Tennessee Self Concept Scale

A factor analysis of the Tennessee Self-concept Scale was conducted on the profiles of 76 alcoholic male veterans. 14 separate dimensions of self-concept were described by three independent factors (Self-esteem, Certainty, Response Set) and accounted for 74.7% of total test variance. These findings were discussed in terms of “within-network” construct validation of self-concept as a unidimensional construct. Also, reliability estimates of the internal consistency of the 8 self-esteem variables and self-criticism were provided.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

One-hundred-fourteen women from an Episcopal church (rated by a panel of judges as “doctrinaire” vis-à-vis woman's role), a Congregational church (rated as “nondoctrinaire), and a Methodist church (rated as “moderate” on this variable) participated in a study of the importance or centrality of religion, concepts of woman's role, and self-esteem. Results of the Twenty-Statements test and the Attitudes toward Women Scale showed that women from the more doctrinaire churches tended to consider religion more central in their lives and also perceived their roles as women as more conservative. Results of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale yielded no statistically significant differences in self-esteem, though the lowest mean score was noted for the “moderate” group.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

Separate factor analyses of responses to the Tennessee Self-concept Scale using item and scale data are reported for a sample of 255 disabled veterans. A global self-satisfaction factor and several subsidiary factors roughly approximate the external dimension of the scale. The internal dimension interacts with the external one in defining several factors but does not emerge as an independent dimension. Scale data yield a self-esteem factor incorporating both external and internal scales and a self-concept conflict-integration factor. The evidence supports the external dimension more than the internal dimension. The findings are consistent with previous studies that have not validated the two-dimensional design of the scale.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

The Tennessee Self-concept Scale: Second Edition scores of 33 urban, African-American women were compared in a pretest-posttest design. The treatment was exposure to a 3-mo. literacy and social skills training program. Contrary to expectations, scores on just two subscales—Self-criticism and Physical Self—fell outside the average range. Also, Physical Self was the only scale score to change significantly (–3.83). These results suggest that self-esteem scores of urban African Americans were similar to those of women in the general population.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

The Tennessee Self-concept Scale was administered in Nigeria to 78 college and 74 high school students, and their scores were compared with USA norms. The scale was reliable for the literate Nigerian subjects. Nigerian subjects' total Positive (Self-esteem) scores fall within the range of scores obtained from similar USA groups.

62 junior ballet dancers from the Finnish National Opera (44 girls, 18 boys, ages 9 to 17 yr.) completed the Battle Self-esteem Inventory Form B or AD, the Tennessee Self-concept Scale, 2 factors from Coopersmith's Self-esteem Inventory, 10 items from Rosenberg's scale, the modified Mehrabian and Epstein Empathy Scale, a questionnaire on hobbies, the Rorschach and the Figural B Form of Torrance's creativity test. Analysis showed dancers trained 4–5 nights/week, tended to have creative hobbies, were more empathetic and sensitive (especially girls) than controls. Dancers had higher self-esteem than the normative sample.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

The Tennessee Self-concept Scale was administered to a university sample of 54 married couples in an earlier study. Although the self-esteem scores of husbands and wives were moderately correlated and relatively close in magnitude, the scores did not tend to converge with length of marriage, supporting the hypothesis that mate-selection processes are responsible for the observed similarity in self-esteem between husbands and wives.

Tennessee Self Concept Scale

This investigation was designed to compare the factorial structure of 312 rehabilitation clients' responses to the Tennessee Self-concept Scale to the rationally derived subscale structure of the instrument. Oblique rotations of four variable sets which represent successive condensations of the item sample were carried out. Three conclusions were reached. (1) The effectiveness of balancing positive and negative items to control acquiescence in the scale is questionable. (2) The three design facets of the scale interact in defining the dimensions of examinees' responses. (3) The factorial structure of examinees' responses to the items is generally not consistent with the rational design of the instrument.
