TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the construct validity of two global self-esteem measures, the Single-Item Self-Esteem Scale (SISE) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE), and found that the SISE had strong convergent validity for men and women, for different ethnic groups, and for both college students and community members.
Abstract: Four studies examined the construct validity of two global self-esteem measures. In Studies 1 through 3, the Single-Item Self-Esteem Scale (SISE) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) showed strong convergent validity for men and women, for different ethnic groups, and for both college students and community members. The SISE and the RSE had nearly identical correlations with a wide range of criterion measures, including domain-specific self-evaluations, self-evaluative biases, social desirability, personality, psychological and physical health, peer ratings of group behavior, academic outcomes, and demographic variables. Study 4 showed that the SISE had only moderate convergent validity in a sample of children. Overall, the findings support the reliability and validity of the SISE and suggest it can provide a practical alternative to the RSE in adult samples. More generally, the findings contribute to the research literature by further elaborating the nomological network of global self-esteem.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest the existence of a global self-esteem factor underlying responses to the self-report scale, although the inclusion of method effects is needed to achieve a good model fit.
Abstract: Self‐esteem is one of the most studied constructs in psychology. It has been measured with a variety of methods and instruments. Although Rosenberg's (1965) self‐report scale is one of the most widely used, empirical evidence on factor validity of this scale is somewhat contradictory, with either 1 or 2 factors. The results of this study suggest the existence of a global self‐esteem factor underlying responses to the scale, although the inclusion of method effects is needed to achieve a good model fit.

TL;DR: In this article, a factor analysis of responses to Rosenberg's 10-item self-esteem scale by 1,332 older men living in small communities suggested this was not a unidimensional scale.
Abstract: Further factor analysis of responses to Rosenberg's 10-item self-esteem scale by 1,332 older men living in small communities suggested this was not a unidimensional scale.

TL;DR: A confirmatory analytic study of the Bachman Revision (1970) of Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (1965) that was used in the Australian Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ALSA) indicates that usefulness/competence may be an important predictor of well-being.
Abstract: This article reports on a confirmatory analytic study of the Bachman revision (1970) of Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (1965) that was used in the Australian Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ALSA). Participants comprised 1,087 elderly people aged between 70 and 103 years (mean 77 years). Five competing factor models were tested with LISREL8. The best-fitting model was a nested one, with a General Self-esteem second-order factor and two firstorder factors, Positive Self-regard and Usefulness/Competence. This model was validated with data from a later wave of ALSA. Usefulness and competence have received little attention in the gerontological literature to date. Preliminary results indicate that usefulness/competence may be an important predictor of well-being. Further work is required on the relationships among usefulness, competence, self-esteem, and well-being in elderly people.

TL;DR: The VASES is a short and easy to administer measure of self-esteem that possesses good psychometric properties and is demonstrated to have good internal reliability among aphasic speakers.
Abstract: Objectives. To develop a visual analogue measure of self-esteem and test its psychometric properties. Design. Two correlational studies involving samples of university students and aphasic speakers.
Method. Two hundred and forty-three university students completed multiple measures of self-esteem, depression and anxiety as well as measures of transitory mood and social desirability (Study 1). Two samples of aphasic speakers (N = 14 and N = 20) completed the Visual Analogue Self-Esteem Scale (VASES), the Rosenberg (1965) self-esteem scale and measures of depression and anxiety. (Study 2).
Results. Study 1 found evidence of good internal and test-retest reliability, construct validity and convergent and discriminant validity for a 10-item VASES. Study 2 demonstrated good internal reliability among aphasic speakers.
Conclusion. The VASES is a short and easy to administer measure of self-esteem that possesses good psychometric properties.
