ROSENBERG SCALE OF SELF-ESTEEM - STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL RELATION TOWARDS THE SELF

Our study was aimed at the analysis of the self-evaluation components and their relation to personality. The research was performed in a group of university students (N=188, including 72 boys and 116 girls). In order to follow the level of personality traits we used the Personality Questionnaire of Eysenck, for assessment of Interpersonal personality traits the Leary's ICL. For the study of self-esteem, the Rosenberg's scale of self-esteem was used. On the basis of our results, it is possible to consider two or three components of self-evaluation. We think a three-factor model of the structure to be the most suitable one both from the theoretical and practical points of view. It marks off two components of self-evaluation that depend on the temperament, or on emotional character, and one component (the third one) independent of them that is based on social comparison.
