Despite an ample study and analysis of Self concept and Self esteem, not a solitary deconstructive work has been done on the Effect of Self concept on Self esteem. So, this study aimed at the disclosure of all the ways through which self concept affects the self esteem among university students. The research method applied on the paper was quantitative. The study adopted a Multiple Self Concept Scale byBruce A. Bracken and Rosenberg’s Self- esteems scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The collected data analysis was accomplished statistically using the t-test and coefficient of correlation techniques. A sample of 250 students comprised of 75 males and 175 females was taken from BZU Multan. The inferences of the study conceded that Self Concept has a significant effect on Self esteem among university adults. Besides, the research inquiry brought the fact to light that there is, no doubt, a significant disparity of influences of self concept on self esteem between male and female.

Gender Specific

The research was designed to study the Gender related activities i.e. those activities which are stereotypically related to girls and boys and their relationship with the self concept of adolescents. The data was collected from a sample of Adolescents girls and boys between age ranging from (16-20) years belonging to same family. Total number of families included for the data collection was 50. (i.e. Adolescents = 100) An Activity Scale by Terry Honess (1994) was used to see what kind of activities girls and boys are allowed/ accepted to perform. The activity scale had three types of activities, activities and tasks that are considered as male oriented, secondly female oriented and those which are neutral (both male and female are accepted to perform). In order to measure self concept of male and female adolescents the self concept scale (Urdu Adjective Checklist UACL; Ansari et.al. 1982) was used. Results indicated that boys and girls perform gender specific activities. The self concept of girls was significantly low on self concept scale as compared to the boys. Out of nine dimensions of the self concept scale Adolescents’ boys score significantly high on Aggression, Autonomy, Affiliation and Dominance. On the other hand females scored higher on Succorance and Abasement dimensions. These findings show cultural stereotypes in different walks of life. It also reveals that the self concept has a strong relationship with the freedom of movement and expression of young boys and girls. Results are discussed and conclusions are drawn keeping in perspective the cultural expectations and stereo types and its impact on the self concept of young boys and girls.

ntroduction: practising sport contributes tothe reinforcement of important psychological features such as self-perception of competence, especially when participants are children from socially vulnerable contexts. Objective: to compare the socially vulnerablechildren’s self-perception of competence, assisted and unassisted by social sports projects. Method: a total of 235 children (male and female), aged between seven and tenyears, participated in this comparative study. They were divided into two groups: onegroup was formed by 106 children participating in social sports projects;the other was 129 children who did not participate in socialsports projects. The self-perception of competence was assessed by the Brazilian version of the Self-Perception Profile for Children. We used a three-way ANOVA to assess the possible interaction effect between gender, age and group (children assisted and unassisted) in the different dimensions of perceived competence. Results: The children attending sports projects reported higher overall self-worth (F(1.234)) = 6.132, p = 0.014, η2 = 0.026). It was observed that there was an effect of interaction between the variable age x group (F(1.234)) = 6.673, p = 0.010, η2 = 0.029) on the self-perception of social acceptance. There were no significant effects of group on the other dimensions of self-perception of competence. Conclusion: the children participatingin social sports projects showed more self-perception in terms of social acceptance and self-concept compared tonon-participatory children. This project does not help in other dimensions of self-perception.

Differences in the self-concept of male and female monozygotic twins were compared as measured by the Tennessee Sea-Concept Scale. Forty sets of monozygotic twins (20 male, 20 female) were randomly selected for the study. Their responses were scored and the Student t test was computed for each of 11 categories of self-concept to assess differences in female and male scores. The results indicated that female monozygotic twins were more satisfied with their "total" self- concepts including the self-concept categories of identity, behavior, moral-ethical, personal, family and number of deviant scores, when compared with male monozygotic twins.

Compensatory Consumption

Abstract When people experience threats to important aspects of their self-concept (e.g., power, intelligence, sociability), they often compensate by consuming products that symbolize success, mastery, or competence on the threatened self-domain (within-domain compensatory consumption). Our research examines whether such compensatory consumption is effective in repairing the self-concept. Across seven experiments, we show that whether compensatory consumption is effective depends on the extent to which the connection between the compensatory products and the threatened domains is made explicit. When the connections are made explicit (e.g., through product names and marketing slogans), self-repair is impeded, but when the connections are only implicit (product is inherently symbolic of self-threat domain), self-repair can be successful. We further show that these differential effects of product connection explicitness are mediated by rumination: explicit connections induce rumination about the self-threat, which undermines self-repair, whereas implicit connections cause no rumination, facilitating self-repair. Our research provides a reconciliation of conflicting findings on self-repair in previous research, and also shows that despite the differences in efficacy, consumers compensate regardless of whether product connections are implicit or explicit, which has implications for consumer well-being.

Research consistently shows the connection between self-concept in children and youngpeople and their social relations, which is also reflected in pupils’ attitudes towardseducation. This paper analyses how family relations, peer relations and attitudestowards education contribute to the global self-concept of male and female pupilsof 8 to 14 years of age. The research was conducted by using an extended versionof the Questionnaire for Planning Social-pedagogic Interventions. The researchsample consisted of 3,335 pupils from 43 Croatian elementary schools. This studyexamines the hypothesis on differences in self-concept predictors between male andfemale elementary school pupils, suggesting that in comparison with male pupils, theself-concept of female pupils is more dependent on social relations and the level ofengagement in education. It was established that self-concept is relatively stable forboys of 8-14 years of age while it becomes weaker among girls of 8 -14 years of age.Statistically, for both male and female pupils, self-concept significantly depends on theassessment of the quality of family relations, peer relations, and the attitude of pupilstowards education. The most important self-concept predictor among male pupilsis their relationship with their peers, and among female pupils it is family relations.In addition, relationships with significant others and attitudes towards educationcontribute more strongly to the self-concept of female pupils than it does with theirmale peers.Keywords: attitude towards education; family relations; peer relations; significantothers in school age
