“…Children who were 3 years old or older at the time of testing were administered the Children’s Self-Concept Test (Muller and Leonetti 1974). The test yields six factors (e.g., physical size, peer acceptance, and success), three domains (personal self, social self, and intellectual self), and a total score.…”

Young children (from birth to 5 years of age) of schizophrenic, depressed, and well mothers were studied to assess their intellectual, social, and neuropsychiatric functioning. The sample derived from predominantly black, low-income, single-parent families. An extensive battery of laboratory and home-based tests was administered three times, each 1 year apart, to test the stability of findings. Schizophrenic offspring, as a group, had more problems than others. They showed more deficits on social competence, had lower IQ's (the youngest children only), and were overrepresented in the group of children with multiple negative indices. However, both schizophrenic offspring and depressive offspring sometimes performed more poorly than children with well mothers (presence of symptoms of psychiatric disorder and certain categories of social behavior). In certain instances, the children of depressed mothers were worse off than either other group (small for age and showing less social competence at home). Deficits were found in the child-rearing environment provided by the disturbed mothers. Both schizophrenic and depressed mothers were rated as less affectively involved and less responsive than well mothers. Schizophrenic mothers were rated as providing the poorest overall environment: less play stimulation, fewer learning experiences, and less emotional and verbal involvement. The following possible protective factors were identified in the mothers: lesser severity of illness, older age, higher education, higher IQ, work experience, and presence of spouse, boyfriend, or other relative to help in child care.

“…At other times, however, it is explained in terms of social competence, or in other words, a person's performance with regard to social relations, social skills and sociability (García & Musitu 2001;Marsh, Parker, & Barnes, 1985;Roid & Fitts, 1988). Some questionnaires (Bracken, 1992;Marsh & O'Niell, 1984;Muller & Leonetti, 1974) include both dimensions: social acceptance and social competence.…”

Título: La estructura del Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Social (AUSO). Resumen: Este estudio tiene por objeto analizar la estructura factorial del Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Social (AUSO), de nueva creación, compuesto por las escalas de responsabilidad social y de competencia social. De la revisión tanto de las teorías del desarrollo social humano como de anteriores intentos de medida del autoconcepto social nació la propuesta teórica de que el autoconcepto social resulta de la conjunción de dos autopercepciones básicas: la competencia en las relaciones sociales y la respuesta a las exigencias del funcionamiento social. Participaron en la investigación 818 estudiantes con edades comprendidas entre 17 y 52 años. Los resultados obtenidos, mediante análisis factoriales confirmatorios, refrendan la estructura hipotetizada de dos factores correlacionados. Este trabajo, además de aportar un nuevo instrumento de medida con características psicométricas adecuadas y criterios válidos que justifican su uso tanto en la práctica aplicada como en el ámbito de la investigación, ayuda a comprender mejor la naturaleza interna del dominio social del autoconcepto. Palabras clave: Autoconcepto social; desarrollo social; instrumento de medida; fiabilidad; estructura factorial. Abstract:This study aims to analyze the factorial structure of the newlycreated Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Social -AUSO (from here on the Social Self-concept Questionnaire, or AUSO), which consists of two scales measuring social responsibility and social competence. The theoretical proposal which posits that social self-concept is the result of the combination of two basic self-perceptions: competence in social relations and response to the demands of social functioning, is based on a review of human social development theories and previous attempts to measure social self-concept. Participants were 818 students aged between 17 and 52. The results obtained though confirmatory factor analyses support the hypothesis of a structure made up of two correlated factors. In addition to providing a new measurement instrument with appropriate psychometric characteristics and valid criteria that justify its use in both applied practice and research, this study also enhances our understanding of the internal nature of the social domain of self-concept.

Background and aims. Different factors affect children’s behavior during dental treatment, including psychological and behavioral characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of self-concept on child’s anxiety and behavior during dental treatment in 4 to 6-year-old children.Materials and methods. A total of 235 preschoolers aged 4 to 6 years were included in this descriptive analytic study. Total self-concept score for each child was assessed according to Primary Self-concept Scale before dental treatment. Child’s anxiety and child’s behavior were assessed, during the restoration of mandibular primary molar, using clinical anxiety rating scale and Frankl Scale, respectively. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between the total self-concept score with the results of clinical anxiety rating scale and Frankl Scale.Results. There was a moderate inverse correlation between the self-concept and clinical anxiety rating scale scores (r = -0.545, P < 0.001), and a moderate correlation between the self-concept and child’s behavior scores (r = 0.491, P < 0.001). A strong inverse relation was also found between the anxiety and behavior scores (r = -0.91, P < 0.001).Conclusion. Children with higher self-concept had lower anxiety level and better behavioral feedback during dental treatment.
