Self-esteem has long been considered an essential component of good mental health. Coopersmith's Self-esteem Inventory and Wellingham-Jones Self-esteem Values List applied to handwritings were given to 15- to 19-yr.-old students to explore the former's usefulness in designing programs to enhance self-esteem. Students were from 4 high schools representing the socioeconomic range of a small rural California city. Handwritings of the 25 students scoring highest and the 25 scoring lowest on self-esteem were graphometrically evaluated. Chi squared showed total agreement between the two tests in 62% of the cases, partial agreement in 30%, complete disagreement in 8%. This suggests Coopersmith's inventory may be a useful tool for school administrators, provided its limitations are understood. Similarities and differences between and within the high and low self-esteem groups were discussed.
长期以来，自尊一直被视为良好心理健康的重要组成部分。将库珀史密斯自尊量表和韦林厄姆 - 琼斯自尊价值观列表应用于笔迹分析，并分发给15至19岁的学生，以探讨前者在设计增强自尊计划方面的实用性。这些学生来自加利福尼亚州一个小乡村城市的4所高中，代表了不同的社会经济阶层。对在自尊测试中得分最高的25名学生和得分最低的25名学生的笔迹进行了笔迹测量评估。卡方检验显示，在62%的案例中，两种测试结果完全一致；30%的案例中部分一致；8%的案例中完全不一致。这表明，只要了解库珀史密斯量表的局限性，它可能是学校管理人员的一个有用工具。文中还讨论了高自尊和低自尊群体之间以及群体内部的异同。
