    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Adolescent Psychology
    • Self-Concept Research

    Background:

    • Adolescence is a critical period of rapid physical and psychological change.
    • Self-concept development is hypothesized to improve with maturation and adjustment.
    • Cross-cultural comparisons suggest similar developmental trajectories in Western and Malaysian adolescents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate age-related changes in the global self-concept of Malaysian adolescents.
    • To examine how specific components of self-concept evolve during adolescence.
    • To compare developmental trends in self-concept between adolescent boys and girls.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale and Brookover Scale of Academic Ability.

  • Administered surveys to a sample of 375 adolescent boys (14.7-17.0 years) and 289 girls (14.4-17.2 years).
  • Employed quantitative analysis to assess correlations between age and self-concept measures.

    • Main Results:

    • Adolescent boys demonstrated a statistically significant positive change in self-concept with increasing age.
    • The predicted developmental trend for self-concept was less pronounced and consistent in adolescent girls.
    • Specific components of self-concept showed varying degrees of age-related change.

    Conclusions:

    • Age is a significant factor influencing self-concept development in Malaysian adolescent boys.
    • Developmental patterns of self-concept differ between genders during adolescence.
    • Further research is needed to explore gender-specific factors affecting adolescent self-concept.
