This study aimed at adapting the Collective Self-Esteem Scale (CSES) to the Brazilian context, gathering evidence of its factorial validity and reliability. Two studies were carried out. In Study 1, 497 university students participated, most of them males (51.5%), with a mean age of 21 years. They answered the CSES and sociodemographic questions. Results supported the original model with four oblique self-esteem factors, which presented Cronbach’s alphas ranging from 0.53 (public) to 0.82 (private). In Study 2 participants were 391 people from the general population, who answered the CSES and sociodemographic questions, being predominantly male (60.9%), with a mean age of 23 years. Results corroborated the adequacy of the factorial structure previously indicated, whose factors presented Cronbach’s alphas between 0.59 (public) and 0.85 (private). In conclusion, although it can be considered a total score of this measure of collective self-esteem, which presented satisfactory reliability in the two studies (α = 0.80 and 0.84, respectively), it is possible to also consider its specific factors, as proposed by authors of this scale.
