Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Slovene version of the Self-Consciousness Scale SCS (Fenigstein, Carver, & Buss, 1975). Although the questionnaire was translated and published in Psihodiagnostika osebnosti (Lamovec, 1994), its psychometric characteristics have not been examined so far. Results on a sample of 361 students (189 men and 172 women) showed that the Slovene version of the questionnaire had factor validity and reliability comparable to those found in the English version. In general, the results supported three-factor solution proposed by the authors. However, some of the items in the subscales did not load as expected and alternative translations for two of the items are proposed.
