✦ Synopsis

To investigate the validity of multidimensional models of self concept, 43 fifth-and sixth-grade students were administered the Self-Description Questionnaire4 and the Multidimensional Self Concept Scale, and 38 eighth-grade students were given the Self-Description Questionnaire-I1 and the Multidimensional Self Concept W e . Total scale scores were significantly correlated, reflecting the similarity in the underlying construct assessed-global self concept. Correlations between subscales within and across instruments also provide support for the multidimensionality of self concept.
