    Abstract
    The study provided a quantitative review among measures of self-esteem, coping strategies and peer relationships for both dyslexic and non-dyslexic participants. A total of 46 dyslexic and 59 non-dyslexic participants took part in the study. A combination of measures was used including Bartholomew & Horowitz’s Relationship Questionnaire (1991), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) and the Brief Cope. The results indicated a significant finding among dyslexic and non-dyslexic with secure relationships. The results also indicated that maladaptive coping is strong predictor for self-esteem. No significance of early diagnosis of dyslexia among self-esteem levels was found. Furthermore, the study indicated no significance difference between dyslexic and non-dyslexic participants among self-esteem and peer relationships according to gender.
