The problem of concurrent validity of the Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children is addressed by calculating product moment correlations for Self-Regard ratings and total Self-Concept and Motivation Inventory-Kindergarten From (SCAMIN) self-concept scores. The SCAMIN was admininstered to four and five year old children shortly after their Self-Regard Scale ratings had been received. SCAMIN scores were received for 92 children who had also been rated on the Self-Regard Scales by both parents and/or a teacher. Whatever the merits or the opposite of the Self-Regard Scales and the SCAMIN self-concept assessment, it seemed safe to conclude that the two instruments were not measuring the same thing, at least in the sample used here. The SCAMIN is probably inappropriate for testing concurrent validity of the Self-Regard Scales. Since no other interactive or developmental approach to assessment of self-concept at the preschool level has been undertaken, at least the knowledge of the author, the problem of concurrent validity for the self-regard scales may be without solution at the present time.
