This study investigated adolescents' self-concept and the relation of self concept to sex, impact of physical disability, and the obviousness of the disability. It was hypothesized that the three variables would significantly interact. To form criterion groups according to self-perceived physical problems, a scale, Major Medical Problem, was constructed and administered to 382 male and female high school juniors. Significant interaction effects were demonstrated between sex and impact on the three self-concept dimensions (real, acceptance, and ideal) and a significant triple interaction among sex, obviousness, and impact on the three measures and on social desirability. Results suggested greatest impact on self concept occurred for adolescent females with physical problems of high impact and visibility. Implications of the findings were discussed within the context of Friedenberg's concept of sex-differentiated, adolescent needs for competence.

Mean Differences

The Brownfain Self-rating Inventory and Religiosity Index were administered to high school juniors, 46 males and 66 females. Correlations between scores on the two inventories were significant for males (.41, p < .01) but not for females ( r = .22). Subjects were divided into high and low groups on the Self-rating Inventory (self-concept). The high group scores were .5 SD above the mean and low group .5 SD below. Mean differences on the Religiosity Index for two groups were significant for males ( p < .01) but not females. Results suggest that male adolescents with positive self-reports score higher on religiosity than those with low self-reports but not female adolescents.

Youth Assets

Youth internal assets and external resources are protective factors that can help youth avoid potentially harmful behaviors. This study investigates how the relationship between youth assets or resources and two sexual risk behaviors (ever had sex and birth control use) varied by gender. Data were collected through in-home interviews from parent—adolescent dyads, including 1,219 females and 1,116 males. Important differences exist between male and female adolescents. Females with the nonparental role models or the family communication resource were more likely to report never having had sexual intercourse than were females without the resources. Among males, the aspirations for the future and responsible choices assets were associated with never having had sexual intercourse. Males and females had two assets or resources in common that were protective of never having had sex: peer role models and use of time (religion). Considering which youth assets and resources are more likely to positively influence sexual behaviors of males and females may be important when planning prevention programs with youth.

This study extends previous psychosocial literature (Bandura et al., 2001, 2003) by examining a structural model of the self-regulatory mechanisms governing the acceptability and likelihood of cheating in a sport context. Male and female adolescents (N = 804), aged 15–20 years, took part in this study. Negative affective self-regulatory efficacy influenced the acceptability and likelihood of cheating through the mediating role of moral disengagement, in females and males. Affective efficacy positively influenced prosocial behavior through moral disengagement or through resistive self-regulatory efficacy and social efficacy, in both groups. The direct effects of affective efficacy on beliefs about cheating were only evident in females. These results extend the findings of Bandura et al. (2001, 2003) to the sport context and suggest that affective and resistive self-regulatory efficacy operate in concert in governing adolescents’ moral disengagement and transgressive behaviors in sport.
