“…The popularity of the 10-item RSES has been due, in part, to its long history of use, its uncomplicated language, and its brevity (it takes only 1 or 2 min to complete). In addition, the RSES displays a transparent one-dimensional factor structure (Corwyn, 2000;Fleming & Courtney, 1984;O'Brien, 1985;Whiteside-Mansell & Corwyn, 2003), though some studies have found underlying subfactors within the RSES (Carmines & Zeller, 1979;Tafarodi & Swann, 1996).The relative simplicity and accessibility of the RSES has favored a considerable number of translations, including almost all Indo-European languages (Helbing, 1982;Jerusalem, 1988;Shorkey & Whiteman, 1978;Vallieres & Vallerand, 1990) and also many languages from completely different linguistic families such as Chinese (Cheng & Page, 1989;Farruggia, Chen, Greenberger, Dmitrieva, & Macek, 2004), Japanese (Kamakura, Jukoando, & Ono, 2001;Okada & Nagai, 1990), Persian (Shapurian, Hojat, & Nayerahmadi, 1987), and Estonian (Pullmann & Allik, 2000). Because of its presumed simplicity, the psychometric properties of the RSES have seldom been examined with demand and rigor across cultures, often leaving open questions of structural and measurement equivalence.…”

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was translated into 28 languages and administered to 16,998 participants across 53 nations. The RSES factor structure was largely invariant across nations. RSES scores correlated with neuroticism, extraversion, and romantic attachment styles within nearly all nations, providing additional support for cross-cultural equivalence of the RSES. All nations scored above the theoretical midpoint of the RSES, indicating generally positive self-evaluation may be culturally universal. Individual differences in self-esteem were variable across cultures, with a neutral response bias prevalent in more collectivist cultures. Self-competence and self-liking subscales of the RSES varied with cultural individualism. Although positively and negatively worded items of the RSES were correlated within cultures and were uniformly related to external personality variables, differences between aggregates of positive and negative items were smaller in developed nations. Because negatively worded items were interpreted differently across nations, direct cross-cultural comparisons using the RSES may have limited value.Keywords: self-esteem, cross-cultural psychology, personalityGlobal self-esteem is typically defined as one's overall sense of worthiness as a person (Baumeister, 1993;Branden, 1994;Rosenberg, 1979). Among the many devices for assessing global selfesteem, the self-report version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1965) remains the most widely used measure (Byrne, 1996;Wylie, 1974). The popularity of the 10-item RSES has been due, in part, to its long history of use, its uncomplicated language, and its brevity (it takes only 1 or 2 min to complete). In addition, the RSES displays a transparent one-dimensional factor structure (Corwyn, 2000;Fleming & Courtney, 1984;O'Brien, 1985;Whiteside-Mansell & Corwyn, 2003), though some studies have found underlying subfactors within the RSES (Carmines & Zeller, 1979;Tafarodi & Swann, 1996).The relative simplicity and accessibility of the RSES has favored a considerable number of translations, including almost all Indo-European languages (Helbing, 1982;Jerusalem, 1988;Shorkey & Whiteman, 1978;Vallieres & Vallerand, 1990) and also many languages from completely different linguistic families such as Chinese (Cheng & Page, 1989;Farruggia, Chen, Greenberger, Dmitrieva, & Macek, 2004), Japanese (Kamakura, Jukoando, & Ono, 2001;Okada & Nagai, 1990), Persian (Shapurian, Hojat, & Nayerahmadi, 1987), and Estonian (Pullmann & Allik, 2000). Because of its presumed simplicity, the psychometric properties of the RSES have seldom been examined with demand and rigor across cultures, often leaving open questions of structural and measurement equivalence.The current study addressed this concern by simultaneously administering the RSES, alongside other questionnaires, to college student and community samples from 53 nations. More specifically, the current study had five main objectives. First, we evaluated the structural equivalence of the RSES acros...

“…It is considered that there are no developmental changes in self-confidence and the sense of achievement of people with ASD between their late teens and late 20s. However, regarding self-esteem that is strongly correlated with self-confidence, previous studies on self-esteem in typically developing individuals (Okada and Nagai, 1990) indicated it showed a U-shaped developmental curve, i.e. decreasing from junior high to senior high school days and increasing from senior high school to college days .…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate developmental changes and factors affecting subjective well-being (SWB) of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in Japan. Design/methodology/approach Questionnaires were distributed to participants (n = 87) and interviews(n = 33) were conducted to investigate factors affecting SWB. Findings This study suggested that the SWB of people with ASD might be closely correlated with their self-esteem. Moreover, high school and university students have negative feelings such as anxiety and worries that affected their SWB, whereas working adults have positive feelings and thinking that influenced their SWB. Furthermore, hobbies were the source of happiness for people with ASD. Originality/value This study suggests the factors affecting SWB of people with ASD.

“…Se desprende de lo anterior que el LSI-A es una medida que evalúa con mayor precisión las dos primeras dimensiones (la tercera con algunos reparos de confiabilidad). Se recomienda que quienes quieran evaluar el autoconcepto recurran a otras escalas como por ejemplo, la escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (1965;Rosenberg, Schooler, Schoenbach & Rosenberg, 1995), que por su facilidad y simplicidad de aplicación se ha aplicado en una diversidad de países (por ejemplo, ver Cheng & Page, 1989;Helbing, 1982;Okada & Nagai, 1990;Rojas-Barahona, Zegers y Förster, 2008), mostrando por lo general ser válida y tener una alta confiabilidad. Respecto de la dimensión Resolución y Fortaleza se sugiere que la construcción de futuras escalas de satisfacción vital, y que se basen en el marco teórico de Neugarten y colaboradores (1961;1996), contemplen la inclusión de nuevos ítemes que apunten a esta dimensión.…”

ResumenSe presentan los resultados obtenidos en la estimación de la confiabilidad y la validez del Índice de Satisfacción Vital (LSI-A) de Neugarten, Havighurst & Tobin (1961, 1996. La muestra estuvo constituida por 473 adultos de 30 a 75 años (hombres y mujeres) de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile, distribuidos en tres niveles de ingreso, tres grupos de edad y tres niveles de escolaridad. Se estimó la validez de contenido, concurrente y de constructo del instrumento, definiendo 5 factores que explican el 50.62% de la varianza. La confiabilidad con alpha de Cronbach fue de 0.80 para la muestra completa, el índice varió entre 0.77 a 0.83 según edad, entre 0.77 y 0.81 según nivel educacional y entre 0.74 y 0.83 según nivel de ingreso; no se observaron variaciones según sexo (0.80).Palabras Claves: Satisfacción vital, adulto mayor, bienestar subjetivo, validación. AbstractThe findings of a research aimed to estimate reliability and validity of The Life Satisfaction Index (LSI-A) of Neugarten, Havighurst & Tobin (1961;1996) are presented. The sample consisted of 473 adults from 30 to 75 years (male and female) from Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile, distributed into three levels of income, age groups and educational levels. The content, concurrent and construct validity of the instrument was estimated, defining five factors accounting for 50.62% of the variance. The reliability with Cronbach's alpha was 0.80 for the full sample, the index ranged between 0.77 to 0.83 depending on age, between 0.77 and 0.81 according to educational level and between 0.74 and 0.83 depending on income level, no changes were observed by sex (0.80).
