Self-Concept: The Interplay of Theory and Methods.
Shavelson, Richard J.; Bolus, Roger
Journal of Educational Psychology, v74 n1 p3-17 Feb 1982
Recent methodological advances regarding self-concept theory are presented. Using junior high school subjects and multiple indicators of subject-specific, area, and general self-concept, support was found for a multifaceted, hierarchical interpretation. Results point to the causal predominance of self-concept over achievement. (Author/GK)
