Self-esteem is characterized by confidence and satisfaction in oneself and can be influenced by both implicit and explicit factors. Self-worth is often distinguished from self-esteem but is closely related.

Effectiveness

at the same time, it must be remembered that the 1-2 increment (on a scale of 10) is a hard limit of this approach alone

this can be enough for some situations and sometimes feel like a breakthrough for the individual

Measures

Implicit measures
Name Letter Task / effect
Coopersmith Inventory
"uses a 50-question battery over a variety of topics and asks subjects whether they rate someone as similar or dissimilar to themselves.[27] If a subject's answers demonstrate solid self-regard, the scale regards them as well adjusted. If those answers reveal some inner shame, it considers them to be prone to social deviance.[28]"
Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES)
Example [Source]

Please read each statement and record a number 0, 1, 2 or 3 which indicates how much the statement applied to you over the past two weeks. There are no right or wrong answers. Do not spend too much time on any one statement. This assessment is not intended to be a diagnosis. If you are concerned about your results in any way, please speak with a qualified health professional.


0 = Strongly disagree 1 = Disagree 2 = Agree 3 = Strongly agree


1 I feel that I am a person of worth, at least on an equal plane with others

2 I feel that I have a number of good qualities


...


For items marked with an (R), reverse the scoring (for example, 0 = 3, 1 = 2, 2 = 1, 3 = 0). For those items without an (R) next to them, simply add the score. Typical scores on the Rosenberg scale are around 22, with most people scoring between 15 and 25. A score of less than 15 suggests low self-esteem may be an issue. Remember that this assessment is just for information, it is not a diagnosis.
