Self-Description Questionnaire: Age and Sex Effects in the Structure and Level of Self-Concept for Preadolescent Children.

Marsh, Herbert W.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n5 p940-56 Oct 1984

Factor analyses of responses to the Self-Description Questionnaire (SDQ) by children in grades two to five clearly identified the seven SDQ factors, and correlations among these factors were consistent with Shavelson's model. The results also suggest that these factors become more distinct with age. (Author/BW)
