Studied measurement problems in assessing self-esteem and the employment of more than 1 type of self-esteem instrument by administering 8 measures of self-esteem involving self-reports, ratings by others, and a projective instrument to 9th and 10th graders. A total of 55 Ss were involved, but each S was not administered every instrument. Intercorrelation of scores were examined to provide preliminary validational evidence; then, confirmatory factor analysis was used to construct measurement models and further assess the validity of the measures. Results suggest that 2 traditional questionnaires (the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale) and a personal interview were valid in measuring experienced self-esteem, and 3 measures involving ratings by others were valid in measuring presented self-esteem. Findings are consistent with previous multidimensional conceptualizations of self-esteem, indicating that a variety of methods is necessary to adequately measure self-concept.(52 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
