To systematically investigate the factorial and criterion validity of the Chinese version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) among undergraduate students.
Altogether 1415 undergraduates completed the RSES, the Short Form of Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale and the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the factorial structure, gender invariance, and latent mean invariance of RSES. An independent -test was employed to compare differences in MASQ-SF scores between the high- and low-level self-esteem groups, and a path analysis was performed to confirm the vulnerability model.
Results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed that the correlated trait-correlated method model, which includes both global self-esteem and two positive and negative factors, fits the data best (optimum model). The results of the Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analyses demonstrated that this factor structure achieved measurement invariance and latent mean equivalence across genders among university students. Independent sample -tests revealed that undergraduates with higher self-esteem exhibited lower levels of anxiety and depression than those with lower self-esteem did. Path analysis showed that high self-esteem mitigated depressive symptoms induced by stress, thereby enhancing life satisfaction.
The Chinese version of the RSES exhibits robust factorial and excellent criterion validity, making it a suitable tool for assessing self-esteem among undergraduate students to promote mental and physical well-being.
系统调查中文版罗森伯格自尊量表（RSES）在本科生中的因素效度和效标效度。
共有1415名本科生完成了RSES、情绪与焦虑症状问卷简表、感知压力量表以及生活享受与满意度问卷。进行验证性因素分析以检验RSES的因素结构、性别不变性和潜在均值不变性。采用独立样本t检验比较高自尊组和低自尊组在MASQ-SF分数上的差异，并进行路径分析以验证易感性模型。
验证性因素分析结果表明，包含整体自尊以及两个正负性因素的相关特质-相关方法模型最适合该数据（最优模型）。多组验证性因素分析结果表明，该因素结构在大学生中实现了跨性别测量不变性和潜在均值等效性。独立样本t检验显示，自尊水平较高的本科生比自尊水平较低的本科生表现出更低的焦虑和抑郁水平。路径分析表明，高自尊减轻了压力诱发的抑郁症状，从而提高了生活满意度。
中文版RSES具有稳健的因素效度和良好的效标效度，是评估本科生自尊以促进身心健康的合适工具。
