Dimensionality and norms of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale in a German general population sample.
European Journal of Psychological Assessment, 2008Co-Authors: Marcus Roth, Oliver Decker, Philipp Yorck Herzberg, Elmar BrählerAbstract:This study analyzed the dimensionality of the German version of Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) in a nationally representative population sample of 4,988 subjects (46.4% males; aged 14–92 years). Using confirmatory factor analysis, one- and two-dimensional models were tested. Results suggest that the RSES is a two-dimensional Scale comprising the highly correlated components positive and negative self-evaluation, which constitute a unitary construct of global Self-Esteem at the second-order level. In order to obtain a more conclusive solution, an item response theory (IRT) analysis (partial credit model) was conducted. Results lend support to a one-dimensional view of the RSES. Furthermore, psychometric properties and norm values based on the representative sample are reported. Analyses revealed extremely high response probabilities for all items, as a consequence of which Self-Esteem cannot be differentiated at the upper end of the range.

Reliability and validity of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale among university students of Bangladesh
International Journal of Society Systems Science, 2019Co-Authors: Sayeed Akhter, Rehnuma FerdousAbstract:The aims of the present study were to translate the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale into Bengali language, and to examine the reliability and validity of Bengali version of the Scale. The Scale was completed by a sample of 232 Bangladeshi university students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a single-factorial structure of the Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the one-factor solution provides the best fit. The Bengali version of the Scale also indicated adequate concurrent validity. Furthermore, the Scale showed satisfactory levels of internal consistency and temporal stability over a three-week period. In addition, gender differences were identified, male students were found to score higher than females. To conclude, these findings provided empirical support for the Bengali version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to measure global Self-Esteem of Bangladeshi university students.

Correlates of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Method Effects.
Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006Co-Authors: Lena C. Quilty, Jonathan M. Oakman, Evan F. RiskoAbstract:Investigators of personality assessment are becoming aware that using positively and negatively worded items in questionnaires to prevent acquiescence may negatively impact construct validity. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) has demonstrated a bifactorial structure typically proposed to result from these method effects. Recent work suggests that these method effects may have substantive meaning. These studies examined the relation between method effects associated with positively and negatively worded items in the RSES and primary, broad personality constructs: approach and avoidance motivation and the "Big Five" (emotional stability, extraversion, intellect, agreeableness, and conscientiousness). A series of confirmatory factor analyses revealed that method effects are required in the measurement model of Self-Esteem and are related to important personality constructs.

The Effect of Surgical Treatment on the Quality of Life of Young Women with Breast Asymmetry: A Longitudinal, Cohort Study.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2020Co-Authors: Laura C. Nuzzi, Joseph M. Firriolo, Carolyn M. Pike, Felecia Cerrato, Amy D. Divasta, Brian I. LabowAbstract:Young women with congenital breast asymmetry have impaired psychological well-being and Self-Esteem. However, little is known regarding the effects of surgical intervention in this population. This cohort study aims to assess postoperative changes in health-related quality of life following surgical treatment of breast asymmetry in young women using a prospective, longitudinal study design. From 2008 to 2018, 45 young women undergoing surgical correction of breast asymmetry of benign cause and 101 unaffected, female controls completed the following surveys: Short-Form 36v2, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Eating-Attitudes Test-26. Surveys were administered at baseline and at up to 9-year follow-up. Participants with breast asymmetry scored significantly worse than controls at baseline on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and in two Short-Form 36v2 domains: Social-Functioning and Role-Emotional. Asymmetry participants experienced significant postoperative improvements on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and in three Short-Form 36v2 domains: Role-Physical, Social Functioning, and Mental Health. These improvements were sustained for a minimum of 5 years. Postoperatively, asymmetry participants' quality of life was comparable to controls and did not vary by age at the time of surgery, asymmetry severity, or diagnosis. Surgical treatment of breast asymmetry in young women yields significant and sustained improvements in psychosocial quality of life. Postoperatively, patients returned to a level of functioning commensurate with their peers. Therapeutic, IV.

Psychological impact of breast asymmetry on adolescents: a prospective cohort study.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2014Co-Authors: Laura C. Nuzzi, Felecia Cerrato, Amy D. Divasta, Michelle L. Webb, Heather R. Faulkner, Erika M. Walsh, Arin K. Greene, Brian I. LabowAbstract:BACKGROUND This study measures the impact of adolescent breast asymmetry compared with macromastia and female controls. METHODS The following surveys were given to patients with breast asymmetry, macromastia, and controls aged 12 to 21 years: Short Form Health Survey, Version 2 (Short Form-36), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Eating Attitudes Test. Demographics were compared, and linear regression models, adjusted for body mass index category and age, were fit to determine the effect of case status on survey score. RESULTS Fifty-nine adolescents with asymmetry, 142 controls, and 160 macromastia patients participated. After controlling for differences in body mass index category, asymmetry patients scored lower on psychological Short Form-36 domains and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale than controls (p 0.05). Asymmetry patients had a higher mean body mass index percentile than controls (83.36 versus 73.52) but did not differ from that of macromastia patients (83.39). CONCLUSIONS Breast asymmetry may negatively impact the psychological quality of life of adolescents similar to macromastia. Breast asymmetry is not just a cosmetic issue. Providers should be aware of the psychological impairments associated with asymmetry and provide proper support.
