Self-Esteem Waves 1 to 3

**Please send corrections or edits to Kali Trzesniewski (ktrz@ucdavis.edu)**

**Note, the question wording changes in Wave 3 to ask participants to rate their self-esteem across the past 7 days**

**Note, two items were drop in Wave 3. Below are two ways to calculate self-esteem; one using the four nonvariant items and one using all available items across all waves**
