The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children were developed to provide instruments for assessing levels of development for individual children. The purpose of this study was to probe into the question of whether or not raters (mothers, fathers, teachers) had difficulties rating children on the scales. Two sources of evidence were…

The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children allow parents to rate their child's developmental level for seven components of self-image. This article addresses the question of variability of individual children across all seven components of self-regard. Complete sets of rated scales for 42 children are displayed. The 42 profiles…

The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard were constructed to allow parents to rate their own children. The question dealt with in this study is whether the scales assess similarly in all parts of the country. A table displays the number of mothers, each of whom rated a child on all seven scales, and the zip code area from which the mothers…

The Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children were developed as assessment devices for parents. The scales enable parents to get a picture of where their child is developmentally in total self-concept. The purpose of this article is to look at the problem of parents' objectivity/subjectivity. Can parents rate their own child without…

The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children were developed to provide instruments for assessing levels of development for individual children. Because of the developmental nature of the scales, test-retest reliability and split-half reliability are without meaning. The only reliability estimate deemed appropriate is interjudge…

The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard assess levels of normal development in seven separable components of an integrated self-concept. The purpose of this study was to find out if males or females develop more quickly in a Scale or the Scales, or do the two sexes develop at a comparable rate. The sample included 173 children from middle class…

The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children were developed to provide instruments for assessing levels of development for individual children. Normative data by age level means for both sexes and for each sex in the 1975 field test of the scales is presented in this article. Evidence for sex differences was found in only two…

The seven Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children are based on a model which indicates that the personality element "Self" is composed of seven, separable and measurable components. This study addresses itself to the separability of the components assessed by the seven scales. The sample for this study came from the 1975 field test.…

The Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children resulted from a personality model specifying seven measurable and separate components resulting in self-image. The following are the scale titles: (1) purposeful learning of skills, (2) completing tasks, (3) coping with fears, (4) children's responses to requests, (5) dealing with…

The Barber Scales of Self-Regard were constructed in such a way as to assess a child's level in a developmental sequence. On each of the seven scales, scale point one describes the least mature level and scale point five describes the most mature level. The scale points in between describe the levels leading to the maturation potentially possible…

The seven Barber Scale of Self-Regard for Preschool Children were developed to provide instruments for assessing levels of development for individual children. This article discusses the question of whether mothers can be objective in rating their own children. Data from the 1974 and 1975 field tests were analyzed to provide an answer. The total…

The Minnesota Personality Profile II used as a test of construct validity for the Barber Self-Regard Scales--Preschool. Before analysis of data, hypotheses were arrived at concerning predicted relationships between the two instruments. Fifty-two correlation coefficients were predicted as significant or nonsignificant statistically. Hypotheses were…

The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard were developed to provide instruments for assessing the levels of development for individual children. It has been a consistent finding in three field tests of the Self-Regard Scales that age and scale points are related. However, it has also been a consistent finding that the range of scale points for any…

The problem of concurrent validity of the Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children is addressed by calculating product moment correlations for Self-Regard ratings and total Self-Concept and Motivation Inventory-Kindergarten From (SCAMIN) self-concept scores. The SCAMIN was admininstered to four and five year old children shortly after…

The sample for the 1975 field test of the Barber Scales of Self-Regard for Preschool Children came from Episcopal schools distributed widely by geographical area. The instrumentation included, besides the self-regard scales, the Self-Concept and Motivation Inventory and the Minnesota Personality Profile II, plus a demographic questionnaire. The…
