Does Literature Affect Self-Concept?

Wagener, Elaine H.

Peabody Journal of Education, 53, 4, 299-302, Jul 76

Children's Self-Social Constructs Tests indicate that a direct approach to enhancing self-concept, primarily through strengthening a positive racial image, promotes a stronger self-concept, and use of children's literature holding the Negro in high esteem seems a successful avenue to this result.
