Abstract

This Study aimed at constructing the self-scale for university students. To achieve the objectives of the study a preliminary Likert Scale of (127) items was Constructed. The Scale was administered to an convenience sample consisting of (753) male and female students. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that (48) items fit the measurement model suggested, which consists of eight factors: positive self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-worth, self-regulation, self-actualization and acceptance, self-management, and self-monitoring. The results indicated that it finds form exemplifies Suitable Psychometric Properties. A reliability coefficient of the internal consistency of the scale using Cronbach's alpha equation was (0.95).  The Scale also has Several Validity indicators. The results showed that the measurement invariance (configural, metric, scalar) verification across gender and the faculty was at the same level of confidence and credibility.
