<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale''' (RSES) (Rosenberg 1965) is a ten item, Gutman style, unidimensional measure of self-esteem that has shown high reliability and validity (Gray-Little, Williams, and Hancock, 1997; Robins, Hendin, and Trzesniewski, 2001). Scale items are reproduced below. Robins et. al suggest a five item Likert ranging from 1 (not very true of me) to 5 (very true of me). It is scored via a 4-point Likert scale with responses ranging from ''Strongly Agree'' to ''Strongly Disagree.'' <br />
<br />
*1. I feel that I am a person of worth, at least on an equal plane with others. <br />
*2. I feel that I have a number of good qualities.. <br />
*3. All in all, I am inclined to feel that I am a failure. <br />
*4. I am able to do things as well as most other people. <br />
*5. I feel I do not have much to be proud of. <br />
*6. I take a positive attitude toward myself. <br />
*7. On the whole, I am satisfied with myself. <br />
*8. I wish I could have more respect for myself. <br />
*9. I certainly feel useless at times. <br />
*10.At times I think I am no good at all. <br />
<br />
Robins, Hendin, and Trzesnieski (2001) suggest that the RSES may be usefully replaced by their own Single Item Self Esteem (SISE) scale which they demonstrate has high [[Convergent Validity]] with the RSES. The single item from the SISE is "I have high self esteem." This item is scored using a five point Likert ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). <br />
