“…Convergent validity of the scale has been demonstrated as the scale correlates significantly with other measures of self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1979). Researchers have demonstrated significant positive relationships between self-esteem and other measures of self-concept and self-regard for school-aged children and adolescents (Hagborg, 1996;Hoge & McCarthy, 1983;Lorr & Wunderlich, 1986). …”

High levels of anxiety can negatively affect the lives of children and adolescents. Thirty-six adolescents who stutter and 36 adolescents who do not stutter were administered standardized scales for anxiety and self-esteem. Significant differences were found for the total T-scores for Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale for the two groups, although both groups mean T-scores were within normal range. Eighty-three percent of adolescents who stutter and 95% of adolescents who do not stutter earned scores in the normal range. No significant differences were found on the self-esteem scale, with 86% of adolescents who stutter and 97% of adolescents who do not stutter earning scores in the normal/positive range. Adolescents who stutter with co-occurring disorders displayed significantly higher levels of anxiety than adolescents who stutter with no co-occurring disorders. No significant differences were found between groups on ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender and anxiety levels. A positive, significant correlation between anxiety scores and self-esteem scores was found for both groups.Learning outcomes: Readers will learn about and understand (a) the role of anxiety and selfesteem in stuttering; (b) the methods used to evaluate anxiety and self-esteem in adolescents; and (c) the similarities between adolescents who stutter and adolescents who do not stutter on anxiety and self-esteem scales. #

“…As discussed in that study, the RSES is one of the most widely used scales for measuring self-esteem in the literature (Hagborg, 1996;Rosenberg, 1986). Scores on the RSES are the summed rating of the 10 items concerning feelings of self-worth.…”

Objective-The purpose of this study was to empirically derive eating disorder phenotypes in a clinical sample of children and adolescents using latent profile analysis (LPA) and compare these latent profile (LP) groups to the DSM-IV-TR eating disorder categories.Method-Eating disorder symptom data collected from 401 youth (ages 7-19; mean 15.14 ± 2.35y) seeking eating disorder treatment were included in LPA; general linear models were used to compare LP groups to DSM-IV-TR eating disorder categories on pre-treatment and outcome indices.Results-Three LP groups were identified: LP1 (n=144), characterized binge eating and purging ("Binge/purge"); LP2 (n=126), characterized by excessive exercise and extreme eating disorder cognitions ("Exercise-extreme cognitions"); and LP3 (n=131), characterized by minimal eating disorder behaviors and cognitions ("Minimal behaviors/cognitions"). Identified LPs imperfectly resembled DSM-IV-TR eating disorders. LP1 resembled bulimia nervosa; LP2 and LP3 broadly resembled anorexia nervosa with a relaxed weight criterion, differentiated by excessive exercise and severity of eating disorder cognitions. LP groups were more differentiated than the DSM-IV-TR categories across pre-treatment eating disorder and general psychopathology indices, as well as weight change at follow-up. Neither LP nor DSM-IV-TR categories predicted change in binge/purge behaviors. Validation analyses suggest these empirically-derived groups improve upon the current DSM-IV-TR categories.Conclusions-In children and adolescents, revisions for DSM-V should consider recognition of patients with minimal cognitive eating disorder symptoms.

“…The RSES is the most frequently used scale in the assessment of global self-esteem (Blascovich & Tomaka, 1991;Kling, Hyde, Showers, & Buswell, 1999). The internal consistency results (Cronbach's alpha) of RSES's scores are higher than .80 (Fleming & Courtney, 1984;Gray-Little, Williams, & Hancock, 1997;Hagborg, 1996) and Fleming and Courtney (1984) indicated a test-retest reliability (two-week interval) of .82. Apart from the initial work developed by Rosenberg, construct validity of this scale has been evidenced by significant correlations with other instruments of assessment of self-esteem (Francis & Wilcox, 1995;Hagborg, 1996;McCurdy & Kelly, 1997) and with a set of dimensions and psychological variables, like depression (Fleming & Courtney, 1984), anxiety (Fleming & Courtney, 1984) and satisfaction with life (Diener & Diener, 1995).…”

According to the self-psychology of Heinz Kohut, development of a healthy narcissism that is reflected in a secure sense of self, permits individuals to set and pursue meaningful life goals and maintain a sense ofwell-being, particularly in periods of transition and change. Based on this perspective, the primary purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of goal instability and self-esteem to the vocational identity of Portuguese high school students using a sample of 375 individuals. Additionally, the effect of gender and age on vocational identity was assessed. A regression equation accounted for 32% of the variance of the dependent variable with goal instability emerging as the strongest predictor. Implications for career theory and counseling are discussed.
