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.
