| Annotation | The development of a Self-Evaluation Scale of Life Function (SELF), a 54-item, multidimensional, self-report scale to measure physical, emotional and social function is described in regard to reliability, validity and factor structure. The scale appears to measure the following dimensions: physical disability, symptoms of ageing, self-esteem, social satisfaction, depression and personal control. The scale was derived from two studies of 826 people aged 60 and over. The scale is recommended when a comprehensive, relatively short, self-report assessment is needed for screening or research purposes. (RH). |
