Replication of a Test-Retest Factorial Validity Study with the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Platten, Marvin R.; Williams, Larry R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1981
This study largely replicates the findings of a previous study reported by the authors. Further research involving the physical dimension as a possible facet of general self-concept is suggested. (Author/BW)

The Construct Validity of an Exploratory Academic Self-Concept Subscale Derived from the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Halote, Barry; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
The construct validity of a 17-item exploratory academic self-concept subscale derived from the Piers-Harris Chidlren's Self-Concept Scale was investigated. Its empirical factor structure and its correlation with two other academic self-concept instruments were analyzed. Research use only is recommended pending rewriting of this exploratory…

A Comparative Analysis of the Factorial Structures of Two Administrations of the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale to One Group of Elementary School Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Platten, Marvin R.; Williams, Larry R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale was administered twice to a sample of elementary school pupils and both sets of data were factor analyzed. Results led the authors to question the factor stability of the instrument. (Items are included). (JKS)

The Factorial Validity of the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale for a Sample of Intermediate-Level EMR Students Enrolled in Elementary School.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rich, Charles E.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
Data on the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale from a sample of educable mentally retarded elementary school students were factor analyzed. Results indicated some support for the factor validity of the instrument. (JKS)

Testing the Structural and Theoretical Aspects of Construct Validity Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
Benson, Jeri; Zarnegar, Zohreh – 1984
The purpose of the study was to use confirmatory factor analysis techniques to assess the adequacy of previous validity studies related to the structural and theoretical dimensions underlying a measure of self-concept, the Piers Harris Children's Self Concept Scale. Responses from 890 students in grades 3-6 were used as input to the LISREL program…

Construct Interpretations of Three Self-Concept Inventories
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marx, Ronald W.; Winne, Philip H. – American Educational Research Journal, 1978
Three self-report self concept tests were administered to intermediate grade children. The subscales were clustered into three facets representing physical, social, and academic self concept. Some degree of construct validity was established, but discriminant validity was not. There was little evidence for the existence of separate facets of self…

An Evaluation of Some Self-Concept Scales for Young Children.
Burns, John L.; Christenberry, Nola J. – 1990
Three measures of self-concept or self-esteem and one measure of social competency development, designed for young children, are assessed. The instruments assessed include: (1) the Martinek-Zaichkowski Self-Control Scale for Children (MZSCSC); (2) the Behavioral Academic Self-Esteem Scale (BASE); (3) the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale…
