Psychometric validation of the Core Self-Evaluations Scale in @entity1 with XXXX .

@entity1 @entity12740 @entity1566
PURPOSE: @entity12740 ( @entity12740 ) are the perceptions that @entity1 have about their overall worth and capability. @entity12740 may be a useful global indicator of adaptation to disability and subjective well-being. The Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) is the most common direct measure of @entity12740 , but its use with @entity1 with disabilities has not been validated. This study aims to evaluate the factorial and concurrent validity of the CSES in @entity1 with @entity1566 . METHOD: Two hundred forty-seven individuals with @entity1566 completed an online survey consisting of the CSES, measures of the four @entity12740 traits, and selected psychosocial variables. RESULTS: Confirmatory factor analysis results provide support for the one-factor measurement structure of the CSES. When correlated with selected psychosocial variables, the CSES was found to perform in a similar fashion to an indirect measure of @entity12740 constructed from measures of the individual @entity12740 traits. CONCLUSIONS: The CSES demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties, and its use as a brief, cost-effective measure of @entity12740 in rehabilitation research and practice is supported. Implications for Rehabilitation @entity12740 ( @entity12740 ) are the perceptions that @entity1 have about their overall worth and capability, and the construct has promise as a global indicator of adaptation to disability and subjective well-being in rehabilitation research and practice. The Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) is a brief, valuable and cost-effective instrument that can be easily used in both rehabilitation research and practice and has the potential to reduce burden associated with client/ @entity1 assessment. This study provided evidence of the factorial and concurrent validity of the CSES in @entity1 with @entity1566 , and supports its use in rehabilitation settings.
