Development of the Self-Image Profile for Adults [SIP-AD]

Abstract

Self-esteem is an important notion within clinical practice, yet despite numerous initiatives in measuring the concept, most scales lack a theoretical foundation and are methodologically questionable, being author generated and psychometrically tested on small samples of college students. The Self-Image Profile for adults (SIP-AD), developed and validated on a large British population, is a brief measure (30 items) of both self-esteem and self-image. Through a cross sectional survey of 1,462 adults (17-65 years) across all regions of the United Kingdom, factor structure and convergent validity was assessed. Factorial validity revealed six factors, renamed Aspects of Self, confirmed through oblique rotation, in line with a theoretical position of multidimensionality of self-construing. Measures of internal consistency were 0.898 for Cronbach's coefficient α. Both self-esteem and self-image scores correlated significantly with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (.418 and -.424 respectively) and Tennessee Self-Concept Scale-2 (.557 and -.512). The format of the SIP-AD, with a visually available profile, fosters collaboration between respondent and clinician, which befits its employment in clinical practice.

Self-Image Profile in Children and Adolescents with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder and the Quality of Life in Their Parents

“…The WHOQoL-BREF allows for the computation of the four broad domain scores of Physical Health, Psychological Health, Social Relationships, and Environment. It also includes two items that are examined separately, the first asks about an individual's overall perception of Quality of Life (QoL) and the second required them to rate their overall perception of their health. The Self-image Profiles for Children (SIP-C) and Adolescents (SIP-A) [24]: This is a self-report measure for use with children aged from 7 to 11 and adolescents aged from 12 to 16. It requires the young persons to evaluate themselves against a range of positive and negative self-statements.…”

“…A bespoke questionnaire is also being developed (Shannon, unpublished), with the aim of providing a measure of the individual's ability to recognise the warning signs of abuse pre-and post intervention. Other suitable measures could be the Profile for Adults (SIP-Adult; Butler & Gasson, 2006), which measures the individual's theory of self and does not require high levels of literacy. The client rates the items in terms of both how they think of themselves and how they would like to be.…”
