| 4.3. The Emergence of Emotional Self
In their doctoral theses, Dang Hoang Minh [4] and Trinh Thi Linh [20] used ETES to measure self-esteem of Vietnamese adolescents but both these studies did not record the level of self-esteem of this group of subjects in the aspect of emotional self. We wondered if this was due to the fact that the number of sub- jects was not big enough or due to limitations of the conducting process. These assumptions give us huge concerns. According to developmental psychologists, there are important emotional changes in the period of adolescence. Under- standing the level of adolescents’ self-esteem in this area may allow us to under- stand more about children in this transitional period. Moreover, even though Vietnamese people in general and Vietnamese adolescents in particular don’t have the habit of expressing emotions with others, it does not mean that the emotional self cannot be measured in these subjects. This assumption was con- firmed by the results of our research. In other words, the emotional self appears to be an independent factor besides other factors that we obtain in this study. This also proves the assumption that we have made about the size of the sample group of previous research. 5. Conclusion This study adapted ETES to the context of Vietnamese culture and tested the re- liability and validity of this new version of ETES, which is used for Vietnamese population and named EVES. The reliability and validity indices of EVES are acceptable. From a general perspective of reliability such as IC and validity such as EFA result, EVES can be used for researching purposes in the field of psy- chology in Vietnam.
