“…While some authors argued that the bestfitting models allow negative item uniqueness to correlate with each other (Corwyn 2000;Halama 2008;Marsh 1996), others suggested that this artefact of response styles is more associated with positively worded items (Dunbar et al 2000;Martín-Albo et al 2007;Wang et al 2001). Additionally, other studies concluded that considering simultaneously method effects for positive and negative worded items provide better fit to data than a set on only negative or positive wording effects (Gana et al 2005;Tomás and Oliver 1999;Wu 2008). Thus, when authors do not test RSES' responses for method effects, it is fairly probable that empirical support is obtained for a two-factor structure of self-esteem (Tomás and Oliver 1999).…”

“…It consists of 10 items, five of them positively (e.g., On the whole, I am satisfied with myself) and five negatively (e.g., I feel I do not have much to be proud of) worded. Items were sequenced according to Gana et al (2005), and Tomás and Oliver (1999): P1, P2, N1, P3, N2, P4, P5, N3, N4 and N5. Negatively worded items were reversed before any subsequent analysis, allowing the calculation of a global score with possible values range between 10 and 40, where higher values represent higher levels of GSE.…”

“…Fourteen measurement models were specified and tested according to the several nested factor models reviewed in the scholarly literature (e.g., Gana et al 2005;Tomás and Oliver 1999;Wu 2008). Several of the reviewed studies only analysed ten or less factorial structures.…”

“…As expected, models 10, 13 and 14 originated improper solutions. According to previous suggestions (Gana et al 2005;Marsh 1996;Wang et al 2001;Wu 2008), Model 10 was respecified by setting to zero the lowest uniqueness correlation, which was between items N1 and N5 (r = .236). To fix the problems of Models 13 and 14, the loading of item P4 on the respective method factor was fixed to zero, since its variance was nonsignificant (p [ .05).…”

Factorial Validity and Invariance of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Among Portuguese Youngsters

The purpose of the present study was to examine the reliability, factorial validity and measurement invariance (across gender, age and physical activity participation) of a Portuguese version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The sample consisted of 1,763 Portuguese youngsters (731 male and 1,032 female) with ages between 15 and 20 years. Reliability estimate for the one-factor solution was .845, although some proposed RSES's underlying dimensions were lower than .70. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the best-fitting model was a single self-esteem factor, plus simultaneous correlated uniqueness for positively and negatively worded items. Multigroup analysis supported measurement invariance across age and physical activity participation, and partial metric invariance across gender, as three items failed to show metric equivalence. These results provide evidence that RSES has excellent psychometric properties and it is a valid self-esteem measure to be used among Portuguese youngsters.

background The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) has traditionally been conceptualised as a unidimensional measure of self-esteem, but empirical evidence is equivocal, with some studies supporting a one-factor solution and others favouring multidimensional models. participants and procedureThe aim of this study was to examine the factor structure, factorial invariance and composite reliability of the RSES within a European sample of children affected by parental imprisonment (N = 724). The study specified and tested six alternative factor models using conventional confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) techniques and a confirmatory bifactor modelling approach. resultsThe RSES was most effectively represented by a bifactor model including a general self-esteem factor comprising all ten scale items and separate method effects for the positively and negatively phrased items. This model was found to be factorially invariant among boys and girls. Composite reliability indicated good internal consistency for the general self-esteem dimension but slightly less so for the positive and negative method effects. conclusionsIt follows that the calculation of a total RSES score is appropriate for children of prisoners, providing that the presence of method effects is taken into consideration to avoid giving rise to false interpretations. This study demonstrated the application of a bifactorial modeling approach as a potential solution.key words Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES); bifactor modelling; confirmatory factor analysis; factorial invariance; children of prisoners Construct validity, dimensionality and factorial invariance of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale: a bifactor modelling approach among children of prisoners corresponding author

Self‐esteem and binge eating: Do patients with binge eating disorder endorse more negatively worded items of the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale?

et al. 2020

Objective Self‐esteem is a core aspect of eating disorder symptomatology. This study aims to examine whether method effects associated with negatively worded items of the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale (RSES) may interact the negative self‐evaluations experienced by patients with obesity and binge eating disorder (BED). We also examined whether negatively worded items were associated with psychological distress and eating symptoms. Method Five hundred thirty three female outpatients (mean age: 42.59) with BED (n = 160) or obesity without BED (n = 373) completed the RSES and measures of interpersonal problems, psychological distress, and eating symptoms. Results Patients with BED responded more strongly to the negatively worded items of the RSES than those with obesity. The RSES negatively worded item factor was negatively associated with higher interpersonal problems, psychological distress, and binge eating. Conclusions Patients with BED may be more responsive to negatively phrased items on the RSES consistent with their negative self‐evaluations and self‐perceptions.
