Abstract

The present study shows the results of reliability and validity analysis of the instrument proposed by Nola Pender to measure Rosenberg's lifestyle and self-esteem scale (EAR). The pilot study was carried out with a sample of 60 students from the Rubén Darío University Campus. The results confirm a high internal consistency and a satisfactory temporal reliability. Likewise, the data support the validity (of the construct and of known groups) of the instrument. The easy application of this test and its acceptable psychometric characteristics constitute an important support for its use in university contexts.
