Özet

Self-esteem is a general personality trait that affects the whole life of an individual. Research findings show that people with a high level of self-esteem are more successful both in academic and daily life as compared to people with lower self-esteem. The purpose of this research is to develop a valid and reliable assessment form to measure self-esteem. The sample group of the study consists of 278 people studying in various universities. The form consists of 19 items remaining after the elimination of those with an item-test correlation value below 0.30. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the self-esteem assessment form has been computed to be 0.81. (C) Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
