B/G-Steem a self-esteem scale with locus of control by Maines and

[Guest guest]

Dear Sharman

The above is a scale I have used with children aged 5-11 years very successfully it is produced by Lucky Duck publishing by Barbara Maines and .

It is a combined self-esteem and loucs of control scale that has been developed and standardised in British schools on a population of pupils aged six to 13 years. Special attention has been paid to the use of clear and simple language and the scale only requires Yes/No responses. Some younger children in reception did require some help from the teacher with it. It is available in 2 forms paper and pencil tick sheets or computer presentation, text and voice with automatic scoring (individual only).

We used it for evaluating changes in children who were participating in an emotional health and literacy course.

It was very easy to use and there were different ones for boys and girls in primary and secondary education, There were 20 simple questions that simply required a yes or no answer.

Details are available on Sage, Amazon and Lucky Duck publishing if you want to know more. The educational psychologists I work with use it a lot.

Best wishesMaggie
