Abstract: A review of the literature indicates that (a) very little attention has been devoted to Measurement problems plaguing the study of self - esteem and (b) few studies employ more than one type of self - esteem instrument. This study addresses these issues by using eight measures of self - esteem involving self -reports, ratings by others, and a projective instrument.
