Investigating validity, reliability and measurement invariance of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale: a comparison study.
The purpose of this study is twofold: (a) to examine validity and reliability of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) using four competing factorial models (b) to assess measurement invariance across gender with a sample of college students in Turkey. Confirmatory and multigroup confirmatory facto...

Confirmatory and multigroup confirmatory factor analyses were used to analyse the data from 291 college students. The results indicated that a two-factor correlated model (i.e., positive self-esteem and negative self-esteem) provided a better fit for the data than the previously validated the other three competing models. In contrast to the first factor (self-esteem positive), the second factor (self-esteem negative) was significantly associated with psychological well-being. Both of the factors had strong internal consistency reliabilities. Also, the RSES had measurement invariance across gender. Overall, the RSES is a valid and reliable self-assessment tool that can be used to assess self-esteem and develop self-esteem-related interventions for college students. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
