On the Structure of Adolescent Self-Concept.

Byrne, Barbara M.; Shavelson, Richard J.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v78 n6 p473-81 Dec 1986

This study tested the multifaceted, hierarchical structure of self- concept (SC) against alternative models and determined whether academic SC can be discriminated from academic grades. Results supported the multidimensional interpretation of SC and demonstrated that general SC could be interpreted as distinct from but correlated with academic SC. (JAZ)
