Scoring & interpretation
Each question receives a “yes” or “no” answer, which is scored according to the manual's instructions. Raw scores are converted into standardized scores for each subscale and for the global scale. Six self-concept domains are assessed: behavior, intellect/school, physical appearance, anxiety, popularity, happiness/satisfaction. High scores indicate better self-esteem.
