Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale: Method Effect and Gender Invariance

Measurement invariance of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale between British and Chinese college students

Further Support for Multidimensionality Within the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

Although the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale is one of the most widely used measures of global self esteem, the underlying measurement structure of the items is still debated. In this study the dimensionality of a six item version of the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale included in the National Population Health Survey of Canada was examined using nested confirmatory factor analyses. The results indicat...

Factor Structure of the Rosenberg Self - Esteem Scale

This study evaluated the factor structure of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) with a diverse sample of 1,248 European American, Latino, Armenian, and Iranian adolescents. Adolescents completed the 10-item RSES during school as part of a larger study on parental influences and academic outcomes. Findings suggested that method effects in the RSES are more strongly associated with negatively...

Item-wording and the dimensionality of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale: do they matter?

Some researchers contend that the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale taps two dimensions of self-image, whereas others argue that the two dimensions (positive and negative) are merely an artifact of item wording. To directly test these competing views, we had 741 ethnically diverse university undergraduates take one of three versions of the 10-item Rosenberg Scale: the original version comprised of fi...
