Description
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a
significant difference between the reported self-concepts of children
living in one-parent homes and children living in two-parent homes. In
addition, the variables of sex and grade level were investigated to
determine whether there is a significant difference between the reported
self-concepts of males and females in grades one and three. Based on the population studied, the findings of an analysis of
variance, a multivariate analysis of variance, and the Fisher t-test all
indicated and supported that there is a statistically significant
difference, at the .05 level, between the reported self-concepts of
children living in one-parent and two-parent homes. Children from two-parent
homes had a considerably higher mean, 44.6, as compared to a 39.1
mean for children from one-parent homes. The findings indicated that there is a statistically significant difference between the reported
self-concepts of male and female students in the primary grades. Females
had a mean of 44.4 as compared to a 39.3 mean for males. There was no
statistically significant difference between first and third graders with
means of 42.0 and 41.7 respectively. Implications of these conclusions pertain specifically to the
sample included in this study; limitations imposed by definition and by
selection should be observed before making broad application of the
findings to populations which are not closely similar in design.
