What is the Rosenberg Scale?
It is a 10-statement questionnaire created by the sociologist Morris Rosenberg in 1965 to measure global self-esteem. It is short, free and one of the most widely used instruments in psychology research worldwide.
How is the score calculated?
Each answer is worth 0 to 3 points, and five statements are reverse-scored. The total ranges from 0 to 30. In general, 15 to 25 points is the most common range; below 15 suggests low self-esteem and above 25, high self-esteem.
