Reliability and validity of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) in patients with a diagnosis of psychosis

Abstract

Reliability and validity of a Spanish adaptation of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were tested on a sample of 107 psychotic outpatients treated at a Community Mental Healh Center. Results confirm a high internal consistency, test-retest reliability and construct validity. The widespread application of the scale, simple application and acceptable psychometric characteristics support the interest on its use use for patients with psychotic diagnosis.
