“…Items with unfavorable statements (items 2, 5, 6, 8, 9) were scored as follows: 4 (strongly disagree), 3 (disagree), 2 (agree), 1 (strongly agree) (García et al, 2019). The RSES has a total score between 10-40, based on which, self-esteem can be categorized into 3 levels: low (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), moderate (26)(27)(28)(29), and high (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) self-esteem (García et al, 2019). The Indonesian version of the RSES has been validated in a previous study and has high internal reliability -as indicated by Cronbach's α = 0.875 (Kaloeti and Ardhiani, 2020).…”
