Abstract

The aim  of  this  study  was  to  develop  a  quantitative  method  for  evaluating  the  self-esteem  of universityand  collegestudents.  A  group  of 15university  students, comprising  of  10males  and 05females,  participated  in  interviews  using  a  semi-structured  interviewing  method.  The  objective  of  these  interviews  was  to  examine  the concept of self-esteem as viewed by the researcher. It was formed as aconsequence of the conversion   process.   A   psychometric   examination   was   undertaken   to   evaluate   the psychometric properties  of self-esteem. The study administered the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale,   together   with   a   demographic   Performa,   to   a   sample   of multiple students (male/female). The response, obtained through the study of the socioeconomic status (SES) component,   comprises   five   unique   attributes:   low   self-esteem,   resilience,   withdrawal, sociability, and self-assurance. The psychometric properties of SES were found to be good. The main topics of discussion revolve around the arrangement of socioeconomic status and the  differences  in  self-esteem  across  genders  within  the  cultural  framework.This  study examines major issues such as gender, culture, scale, validity, reliability, phenomenology, self-esteem, and university students
