The Confidence Collapse and Why It Matters for the Next GenERATION
In partnership with The Confidence Code for Girls, Ypulse conducted a nationwide quantitative online survey of 1394 8-18-year-olds and their parents/guardians. Participants were recruited from Ypulse’s proprietary SurveyU community. The survey was fielded between 2/8/18 and 2/13/18.
We uncovered some dramatic findings...
Between ages 8 and 14, girls’ confidence levels drop by 30%.
Between their tween and teen years, girls’ confidence that other people like them falls from 71% to 38% — a 46% drop.
More than half of teen girls feel pressure to be perfect.
3 in 4 teen girls worry about failing.
Between ages 12 and 13, the percentage of girls who say they’re not allowed to fail increases by 150%.
Nearly 8 in 10 girls want to feel more confident in themselves.
