The purpose of this investigation was to find out the significant relationship between Self-concept and achievement motivation of high school students and also tried to measure the self-concept and achievement motivation in relation to gender. For the purpose of the present study 400 (200 boys, 200 girls) students of high school were selected randomly from four different schools of Aligarh (UP) within the age range of 16-17 years. To assess the self concept of high school students Self-Concept Questionnaire developed by Dr. R. K. Saraswat (1984) was used which provides six dimensions viz. physical, social, intellectual, moral, educational, and temperamental as well as a total self-concept score. The achievement motivation of high school students was measured by the Achievement Motivation (n-Ach) Scale developed by Dr. Pratibha Deo and Asha Mohan (1985). Pearson’s product moment co-efficient correlation was applied to investigate the relationship between self-concept and achievement motivation; t-test was applied to see the differences between mean scores of girls and boys on self-concept and achievement motivation. One of the findings of the study showed a significant positive correlation existed between self concept and achievement motivation of high school students. Another finding of the study revealed that there was no significant gender differences existed on total self-concept, physical self-concept, intellectual self-concept, educational self-concept and temperamental self-concept.

This study investigated the relationship between level of self-concept and personality factors in 130 high school students, using as self-concept measures, subtests from the Index of Adjustment and Values, the Self-esteem Inventory, and the Tennessee Self-concept Scale, and using the High School Personality Questionnaire as a measure of personality factors. A general self-concept factor was derived, through factor analysis, from the self-concept subtests and then two groups of subjects were identified as high or low on this general factor. A sex by group by subtest analysis of variance indicated a significant group by subtest interaction, suggesting that the questionnaire can be used to identify students with high and low self-concepts. Low self-concept subjects were more anxious and introverted than high self-concept subjects, who were less anxious and more extroverted.

Self-concept is the awareness of a person of himself/herself based on his/her experiences, knowledge, body image, skills and in the way they tend to identify themselves in different situations, Meanwhile environment is where the students interact with others and spend most of their time. Environment is also where the students learn and gain experiences. Family, friends and peers are the people who the students communicate with, the people where they share their personal experiences and the people they mostly along with. The researchers used a survey questionnaire as a tool to be answered by the Senior High School students in Jagobiao National High School the data gathered will be treated using the weighted mean, frequency, percentage and lambda to determine their correlation. The influence of the variables are noticeable not significant to each other. It means that if they don’t develop their self-concept environmentally and innately, there are other factors that develop the achievement of the students on the concept of the self.

Current research has shown that there is a separation of the competence and affect components of academic self-concept on the Self-Description Questionnaire (SDQ) II in Western culture. However, no studies have investigated the competence-affect separation for the Math and Verbal scales of the SDQ II in Chinese samples. The present study examines such separation in a sample of 480 Chinese high school students and provides strong support for the competence-affect separation on the Math and Verbal scales of the Chinese version of the SDQ II. Implications are discussed.
