Concurrent Validity of the Culture-Free Self-Esteem Inventory and Physical Health in College Students

Abstract

55 college students received the Culture-free Self-esteem Inventory and a 13-item measure of physical health; significant Pearson correlations (generally in the .40s) were found on all but one subscale of the self-concept measure and the health measure. The results are in line with research using other measures of self-esteem and physical health and suggest that the self-esteem inventory may be useful as a research measure.
