Byrne, Barbara M.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v23 n3 p361-75 Jul 1988

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to investigate the factorial validity across gender of the Self-Description Questionnaire III (SDQ III) subscales measuring general, school, English, and mathematics self-concepts. When administered to 516 male/475 female 11th/12th graders in Ottawa (Canada), the questionnaire demonstrated exceptionally superior psychometric properties. (TJH)
