The Lifespan Self-Esteem Scale is a 4-item measure of self-esteem. The items are rated on a 5-point scale.
Self-esteem is a dimension of self-concept.
Self-esteem is the value people place on themselves. We learn our value in
various social contexts. Self-esteem is also related to the dimension of
self-concept called self-efficacy.
Format
The items are presented with pictures of faces representing five
different responses. (1 = really sad, 2 = sad, 3 = neutral, 4 = happy, 5 =
really happy). The response options are also illustrated with faces depicting
the appropriate feeling (really sad = crying face, sad = slight frown, neutral
= flat mouth, happy = slight smile, really happy = open-mouthed smile).
Sample item
1. How do you feel about yourself?
