Self-Concept Orientations and Self-Directed Videotape Experiences of Delinquent Males.
Gill, Walter
This study investigated the effects of self-directed videotape experiences upon the self-concept of delinquent males. The self-directed process is a method of self-expression, and included videotape recording and playback, viewing motion picture films, and discussions. The dimensions of self-concept tested through the Self Social Symbols Task were esteem; social interest; identification with mother, father, teacher, and friend; group identification; group identification with parent; egocentricity; power; complexity; and individuation. Significant differences were attained by the self-directed group on all constructs with the exception of complexity. Significant differences were also attained by the component groups of the self-directed process, the talk/film and videotape groups on all constructs with the exception of the identification with father (talk/film group) and the complexity constructs. The self-directed process is thought to be more inclusive for self-directed disclosures, although videotaping and the viewing of films may be one of several group-mediated activities that might enhance the self-concept of delinquent males. Data for the study are presented in four tables. (19 footnotes) (Author/EW)
