Berger measures self-acceptance through 36 self-reflective statements. Respondents rate how true each statement is about themselves on a 5-point scale. Items include difficulty believing praise, sensitivity to criticism, social anxiety, feelings of inferiority, and tendencies to avoid or judge the self. Scoring sums all items and applies reverse scoring to selected questions. Higher total scores indicate greater self-acceptance, with score ranges distinguishing negative, average, and high self-acceptance levels.","5= Not at all true of myself  \n4= Slightly true of myself  \n3= About halfway true of myself  \n2= Mostly true of myself  \n1= True of myself  \n  1. I’d like it ifI could find someone who would tell me how to solve my  \npersonal problems.  \n  2. I don’t question my worth as a person, even if I think others do.  \n  3. When people say nice things about me, I find it difficult to believe they  \nreally mean it. I think maybe they are kidding me or just aren’t being sincere   4. If there is any criticism or anyone says anything about me, I can’t take it.  \n  5. I don’t say much at social affairs because I’m afraid that people will criticize  \nme or laugh if I say the wrong thing.  \n  6. I realize that I’m not living very effectively, but I just don’t believe I’ve got  \nit in me to use my energies in better ways.  \n  7. I look on most of the feelings and impulses I have towards people as being  \nquite natural and acceptable.  \n  8. Something inside me just won’t let me be satisfied wit any job I’ve done-if  \nit turns out well, I get a smug feeling this is beneath me, this isn’t a fair test.   9. I feel different from other people. I’d like to have the feeling of security that  \ncomes from knowing I’m not too different from everyone else.  \n  10. I’m afraid for people that I like to find out what I’m really like, for fear  \nthey’d be disappointed in me.   11. I am frequently bothered by feelings of inferiority.  \n  12. Because of others, I haven’t been able to achieve as much as I should have.  \n  13. I am quite shy and self-conscious in social situations.  \n  14. In order to get along and be liked, I tend to be what others expect me to be.  \n  15. I seem to have a real inner strength in handling things. I’m on a pretty solid  \nfoundation and it makes me pretty sure of myself.  \n  16. I feel self-conscious when I’m with people who have a superior position to  \nmine in business or in school.  \n  17. I think I’m neurotic.  \n  18. Very often, I don’t try to be friendly with people because I think they won’t like me.  \n  19. I feel that I’m a person of worth, on an equal plane with others.  \n  20. I can’t avoid feeling guilty about the way I feel toward certain people in my  \nlife.  \n  21. I’m not afraid of meeting new people. I feel that I’m a worthwhile person  \nand there’s no reason why they should dislike me.  \n  22. I sort of only half believe in myself.  \n  23. I’m very sensitive. People say things and I think they’re criticizing or  \ninsulting me, and later when I think about it, they may not have meant anything like that at all.  \n  24. I think I have certain abilities and other people say so too. I wonder if I’m  \nnot giving them an importance way beyond what they deserve.  \n  25. I feel confident that I can do something about the problems that may arise in  \nthe future.  \n  26. I guess I put on a show to impress people. I know I’m not the person I  \npretend to be.  \n  27. I don’t worry or condemn myself if other people pass judgment against me.  \n  28. I don’t feel very normal, but I want to feel normal.  \n  29. When I’m in a group, I usually don’t say much for fear of saying the wrong  \nthing.  \n  30. I have a tendency to sidestep my problems.  \n  31. Even when people do think well of me, I feel sort of guilty because I know I  \nmust be fooling them.  \n  32. I feel that I’m on the same level as others, and that helps to establish good  \nrelations with them.  \n  33. I feel that people are apt to react differently to me than they would normally  \nreact to other people.   34. I live too much by other people’s standards.  \n  35. When I have to address a group, I get self-conscious and have difficultly  \nsaying things well.  \n  36. If I didn’t always have such hard luck, I’d accomplish much more than I  \nhave.  \nSource: From Berger, E.M. (1950). Acceptance of Self Scale.
