This study has two purposes. One is to confirm the reliability of a Korean version of the Offer Self-Image Questionnaire for Adolescents(OSIQ), and the other one is to observe the differences of the self-image between adolescents in the rural area and urban area.
The results are as follows degree of Master of medical Science in February 1996.
1) Correlations between the 10 subscales of the OSIQ were statistically significant except the sexual attitude subscale. Cronbach's alpha from the 10 subscales of the OSIQ was 0.82, and split-half reliability was 0.80.
2) Cronbach's alphas for the internal consistencies of the subscales were above 0.6 except the Impulse control, Vocational and educational goals, and the Superior adjustment subscales.
3) Split-Half reliabilities using the Spearman-Brown reliabilities were between the range of 0.6 to 0.8 except the subscales of Vocational and educational goal, Mastery of the external world, Superior adjustment subscales.
4) Statistically significant differences were found between rural and urban area adolescents in the Vocational and educational goals, Mastery of external world, Body and self image, and sexual attitude subscales.
