Psychometrics of the RSES Scale in Pakistan
Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities - QJSSH - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The Rosenberg Self-Esteem (RSES) was developed in 1965 to measure self-esteem, and it has been used and translated into different languages to be applied to different samples. A quantitative instrumental research design, looking for the psychometric properties of the RSES scale, was conducted in Pakistan with University students (N= 455) enrolled in different public and private institutions. A single-factor model that included all the items was determined with the Dependent Weighted Least of Squares (DWLS) estimator and pairwise missing data handling because the distribution was not normal and identified missing values, considering that some items' response options were significantly underrepresented. This instrument may not be adequate for the psychosocial characteristics of Pakistan university students, and future research must be done to analyze the psychometric properties of the RSES.
