Abstract
This study examined the construct validity of the multidimensional Rob son Self-Esteem Questionnaire (RSEQ). The RSEQ and seven other scales measuring affect and self-esteem-related constructs were completed by 307 undergraduate students. Factor analysis suggested that the RSEQ ha s three factors, which were labeled Self-Deprecation, Attractiveness, and Self-Respect. Correlations between the RSEQ and related constructs provided strong convergent and discriminant validation that the scale measures self-esteem. Correlations between the factors and the constr ucts provided moderate support for die independent validity of each of the dimensions.
