The responses of 268 Hong Kong and 399 Nigerian first- or second-year social science undergraduate university students to the Personal and Academic Self-Concept Inventory (PASCI; Fleming & Whalen, 1990) were compared to previously reported findings with similar groups of American and Nepalese students. Country × Gender analyses indicated clear, statistically significant mnain and interaction effects which varied according to the area of self-esteem under investigation. Support was found for the tendency found in research with secondary school students for subjects from non-Western cultures to report higher academic but lower nonacademic self-esteem than their Western peers. However, the gender differences did not generalize across cultures.

The research objective of this study is to contribute to description of possible relations between self-image and coping with stressful situations in adolescence (secondary school and university students, N = 101). Emotional aspect of self-image or self-evaluation but also conative aspect or self-efficacy appear to represent parameters which are up to some extent related to choice of particular strategies of coping with stress (Tobin’s Coping Strategy Inventory). Research results show also certain development and gender differences in observed parameters.
