Additional Evidence of Separability of Components Assessed by the Barber Scales of Self-Regard.
Barber, Lucie W.; Cernik, Helen C.
The seven Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children are based on a model which indicates that the personality element "Self" is composed of seven, separable and measurable components. This study addresses itself to the separability of the components assessed by the seven scales. The sample for this study came from the 1975 field test. There were 172 children whose mothers rated their child on the seven scales. Correlation coefficients between mother's ratings and demographic variables were produced by computer analysis. The demographic variables were: sex of child, Sunday church school attendance, nursery or day care attendance, kindergarten attendance, number of children in family, family income, zip code, age of mother, education of mother, mother's work, age of father, education of father, father's work and number of parents in home. The correlation coefficients are listed. The 1974 study led to the conclusion that separability of components measured by the scales was supported. The results of this study, with the much larger 1975 sample, add even stronger support to the contention that components are, indeed, separable. It would appear that each self-regard scale measures something not measured by any other scale. (RC)
