Despite its long-standing and widespread use, disagreement remains regarding the structure of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). In particular, concern remains regarding the degree to which the scale assesses self-esteem as a unidimensional or multidimensional (positive and negative self-esteem) construct. Using a sample of 3,862 high school students in the United Kingdom, 4 models were tested: (a) a unidimensional model, (b) a correlated 2-factor model in which the 2 latent variables are represented by positive and negative self-esteem, (c) a hierarchical model, and (d) a bifactor model. The totality of results including item loadings, goodness-of-fit indexes, reliability estimates, and correlations with self-efficacy measures all supported the bifactor model, suggesting that the 2 hypothesized factors are better understood as "grouping" factors rather than as representative of latent constructs. Accordingly, this study supports the unidimensionality of the RSES and the scoring of all 10 items to produce a global self-esteem score.
尽管罗森伯格自尊量表（RSES）长期以来被广泛使用，但对于其结构仍存在分歧。特别是，该量表在多大程度上评估自尊是一个单维还是多维（积极自尊和消极自尊）结构，这一问题仍然受到关注。以英国3862名高中生为样本，测试了4种模型：（a）单维模型，（b）相关双因素模型，其中两个潜在变量由积极自尊和消极自尊表示，（c）层次模型，以及（d）双因素模型。包括项目负荷、拟合优度指标、信度估计以及与自我效能测量的相关性在内的所有结果都支持双因素模型，这表明所假设的两个因素更好地被理解为“分组”因素，而不是潜在结构的代表。因此，本研究支持RSES的单维性以及对所有10个项目进行计分以产生总体自尊分数。
