The techniques used to examine the psychometric properties of instruments that measure concepts where individual responses are aggregated to form an index describing a group level phenomenon are reviewed. This examination includes assessing the content validity of items to determine how well they measure group level concepts as well as analyzing reliability and validity at the aggregated rather than individual level. Additional techniques to test for within and between group variability are presented. The latter approaches are useful in determining the consistency and adequacy of individual responses at the group level.

1. Many people with mental illness experience low self-esteem. They tend to minimize their own positive attributes, strengths, and abilities, making it difficult to accept positive feedback. 2. As an alternative to the one-to-one relationship, the Self-Esteem Group provides a situation in which self-esteem can be increased through constructive social interactions, trust, and support from group members. 3. Structured exercises, which encourage sharing and development of positive aspects of self, were completed by group members during each session. These exercises made it easier for group members to focus ideas, feelings, and experiences related to the topic for discussion.
