Self-Concept Theory

Rosenberg, M. · 1965

別名: Self-Esteem Theory · Self-Concept

Rosenberg's Self-Concept Theory conceptualizes self-esteem as a global, unidimensional evaluation of one's own worth, measured through the widely used 10-item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The theory posits that self-concept develops through social interactions and reflected appraisals from significant others, with self-esteem serving as the evaluative component of the broader self-concept. The RSES has been administered in 53 nations and translated into 28 languages, becoming the most widely used measure of self-esteem in psychological research.

Theory of global self-esteem as a unidimensional evaluation of one's own worth, combining self-acceptance, self-respect, and sense of adequacy. Foundation for the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.

歴史的背景

Morris Rosenberg developed his theory of self-concept while studying over 5,000 high school students from diverse social, religious, and national backgrounds in New York State, publishing his findings in 'Society and the Adolescent Self-Image' (1965). The work was influenced by George Herbert Mead's symbolic interactionism and Charles Horton Cooley's 'looking-glass self' concept, grounding self-esteem in social processes. Rosenberg further elaborated his theory in 'Conceiving the Self' (1979), distinguishing between self-concept content, structure, and evaluation, and inspiring later multidimensional models by Shavelson, Hubner, and Stanton (1976) and Marsh (1985).

構成概念

自尊心

A global evaluative attitude toward the self, defined by Rosenberg (1965) as the individual's overall positive or negative orientation toward oneself as a totality, encompassing feelings of self-worth, self-respect, and self-acceptance. High self-esteem reflects the belief that one is 'good enough' without necessarily considering oneself superior, while low self-esteem is associated with self-rejection and a pervasive lack of self-respect.

実践的応用

In clinical practice, the RSES is routinely used to assess and monitor self-esteem in patients with depression, anxiety, and other conditions where self-evaluation is impaired, guiding interventions in CBT and schema therapy. In educational settings, the scale helps school psychologists identify students at risk for academic and social difficulties due to low self-esteem, informing bullying prevention and intervention programs. In organizational psychology, self-esteem measurement supports leadership development, employee well-being assessments, and workplace satisfaction research.

測定方法

The RSES consists of 10 items (5 positively and 5 negatively worded) rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Research consistently shows that 4-20% of respondents answer inconsistently across positive and negative items, creating a method effect that confounds factor structure analyses.

批評と制限事項

The assumed unidimensional structure of the RSES has been questioned, as factor analyses consistently reveal a two-factor structure driven by positively and negatively worded items, raising concerns about whether this reflects substantive self-esteem dimensions or methodological artifact. Critics argue that the global self-esteem approach oversimplifies a multifaceted construct, neglecting important distinctions between contingent self-esteem (tied to external validation) and stable intrinsic self-worth. The scale also shows measurement limitations including insufficient spread of item difficulty, negative wording effects that disproportionately affect certain populations, and potential cultural biases in response patterns across collectivist versus individualist societies.
