RSES was developed to measure explicit self-esteem19. The scale was intended to be mono-dimensional and consists of 10 items containing 5 positive affirmations and 5 negative affirmations. Participants provide a graded response (from 1 = "strongly disagree" to 4 = "strongly agree ").

The scale measures one's global self-worth and includes aspects related to self-derogation (i.e., a defence of positive self-images against any threat) and self-enhancement (i.e., rise in the eyes of others).
