A 10-item, self-report questionnaire that measures the level of children’s self-esteem. The RSES inquires about children’s current feelings, using “I” statements (i.e.“I feel I have a number of good qualities…”). The items consist of five positively and five negatively worded scenarios. All ten items are answered on a 4-point scale–Strongly Agree (3), Agree (2), Disagree (1), and Strongly Disagree (0). Total possible scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicative of higher levels of self-esteem. A score between 15 and 25 is considered normal, and a score below 15 is suggestive of low self-esteem. If desired, the 4-point response scale can be changed to varying point allotments (i.e. 5- or 7-point scales) that provide more response options and higher overall score totals.
