“…However, there were no statistically significant differences among the other samples. The statistically significant sex difference in self-esteem in the Kuwaiti sample is consistent with a host of previous studies on self-esteem (e.g., Baumeister, 1994;Francis, 1998). This differ- ence may be related in part to collectivism.…”

“…they found a tendency for participants from non-Western cultures to report higher academic but lower non-academic self-esteem. It was found also that sex differences, whether favoring males or females, were inconsistent across cultures; however, in the literature there is general agreement that, typicall, men have higher self-esteem than women (baumeister, 1994;francis, 1998;Joshi & Srivastava, 2009). …”

This study had three objectives: (a) to compare undergraduates from four Arab countries on self-esteem, (b) to explore the sex-related differences in self-esteem in these four Arab countries, and (c) to examine the association of self-esteem with both per-capita income and unemployment rate. Four samples of 2,643 students were recruited from Egypt (n = 576), Kuwait (n = 674), Lebanon (n = 826), and Oman (n = 567). They responded to the Arabic version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Kuwaiti and Omani men had a significantly higher mean score on self-esteem than did Egyptian and Lebanese men. Egyptian women scored significantly lower than the Omani women, but the effect size was small. Regarding the sex-related differences in self-esteem, Kuwaiti men had a significantly higher mean score than did their female peers, but the effect size was small, whereas there were no significant sex differences in the other samples. The sex-related difference in self-esteem is a controversial result and it may not be replicable in different countries. It was suggested that self-esteem is associated with high per-capita income and low unemployment rate.

“…50. Correlations of this magnitude have been reported across various self-esteem scales, including both the Coopersmith (e. g., Francis, 1997, 1998) and the Rosenberg (e.g., Francis, 1996; Furr & Funder, 1998; Judge, Locke, et al, 1998) . Particularly noteworthy is the meta-analysis of Judge, Erez, and Bono (1998), who computed a correlation of −.51 based on the responses of nearly 16,000 participants.…”

“…Because Neuroticism reflects broad individual differences in subjective distress and dissatisfaction (Watson et al, 1994), it is not surprising that this trait is strongly (negatively) correlated with global measures of self-esteem, with coefficients typically exceeding Ϫ.50. Correlations of this magnitude have been reported across various self-esteem scales, including both the Coopersmith (e.g., Francis, 1997Francis, , 1998 and the Rosenberg (e.g., Francis, 1996;Furr & Funder, 1998;Judge, Locke, et al, 1998).

“…Global self-esteem also is significantly related to Extraversion. Studies using the Coopersmith or the Rosenberg typically report moderate correlations in the .30–.50 range (e.g., Francis, 1996, 1997, 1998; Furr & Funder, 1998); these coefficients typically are somewhat weaker than those obtained for Neuroticism, however.…”

Three studies examined global self-esteem in relation to structural models of personality and affectivity. In every study, self-esteem was strongly negatively correlated with Neuroticism/Negative Affectivity and moderately to strongly related to Extraversion/Positive Affectivity. Additional findings, however, revealed that self-esteem is better viewed at the lower order level. For instance, global self-esteem correlated -.79 with the Depression facet of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (P. T. Costa, Jr., & R. R. McCrae, 1992) in Study 3. Moreover, confirmatory factor analyses produced very strong correlations between self-esteem and depression in both Study 2 (r = -.82) and Study 3 (r = -.86). Taken together, the data suggest that global self-esteem measures define one end of a bipolar continuum, with trait indicators of depression defining the other.

A reliability generalization (RG) study was conducted on the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) to (a) examine the variability of reliability estimates across studies and (b) identify study characteristics that may predict this variability. Typical RG methodology was extended by estimating internal consistency reliability with KR-21 in cases when authors did not report reliability for their obtained scores. Accordingly, the present study investigated the psychometric properties of the CSEI and serves as a model to extend typical RG methods in some cases when examining dichotomously scored instruments.
