackerrank platform with 4 rounds in total. On each round, there was a set of general questions such as age, gender, etc., but also self-esteem related questions to evaluate how much self-esteem a person has. Correlation between self-esteem and results of each round on average was calculated. The average obtained correlation was around -0.11. Based on the results, the conclusion was that the correlation is slightly low and negative which claims that too high self-esteem can result in low results in online programming competitions across students.
