Abstract

There are few studies have been conducted to explore the relational self-esteem in Thailand. This research aims at developing a relational self-esteem measurement adapted from Du, King, & Chi (2012). Study 1 purposed to analyze the confirmatory factor, two hundred and fifty-eight university students completed the relational self-esteem scale. The result shows high internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha of .79. In addition, results from the confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit. Study 2 aimed to examine the concurrent validity, one hundred and fifty university students completed the relational self-esteem scale and the personal self-esteem scale. Concurrent validity was confirmed, i.e. relational self-esteem positively related with personal self-esteem.
