Test-Retest Reliability and Internal Consistency of Short-Form of Coopersmith's Self-Esteem Inventory

Abstract

Although information relating to the validity of the short form of Coopersmith's Self-esteem Inventory has recently been made available, little has been published regarding the reliability or internal consistency of this new measure. For 103 college students test-retest reliability and KR-20 coefficients are reported. The results present strong support for both the stability and internal consistency of scores on the inventory.
