“…Coopersmith's Self-Esteem Inventory (1974) (adapted into Turkish by Turan & Tufan (1987)) was used as one of two data collection tools, and features twenty-five (25) statements-each of which containing two possible choices for answers: 'yes' (this describes me) and 'no' (this does not describe me). Respondents who had predictably selected 'yes' for statements 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 14, 19, and 20, and 'no' for statements 2,3,7,10,11,12,13,15,16,17,18,21,22,23,24, and 25 had received one point, whilst those who had provided responses to the reverse had not received any point. The results were then multiplied by four, upon which the total point score was obtained-this could be anywhere within the range of 0 to 100 points.…”
