✦ Synopsis

Compared three groups of black, white, and Mexican-American delinquent and nondelinquent males, aged 1 1 to 18, on measures of self-concept, selfesteem, and ordinal position by groups (N = 135). Data were analyzed with analysis of variance and Chi-square test. Significant main effects were found with respect to delinquency, self-concept, and self-esteem. A significant interaction was present for delinquency and ethnicity for both self-concept and self-esteem. Chi-square results found birth-order and ethnicity to be related significantly.
