SPANISH ADAPTATION OF THE ABBREVIATED FORM FOR THE SELF-ESTEEM RATING SCALE
Journal Title: MLS Psychology Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: self-esteem could be a mediating variable in the success of the rehabilitation in schizophrenia. Some authors recommend the use of scales that differentiate between the positive and negative dimensions of self-esteem, such as the Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS). This study aims to validate the abbreviated form of this scale into Spanish (SERS-SF). Method: the study was carried out with 370 participants, 328 control subjects and 42 belonging to a clinical group (diagnosis of schizophrenia). The existence of two dimensions of self-esteem was analyzed by means of a confirmatory factorial analysis, and the test-retest reliability, the criterion validity and the internal consistency for each dimension were calculated. The relationships between self-esteem and socio-demographic variables were also analyzed in both samples, as well as the symptomatology in the patients’ case. Lastly, the level of self-esteem between the controls and patients was compared. Results: the Spanish version of the SERSSF showed good psychometric properties in both samples. No significant relationships were obtained with any socio-demographic variable. In the case of the patients, the positive dimension of self-esteem was related to symptoms of grandiosity, lack of judgment and insight, and depression. The comparison between the control subjects and the patients showed that the latter had worse self-esteem, although it was within normalized values in a high percentage. Discussion: The results obtained enable us to conclude that the Spanish version of the SERS-SF is a good test for evaluating the positive and negative dimensions of self-esteem in a differentiated way.
