83% Informative

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale is a quick and reliable way for us to assess our self-esteem.

By answering 10 simple questions and adding up our scores, we can get a sense of how we feel about ourselves.

The questionnaire assigns points to each response to each statement.

A higher total score indicates higher self esteem, while lower scores suggest lower self esteem.

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale is one of the most widely used measures of self-esteem.

The scale has been used in psychological research because it can predict various psychological outcomes.

It has been translated into over 28 languages, in 53 countries, and can be modified for any purpose.

It is short and straightforward, making it easy to administer and interpret.

The scale does not account for domain-specific self-esteem, which means we may feel more or less confident about ourselves in specific areas like academic ability, social skills, or physical appearance.

The scale was developed in the United States and has been widely used across different cultures.
