Abstract | Researchers have found self-esteem neither to be strongly related to achievement nor to anti-social behaviors in children and adolescents. Due to the inconclusive findings on the benefits of higher self-esteem, an additional concept may be warranted. Other-esteem was coined by Philip Hwang as respect, acceptance, caring, valuing, and promotion of all human beings, without reservation. The purpose of this study was to develop a measure we dubbed the Other-Esteem Rating Scale (OthERS). The participants were 226 undergraduate students. The total scale alpha was 0.89, indicating strong internal consistency. Temporal stability was low (r = 0.53). The OthERS evidenced a moderate negative correlation with aggression (r = -0.54), and moderate positive correlations with self-esteem (r = 0.35) and life satisfaction (r = 0.31). Factor analysis revealed five factors that accounted for 60% of the variance. Implications for practice and research are discussed. (As Provided). |
