Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale is a widely utilized 1010-item self-report questionnaire designed to operationally define and empirically measure an individual's self-esteem. Respondents rate each statement on a 44-point scale, ranging from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree. To maintain a consistent scoring direction, the assessment applies direct scoring (assigning 33 points for Strongly Agree down to 00 points for Strongly Disagree) to positively worded items (11, 22, 44, 66, and 77) and reverse coding (assigning 00 points for Strongly Agree up to 33 points for Strongly Disagree) to negatively worded items (33, 55, 88, 99, and 1010). The final self-esteem metric is calculated as the total sum of all accrued points. The 1010 items are: 11. I feel that I’m a person of worth, at least on an equal plane with others. 22. I feel that I have a number of good qualities. 33. All in all, I am inclined to feel that I am a failure. 44. I am able to do things as well as most other people. 55. I feel I do not have much to be proud of. 66. I take a positive attitude toward myself. 77. On the whole, I am satisfied with myself. 88. I wish I could have more respect for myself. 99. I certainly feel useless at times. 1010. At times I think I am no good at all.
