Abstract
This article describes a study that was conducted to investigate the construct validity of a self-anchored scale for measuring self-esteem. Self-anchored scale ratings of self-esteem were correlated with scores on two self-esteem scales, a depression scale, and demographic variables to provide evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. Results suggest that self-anchored scale scores may indeed reflect level of self-esteem. However, results also suggest that the reliability of the self-anchored scale scores may be unacceptably low and that level of depression may substantially influence a client's rating of self-esteem on a self-anchored scale.
