Tennessee Self Concept Scale

101 male college students were administered the Franck Drawing Completion Test and Tennessee Self-concept Scale to determine to what degree the self-concept and sexual identification are related. It was hypothesized that individuals with clearer sexual identification have more positive self-concepts. The results did not support the hypothesis, because the correlations were nonsignificant. The reasons were evaluated, among which the possibility that the self-concept scale lacks validity was given a more prominent consideration.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

This study was designed to examine the effects of cognitive information regarding fitness and nutrition on the self-concept of college students. 126 college students were administered the Tennessee Self-concept Scale; 52 were enrolled in a fitness and nutrition lecture class and the other 74 had never had such a class. The 15 highest and 15 lowest scorers in each group of subjects on the combined personal and physical subscale scores of the Tennessee Self-concept Scale were utilized for the analyses. A 2 × 2 (self-concept × group) analysis of variance showed a significant difference between the gain scores of the high and low self-concept individuals for both the physical and personal self-concept analyses, respectively, with the low self-concept subjects showing the largest improvement. No significant group or interaction effects were found for the physical and personal self-concept analyses of variance. Two independent t tests were used to examine differences between high and low self-concept individuals enrolled in the fitness and nutrition class, and the results supported the earlier findings using the analyses. These findings suggest that instruction regarding fitness and nutrition can influence the self-concepts of college students, particularly those with low self-esteem.

Sensation Seeking Scale ◽  
Male College Students

Sex of respondent and the respondent's self-concept of sex-role, as measured by the Bem (1974) scale, were correlated with scores on subscales of the Sensation-seeking Scale for a sample of 96 female and 96 male college students. Also, sex-role self-concept was correlated with aspects of sensation-seeking within each sex. For the combined sample, sex-role self-concept was significantly more related to scores on the sensation-seeking scales than sex of respondent for four of the five subscales. Within both samples, sex-role self-concept was negatively and significantly correlated with sensation-seeking. Regardless of the sex of respondent, those individuals who endorsed a greater number of feminine than masculine personality characteristics as self-descriptive indicated lower levels of sensation-seeking.

The present study sought to determine whether level of political activism of 126 male college students mediates the relationship between political ideology and self-concept. The expected interactions did not obtain; however, both ideology and activism were significantly related to self-concept, with liberals and activists indicating more positive self-regard.

Over Time

This study integrates the theory of multiple selves within the theoretical framework of dynamic motivational activation (DMA) to identify the dynamic patterns of multiple self-concepts (i.e., the potential self, the actual self) in multitasking (e.g., primary and secondary activities) in daily life. A three-week experience sampling study was conducted on college students. Dynamic panel modeling results suggest that the self-concepts are both sustaining and shifting in daily activities and media activities. Specifically, the potential and actual selves sustained themselves over time in primary and secondary activities, but they also shifted from one to another to achieve a balance in primary activities over time. Interestingly, secondary activities were not driven by the alternative self-concept in primary activities, but instead, by the emotional experiences of primary activities. Furthermore, the findings identified that multitasking to fulfill their actual self did not motivate people to re-prioritize their potential self later.
