A positive relationship means that as one variable (in this case, sports activity) increases, the other variable (self-esteem) also increases. Therefore, if self-esteem is higher among children who are more active in sports, it indicates a positive relationship. The other options are not applicable as there is no indication of a negative or curvilinear relationship, and we cannot assume causation without further research.
