The Rosenberg Scale and the Coppersmith Inventory measure which construct?

• A. Self-esteem
• B. Emotional Disturbance
• C. Reading comprehension
• D. Writing ability

Answer: (A)

Self-esteem is the belief in one's own worth or value. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale asks about feelings of self-worth and adequacy, yielding a global index of how positively a person views themselves. The Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory extends this idea across domains like home and school to capture how a person perceives their value in social contexts. Together, these scales measure self-esteem, not emotional disturbance or academic skills such as reading or writing.
