I used concurrent validity to support the 5-scale test of self-esteem by
Alice Pope. We administered the Rosenberg test of self-esteem, the
Coopersmith scale of self-esteem, and the Pope 5-scale test of self-esteem
to youngsters in all grades. We compared the outcomes from the 3 measures,
2 of which are well-grounded measures according to Blasovich and Tomaka.
There was high positive, significant correlation between the 3 outcomes and
we concluded that the Pope test was a valid measure of self-esteem.
