Implication

Psychometric validation study confirms strong reliability and a single-factor structure for the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale in married women, supporting its use in regional psychological assessment.

Key Points

To translate, culturally adapt, and psychometrically validate the Bangla version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES-BV) for married women of reproductive age.
Administered the Bangla-adapted Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, translated using World Health Organization guidelines, to married women aged 15–49 in Dhaka, Bangladesh (N = 625).
Evaluated psychometric performance using Item Response Theory with a Graded Response Model, internal consistency metrics, and both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.
Exploratory factor analysis identified a unidimensional 10-item construct explaining 69.32% of total variance.
Confirmatory factor analysis verified excellent model fit (CFI = 0.980, TLI = 0.971, RMSEA = 0.053, SRMR = 0.015) with high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.884) and satisfactory item discrimination.
