Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale ( RSES ) is a psychological questionnaire for measuring a person's self-worth through self- assessment . The English version of the questionnaire was developed by Morris Rosenberg in 1965. He published the questionnaire in his work entitled Society and the Adolescent Self-Image .

The German adaptation was made by Collani and Herzberg in 2003. The test consists of ten questions and values ​​between 1 and 4 can be assigned as the answer. These answers are added to a total value that can be between 10 and 40. Usually one assumes a one-dimensional structure of the questionnaire, whereby it is discussed whether the questionnaire does not represent a two-dimensional construct of self-worth.

Another questionnaire for measuring self-worth is the multidimensional self-worth scale .
