- Abstract
The article discusses self-esteem in interpersonal behavior. Recently, two scales were developed to assess critical aspects of self-esteem. One construct was conceptualized as reflecting feelings of competence and efficacy, the other as perceived positive appraisal from significant others. To control for response bias, a paired-choice format was chosen for the items constructed. Data from three high school samples were intercorrelated, and each was subjected to a principal components analysis followed by Varimax rotations. The three analyses confirmed the two hypothesized factors: Confidence and Popularity. The revised scales, each comprised of 16 items, were shown to have acceptable reliability. Both correlate significantly with Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale scores.
