Personal and Academic Self-Concept Inventory

24 prison inmates who participated in a psychotherapy program were compared on a self-concept inventory with 19 inmates who did not participate. Self-esteem was defined in terms of the discrepancy between actual-self and ideal-self measures. The greater the discrepancy, the lower the self-esteem. A significant number of Ss in the therapeutic program showed reduction in the discrepancy score after 1 yr. in the program, while the non-therapy Ss showed a slight, but nonsignificant, increase.

Self Confidence

Ninety-four gifted children and 200 nongifted children (aged 9 to 13 years old) were involved in the present study. Their self-concept was assessed by the Revised Song-Hattie Self-Concept Inventory (Zhou & He, 1996). Academic self-concepts pertaining to abilities, school achievements, and grade concepts and nonacademic self-concepts pertaining to family, peers, body, and self-confidence concepts, as well as self-concept in general, were considered in the present study. The findings indicated that the development of self-concept in gifted children was different from that of nongifted children. Specifically, the self-concept scores in general of nongifted children increased from 11 to 13 years old, while those of gifted children decreased for the same age period. Both academic and nonacademic self-concepts are discussed in the present study.

Verbal Test

The present report describes a comparison of the criterion-related validity of a verbal (sentence-completion test) and of a non-verbal (pictorial) measure of self-concept. Following teacher ratings of 1,042 kindergarten children, high and low self-concept criterion groups were established (25 highest boys and girls and 25 lowest boys and girls). Each child was administered the Quantified Self-concept Inventory (Wattenberg & Clifford, 1962) and a new non-verbal test. Congruence was noted between teachers' ratings of kindergarten children's self-concepts and as assessed by a non-verbal instrument, the U-scale. Verbal devices such as sentence-completion tests have little validity at the kindergarten level.
