Abstract EN

Despite the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) is a widely used measure since a long period, disagreement remains regarding its factor structure.Therefore, the present study aimedto examine the factor structureof the (RSES) in Algeria and the measurement invariance of the English and Arabic versions of (RSES)using two groups.One from Algeria (n=403), mean age 22.33 and the second from the USA (n=376), mean age 20.42.

Three alternative factor models were tested .Fit indices indicated that the two-factor model (positive and negative self-esteem) has a better fit for the data than the two other models (one-factor and Bifactor models).

This model can be considered factorially invariant and has a partial weak invariance between the two groups.

Thus, we conclude that the English and Arabic versions of (RSES) do not exhibit measurement invariance.
