**THIS WORKSHEET INCLUDES GUIDING QUESTIONS FOR STEPS 1 AND 2 OF YOUR FINAL PROJECTSAVE IT!!**

Questions pertaining to construct:

1. What construct are you going to measure?self-esteem

1. What is your definition of this construct? The definition should NOT just be one sentence from an online dictionary. Draw from your peer-reviewed sources and consider including characteristics of a person who would be high and low on this construct. This descriptive definition will help you write better items.Our definition of self esteem is how we perceive ourselves and how confident we have in ourselves and our abilities.

1. What sources did you use to arrive at this definition? This may include peer-reviewed articles, the dictionary, portrayals of your trait on TV or in books, or group discussion. Describe your process for deciding upon this definition. Was there any disagreement among sources? If so, explain why you decided to define the construct as you did.We defined self esteem by group discussion. Our process for deciding upon this definition was based on what we already knew about self esteem and how we could apply it with our construct.

1. Is this construct unidimensional or multidimensional? If multidimensional, what would you name the underlying dimensions of the construct (each dimension should have a name)? Define each dimension. Will you focus on just one dimension or all? If you are only going to measure one specific aspect of your construct, answer the next questions with that specific aspect in mind.Self esteem is multidimensional. One dimension would be self-worth

Self-worth is defined as how secure you are within yourself. Depending on how much you allow people to treat you shows how much self-worth you have.

1. What other constructs should your construct be similar to? This will be used to establish convergent validity. Please also provide your rationale (preferably citing an empirical article).Confidence

1. Despite the fact that your construct is related to the construct(s) you mentioned in question 5, now state how they are distinct. That is, why is your construct unique? If it isn't unique, then you may not need to measure this new construct.Self-esteem is how you perceive your values and self-worth. Confidence is a person's attitude about their capabilities and skills.

1. What other constructs should your construct NOT be related to? This will be used to establish discriminant validity. Please also provide your rationale (preferably citing an empirical article).self doubt

Questions pertaining to test development:

9 What is the intended context of the test you will create? Examples: Just for research, for hiring decisions, for admittance into a scholarship program. Explain your rationale.

10 How many items will you include in your survey initially? How many items do you ideally want for the final survey? Explain your rationale.

11 You have to use closed-ended questions. How many response options will you provide (e.g., 5-point or 7-point Likert scales)? Why? Will you include any open-ended questions?

12 What will the wording of your response options be? Rememberdon't use agree-disagree scales. Your response options should be consistent across your items.

13 Write your instructions to participants.

14 Start to draft items! One thought is for each member of your group to draft 5 items individually and then come together to discuss. Remember that your response options need to be the same across items, so make sure you're all working with the same response options in mind.
