Dual self-esteem in university students: validation of the rosemberg scale

Abstract

This study evaluated the Rosenberg Scale, which measures self-esteem in university students in Peru, using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The results confirmed a good fit of the model and the subscales presented high reliability. Convergent validity was confirmed. The Rosenberg Scale, focused on positive and negative self-esteem, is reliable and valid for this population. This tool is crucial for understanding self-esteem in the educational and psychological setting, influencing well-being and academic success, and offers a complete view of self-evaluation, considering confidence and self-doubt.
