Mutidimensional self-concept in adolescence: Academic self-concept in specific school subjects

The School Subjects Questionnaire was administered to 300 students (15-22 years old) in Years 11 and 12 at a Brisbane metropolitan State high school. Ratings of self-concept in eleven specific school subjects and in “all school subjects” were obtained. Factor analysis of these responses identified nine separate facets of academic self-concept. The hypothesised relationships among English subject-related self-concepts, Math subject-related self-concepts, Creative Arts subjects and Practical Arts subjects were not clearly obtained in this study.
