DESCRIPTION:

Battle's Self-Esteem Inventory for Children (SEIC) is a 50-item self report instrument intended to assess a child's self-esteem. It was adapted by Dr. Anand Kumar for Indian children in 2005. The Indian Adaptation measures a child's self-esteem along 4 dimensions- General Self-esteem, Social Self-esteem, Academic Self-esteem, and Parental Self-esteem. The SEIC consists of items that yield an overall score and four separate scores representing specific aspects of self-esteem, namely, general self, social self, home self, and academic self. It can be used as a screening device to identify children in need of psychological assistance.
