The Development of Perceived Scholastic Competence and Global Self-Worth in African American Adolescents from Low-Income Families: The Roles of Family Factors, Early Educational Intervention, and Academic Experience.

Campbell, Frances A.; Pungello, Elizabeth P.; Miller-Johnson, Shari

Journal of Adolescent Research, v17 n3 p277-302 May 2002

Examined early childhood and concurrent factors associated with adolescents' self-perceptions of scholastic competence and global self-worth. Found that family conflict in adolescence, early childhood educational intervention (Abecedarian Project), and academic achievement predicted perceived scholastic competence. Perceptions of scholastic, social, and physical competence predicted global self-worth. (Author/DLH)
