Скали за измерване на чувството за себеприемане и приемане от другите
Scales for measuring the sense of self-acceptance and acceptance by others

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to present the psychometric characteristics of two newly constructed scales on self-affirmation and affirmation of or from others. These scales can measure the social adaptation abilities or disabilities to a considerate degree. The first scale measures self-acceptance or the degree to which a person likes and accepts him/herself; the second measures to what extent the person is accepted by the others, or to what degree the person considers him/ herself appreciated and valued by the others. The scales have been applied on 393 people aged between 18 and 72 (M = 31; SD = 10). Based on the conducted latter analyses, it has been established hat the instrument has double factor structure, with high internal consistency. Through correlation analyses a moderate positive relationship between self-acceptance and acceptance by others is found. In addition, regression analysis reveals that a sense of self-acceptance has a moderate impact on the acceptance from others. In this sense, self-acceptance is a significant condition for the acceptance by others. Therefore, if the person accepts its positive and negative sides, it will be widely accepted and appreciated by others.
