Abstract

Drawing from the international statements about self-esteem's issues, this paper presents the development of a new French scale to assess it. With a multidimensional design, the tool aims to scrutiny the adolescents’ principal areas of life. The elements of validity showed that the factorial structure was satisfactory, the internal consistence of each dimension was good and the test-retest fidelity was quite high. The external validity was explored with the assistance of the MDI-C and showed that all dimensions of self-esteem were linked to depressive symptoms. The variations of the self-esteem, and of its components, depending on the gender and on the academic course have led us to build specific standardization for boys and girls and for apprentices and high school students.
