Abstract

The study aimed to translate and legalize the Self-Evaluation Scale-Self-Report (SES-S), which was prepared by Erford 2017. And to verify its psychometric properties and suitability to be used in the Kuwaiti environment. The study aimed also to determine the scale's validity for measuring gender differences in the degree of Self Evaluation. The validity of the scale, the clarity of its phrases and the scale’s suitability for the study sample were verified through applying the scale to a pilot sample of (100) male and female students from the eighth and ninth grades enrolled in government intermediate schools. Whereas the sample of the study consisted of (253) male and female students from the eighth, ninth and tenth grades enrolled in government intermediate and secondary schools, where the number of males reached (100) and the number of females (153), their average age was 14.01 and a standard deviation 706.
The results showed that the scale had high reliability indications by the Cronbach alpha and Split-half reliability. The validity of the scale was also verified in a variety of ways, first: Inter-rater Validity in which (87%) was the percentage of the arbitrators' agreement on the scale's statements. Second, the discriminatory ability of the scale where all the values were in all the sub-dimensions and the grand total are statistically significant at the level (0.001), which are good validity indicators. In addition to calculating the internal consistency of each component by finding the correlation coefficient of each item with the total sum of the component, and the correlation coefficient of the total sum of the subcomponents with the total of the scale by using a correlation coefficient Pearson, and all the components were statistically significant at the .01 level. The results also showed the ability of the scale to differentiate between males and females in the degree of self-evaluation.
