SLCS
Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale (SLCS)
The Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale (SLCS) measures two distinct dimensions of self-esteem: the sense of personal worth (self-liking) and the perception of one's own competence (self-competence). This questionnaire helps differentiate the affective and cognitive aspects of self-esteem and can be useful in clinical assessment, research, or therapeutic follow-up with adolescents and adults.

Scoring & interpretation
Responses are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree”). Scores are summed to obtain two subscales: “self-liking” and “self-competence” (8 items each). A high score indicates strong self-liking or self-competence, depending on the subscale.
