Validation of a Clinical Measure of Self-Esteem

University of Tennessee at Knoxville

Janita W. Thomas

Dede Wallace Center, Nashville, TN

This article describes a validation study of a newly developed measure of self-esteem. Two studies were conducted, with the second intended as a replication of the first. The first involved 246 persons, and the second involved 107. Several specific predictions were made about the correlations between scores on the newly developed scale, another measure of self-esteem, a measure of depression, and a number of demographic variables. The results suggest that the newly developed scale does in fact measure level of self-esteem. Limitations in this study and the use of the scale in social work practice are discussed.
