Abstract

An attempt was made to standardise a High School version of the LAWSEQ self-esteem measure on a sample of High School students (N = 745). Similar norms were obtained to the original LAWSEQ standardised on a primary polulation (N = 15,000). No sex-differences were observed. Reliability coefficients indicate that the High School Version could be used reliably up to year 11.
