Mission Connection Healthcare has released a guide comparing different self-esteem scales and their focus areas, identifying which tools are best for self-assessments or clinical settings.
-- In the latest guide from Mission Connection, mental health professionals affiliated with the treatment center examine the structures of certain scientifically validated self-esteem scales, exploring their applications and suitability for different demographics and environments. The guide also covers how these screening tools can be used to create a baseline for an individual’s self-worth, which can then be used to measure their personal growth.

As Mission Connection explains, self-esteem scales have been developed by psychologists to evaluate self-esteem - the perception of the self and how this influences how individuals interact with the world. These scales are structured screening tools designed to quantify an individual’s self-confidence, which is subjective and dynamic, thereby allowing respondents to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
In mental health settings, self-esteem scales are used by psychologists and counselors to gauge how positively or negatively a patient views themself, often aiding in diagnoses for conditions related to self-worth, such as depression and anxiety. Patients actively undergoing therapy will typically be asked to complete such a screening test periodically to track their progress and inform their mental health professional on areas that need improvement.
According to Mission Connection’s guide, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory are the most widely used screening tools in research and healthcare.
The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was initially developed to measure adolescent self-image, but it can be used for other demographics as well; due to its simplicity, it is best suited for quick assessments or general population studies.
On the other hand, the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory was created to research self-concept in children and adolescents and can help educators and counselors identify and develop targeted interventions for children with low self-esteem levels. Because of its length and relative complexity, it is more suitable for detailed evaluations, offering deeper insights into the respondent’s self-confidence across various domains.
Mission Connection says that when used regularly, self-esteem scales can help individuals monitor their progress and build confidence over time. In a therapeutic context, it is up to the therapist’s discretion which scale would be best for their patient - the guide recommends choosing based on the patient’s personal growth goals and the demographic to which they belong.
