Abstract
Although the use of computerized assessment tools in educational and psychological settings has increased dramatically in recent years, limited information is available about the properties of computerized self-concept measures. The authors evaluated the characteristics of computerized and paper-and-pencil versions of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES)—one of the most widely used self-concept measures in educational and psychological research. Results showed that administration mode (computerized versus paper and pencil) had little effect on the psychometric properties of the SES (i.e., score magnitude, variability, and factor structure) but that the computerized version took longer and was preferred by examinees. With the exception of administration time, these results support the use of the computerized SES and its comparability to the paper-and-pencil version.
