一些研究人员认为，罗森伯格自尊量表利用了自我形象的两个维度，而其他人则认为，这两个维度（积极和消极）仅仅是项目措辞的产物。为了直接测试这些相互竞争的观点，我们让 741 名不同种族的大学本科生采用了 10 项罗森伯格量表的三个版本之一：原始版本由 5 个积极措辞和 5 个消极措辞的项目组成，或两个替代版本之一由 10 个积极措辞或 10 个消极措辞的项目组成。分析表明，原始版本适合二因素模型，而改写版本通常适合单因素模型。所有三个版本对于不同种族群体都具有较高的有效性，但是修订后的阳性版本与抑郁症的测量值的重叠较少，并且两个修订版的版本与自欺欺人的测量值的重叠较少。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Some researchers contend that the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale taps two dimensions of self-image, whereas others argue that the two dimensions (positive and negative) are merely an artifact of item wording. To directly test these competing views, we had 741 ethnically diverse university undergraduates take one of three versions of the 10-item Rosenberg Scale: the original version comprised of five positively worded and five negatively worded items, or one of two alternative versions comprised of 10 positively worded or 10 negatively worded items. Analyses indicated that the original version fit a two-factor model, whereas the reworded versions generally fit a one-factor model. All three versions had high validity for different ethnic groups, but the revised-positive version had less overlap with a measure of depression, and both revised versions had less overlap with a measure of self-deception.
