Abstract
A short, adult version of the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory has been devised for use in lengthy questionnaires with community mental health samples, when time available for any single instrument is limited. Published studies indicate the general reliability and validity of the full scale. Experimental validity was demonstrated in one study. A comparison with Coopersmith's longer adult version of the scale is presented.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
