Method:
The sample consisted of 1,155 secondary school students from public schools in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, Spain. After the exploratory and confirmatory analyses, a structure composed of 30 items divided into 5 factors was.
Results:
This design showed excellent goodness-of-fit indices as well as good internal reliability indicators (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.76 - 0.88).
Conclusion:
Therefore, this scale can be considered as a tool to assess the self-concept of high school students in a quick and easy way.
