Testing the Dimensionality of the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale.
Benson, Jeri; Rentsch, Joan
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v48 n3 p615-26 Fall 1988
Confirmatory factor analysis techniques assessed several structural models that have been reported regarding the construct validity of the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale. Responses of 885 Black, White, and Hispanic students in grades three-six suggest that the scale's construct validity is a function of content and manner of phrasing. (TJH)
