Abstract Adolescents’ Self-Concept Short Scale (Veiga& Leite, 2016) was devised to measure self-concept among adolescents. Present study was aimed to translate the scale into Urdu language and validate the underlying factors among adolescents of Pakistan. It comprised of three main phases. Phase-I underlies the translation through forward-back translation method, followed by the cross-language validation study. The translated and the original version were administered on bilingual secondary school students (N=100) and reliability was estimated that ranges from .39 to .71 for translated version. Phase-II aimed to establish the construct validity by using Exploratory Factor Analysis on adolescent students (N=150) with age range of 13 to 16 years (M=14.53; SD=1.02). Results showed four main factors, instead of six factors of original scale. Finally, Phase-III of the research aimed to confirm the factorial validity through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on sample of secondary school adolescent students (N=300) age ranges from 13 to 18 years (M= 15.46; SD=1.23). Findings thus suggested that Adolescents’ Self-Concept Short Scale - Urdu version can be utilized as a valid and reliable measure for the assessment of self-concept among adolescent students with understandability of Urdu language.

In order to evaluate the hypothesis that there is no difference in the self-concept of adolescent students from single sex and co- educational high schools, the investigator conducted a study on 60 subjects (30 boys and 30 girls) out of which 30 subjects were from single sex schools and remaining were from the co- educational school. The measurement was done using the Self-concept Rating Checklist by Dr. Pratibha Deo which contains 90 adjectives describing a person’s self-concept. The result shows that adolescent students from co- educational schools have a better self-concept as compared to the adolescent students from single sex schools. When the various dimensions were analyzed, it was found that the boys from co- educational schools had better aesthetic and character dimensions while the girls from the co- educational schools were found to be better in social and intellectual dimensions.

The present study focused on parenting styles and its impact on the self-concept of secondary school students. The sample consisted of 200 adolescent students of class 9th and 10th of schools of Pathankot city. Data was analysed by using correlation and hierarchical multiple regression. Moderate and significant correlations were observed between parenting styles (democratic, autocratic and accepting) and self-concept of the adolescents. To detect the overall effect of gender as moderator in the relationship between parenting styles and self-concept of adolescents, the R2 values of the regression model that included parenting styles, i.e. democratic, autocratic and accepting and their interactions with gender was compared with the regression model having parenting styles without interaction terms. No significant interaction effect of gender of adolescent and parenting styles (democratic, autocratic and accepting) was observed in the analysis. Democratic parenting style was the strongest predictor of self-concept among adolescents. Parents must be taught that parenting should involve an appropriate balance of warmth and restrictiveness.
