AbstractThis study is based on a multifaceted and hierarchical model of self-concept and is
concerned with assessing the developmental and differentiated changes of the
within-construct facets of self-concept across ages. A self-concept inventory was
administrated to 284 boys and girls selected from one middle school and one high
school. The relative importance of sub-self concept dimensions on general self-concept
was analysied by multiple regression.The mean scores of general self-concept and most of lower order self-concept of middle
schooler measured by SCQ were signficantly higher than high schooler. The relative
predictive power of second order factors of middle schooler differ from high schooler.
The results demonstrated that the developmental changes in self-concept can be viewed
in terms of the change in the relative importance of lower order factors and whether the
factor was included in the equation.
