Validation of Rosenberg self-esteem scale among Norwegian adolescents - psychometric properties across samples.
Article in BMC psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSelf-esteem refers to the evaluative and affective dimensions of the self-concept and is important for positive mental health and overall functioning during adolescence. The Rosenberg Self-esteem scale (RSES) is one of the most frequently used and widely accepted instruments assessing self-esteem; however, the psychometric properties of the instrument have not been investigated in a Norwegian adolescent population. The present study's aim is to investigate the factor structure, construct validity and reliability of the RSES among adolescents 14-21 years.
methodsThe study was based on two cross-sectional samples (n = 1,233/ n = 1,816) of adolescents from rural and urban areas in Mid-Norway. Concerning the dimensionality of the RSES, two measurement models were tested using Principal Component Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis: a one-factor model and a two-factor-model.
resultsThe results show that a two-factor solution of positive and negative aspects of self-esteem representing "perceived personal competence" and "self-value" had the best fit across the two adolescent samples. The RSES also showed high reliability and correlated in expected directions with measures of life satisfaction, stress, and self-efficacy, supporting the convergent validity of the instrument.
conclusionThe psychometric properties of the RSES need to be further evaluated in Norwegian adolescent populations based on the dimensionality found in the present study; however overall, the results indicate that the instrument is appropriate for assessing self-esteem among Norwegian adolescents.
