Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale: Two Factors or Method Effects.

Tomas, Jose M.; Oliver, Amparo

Structural Equation Modeling, v6 n1 p84-98 1999

Results of a study with 640 Spanish high school students suggest the existence of a global self-esteem factor underlying responses to Rosenberg's (M. Rosenberg, 1965) Self-Esteem Scale, although the inclusion of method effects is needed to achieve a good model fit. Method effects are associated with item wording. (SLD)
