The purpose of this study is to develop the Two-Item Self-Esteem scale (TISE) and to investigate its reliability and validity. The TISE consists of two aspects of self-esteem concept: one is a self-evaluation
 and the other is a self-acceptance. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by positive high correlations between the TISE and pre-existing self-esteem scales (i.e.
 Rosenberg's self-esteem scale). Construct validity was established by correlations between the TISE and criterion scales
 including competence (i.e.
 narcissistic competence scale)
 subjective well-being (satisfaction with life scale)
 and positive/negative emotions (i.e.
 positive and negative affect schedule scales). The TISE and the Rosenberg's self-esteem scale had nearly identical correlations with these criterion scales. Test?retest reliability was confirmed at a both three-week and four-month interval. This study showed that the TISE is a reliable and valid scale to measure self-esteem with two aspects.
