SELF-ESTEEM AND MEASURING SCALE 3
participants if they would rate others similarly or otherswise as they would rate themselves
(Orenstein, 2013). If the answers of the subjects demonstrate a self-regard that is solid, the
method then considers them as being properly adjusted. When the responds show a revelation of
inner shame, the scale then regards them as liable to becoming social deviants. The implicit self-
esteem scales started to be applied in the 1980s (Mruk, 2013). Such measures depend on
indirectly measuring the cognitive thought process related to the implied self-esteem that
includes the naming letter tasks. When applied in assessing implicit self-esteem, the
psychologists need to feature a stimulus that is self-relevant to the subjects and then assess how
fast the subject is able to identify negative or positive stimuli. For instance, when a woman is
given a stimulus that is self-relevant, of mother and female, the psychologists would assess how
fast she would identify positive words like kind or negative words like evil. From the three
scales of measuring self-esteem, I would recommend the application of Rosenbergs self-esteem
scale that involves the use of multiple choice questions or closed-ended questionnaire, to help
indicate the level of agreement on the statements that concern themselves. This makes easy for
them to rate themselves regarding the personal statements (Fox, & Lindwall, 2014).
Generating items of measurement
The process of generating items on the Rosenberg scale involves identifying the positive
and negative attributes about a person such as kind, strong, good, bad, weak, and many other
relevant attributes and developing personal statements using them in first person. A good
example would be ‘I am good at writing essays’. Each of the statement would have multiple
choices as possible answers to help the participants choose from them. The answers should be
put such that they indicate a certain level regarding how the participants agree or disagree with
the statement. For instance, the choices would be strongly agreeing, agreeing, neither disagreeing
