“…In addition, both RSES and B-RSES had almost the same pattern of correlations with the Big Five personality traits. Also, the abbreviated version was strongly correlated with the five other RSES items that were not selected for its short version, indicating strong evidence of construct validity (Pasquali, 2010). Furthermore, B-RSES correlated strongly with three other measures of self-esteem, providing further support of its construct validity.…”

Self-esteem is defined as sense of self-worth and self-respect, being crucial for understanding people’s well-being and success. It is one of the most studied constructs in the social sciences, with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) being the most used measure. Across four studies (N = 1450), we tested the psychometric parameters of an abbreviated version of the RSES. Through Item Response Theory, the five best items were selected to form the unidimensional Brief Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (B-RSES), a reliable and valid measure of self-esteem, which is invariant across age groups and gender. In addition, both RSES and B-RSES correlated very similarly with the Big Five Personality Factors. Also, the B-RSES was strongly correlated with three other short measures of self-esteem, besides being more strongly associated with a range of variables such as conscientiousness and self-competence in comparison to the other three short scales. Together, the B-RSES is especially useful in research that requires rapid evaluation and the use of multiple variables.

“…Participants are asked to rate the statement on a scale from 1 ( not very true of me ) to 7 ( very true of me ). It was designed as an alternative to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale with which the SISES has been shown to have strong convergent validity and similar predictive validity (see Pimentel et al, 2018; Robins et al, 2001). The SISES has been used in populations of ethnically diverse undergraduates (see Doron et al, 2013; Pimentel et al, 2018; Robins et al, 2001).…”

Betrayal Trauma and Resilience in Former Foster Youth

Resilience is often operationalized as the presence of positive behaviors and the absence of negative behaviors without considering external factors (e.g., racial discrimination), potentially limiting one’s ability to control their outcomes. In a sample of 20 former foster youth, this study investigated internal and interpersonal resilience and betrayal trauma. A mixed-methods approach addressed two questions: (a) How resilient are former foster youth? and (b) Which factors examined correlate with resilience? I hypothesized that (1) resilience would positively correlate with emotion regulation and self-esteem and (2) negatively correlate with perceived stress, betrayal trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that (3) betrayal trauma would positively correlate with PTSD and (4) negatively correlate with emotion regulation. Results demonstrated no correlation between resilience and emotion regulation or self-esteem; negative correlations between resilience and perceived stress, betrayal trauma, and PTSD; and insignificant correlations between betrayal trauma and PTSD and emotion regulation.

Introducción: El autodesprecio es un constructo raramente estudiado por la psicología, generalmente considerado solo una faceta opuesta a la autoestima. Sin embargo, la literatura presenta su relación con la salud mental y el bienestar, lo que indica la relevancia de futuras investigaciones. Objetivo: La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo desarrollar una medida de autodesprecio. Método: Se realizaron dos estudios, ambos con 200 participantes brasileños (M = 21,73; DE = 5,87). Además del instrumento desarrollado, el segundo estudio utilizó la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, la Escala de Autoestima de Ítem Único, la Escala de Narcisismo de Ítem Único y el Cuestionario de Agresión. Resultados: Inicialmente, se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio y un análisis de confiabilidad en el instrumento, que indicó una organización factorial única, explicando el 35 % de la varianza y obteniendo la confiabilidad de ω = 0,89. El segundo estudio buscó realizar análisis confirmatorios, análisis de calibración y correlaciones entre autodesprecio, autoestima, narcisismo y agresión. La escala presentó un buen índice de ajuste de ajuste (CFI = 0,97; TLI = 0,97; RMSEA = 0,04; y SRMR = 0,05). Hubo una correlación negativa entre la autoestima (r = -0,75) y la autodesprecio, así como positiva con todos los factores de agresión. Conclusiones: la Escala de Autodesprecio mostró evidencia de validez y confiabilidad factorial. A pesar de ello, se destacan las limitaciones del estudio, en especial el uso del muestreo por conveniencia. Se concluye que se cumplieron los objetivos.
