Bu çalışma, Kısa Form Coopersmith Benlik Saygısı Envanteri'nin (SEI) psikometrik özelliklerini Türkiye ve İngiltere'deki ortaokul öğrencileri arasında araştırmaktadır. Yaygın olarak kullanılan bir benlik saygısı ölçeği olan SEI, yaşları 11 ila 14 arasında değişen toplam 2388 öğrenciye İngiltere'de, 3506 öğrenciye ise Türkiye'de uygulanmıştır. Çalışma, benlik saygısı puanlarındaki cinsiyet farklılıklarına odaklanarak SEI'nin her iki ülkedeki güvenilirliğini ve geçerliliğini incelemiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, SEI'nin hem İngilizce hem de Türkçe versiyonlarının tatmin edici bir iç tutarlılık güvenilirliği gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. İngiltere'de cinsiyetler arasında önemli bir farklılık gözlenirken, Türkiye'de böyle bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir. Bulgular, SEI'nin farklı kültürel bağlamlarda benlik saygısını ölçmek için güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermekte ve benlik saygısı araştırmalarında kültürel faktörlerin dikkate alınmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışma, ergenler arasında benlik saygısının anlaşılmasına önemli bir katkı sağlamakta ve cinsiyet ve kültürel farklılıkların benlik saygısı gelişimi üzerindeki etkisine dair içgörüler sunmaktadır.

Exploring Secondary School Students’ Self-Esteem: A Comparative Empirical Study in Türkiye and England

This study investigates the psychometric properties of the Short Form Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) among secondary school students in Turkey and England. The SEI, a widely utilised measure of self-esteem, was administered to a total of 2388 students in England and 3506 students in Turkey, with ages ranging from 11 to 14 years. The study examined the reliability and validity of the SEI in both countries, with a focus on gender differences in self-esteem scores. The findings of the study suggest that both the English and Turkish versions of the SEI demonstrate satisfactory internal consistency reliability. While a significant gender disparity was observed in England, no such disparities were identified in Turkey. The findings suggest that the SEI is a reliable tool for measuring self-esteem in diverse cultural contexts and highlight the importance of considering cultural factors in self-esteem research. This study makes a significant contribution to the understanding of self-esteem among adolescents and provides insights into the impact of gender and cultural differences on self-esteem development.
