The correct statement is D) The self-esteem of males and females converged in their 70s and 80s. This finding was supported by the Robins et al. (2002) study which found that although males had slightly higher self-esteem than females in early adulthood, this difference disappeared by the time participants reached their 60s and 70s. In fact, the study found that males and females had similar levels of self-esteem in their 70s and 80s. The other statements are not supported by the research findings.
