Abstract
Structural aspects of self-concept in old age measured by the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (Fitts, 1965) were examined in an aged (.hivin.X = 79.57, SD = 5.17 yr) community sample (n = 82) using multivariate techniques. Three robust factorial dimensions emerged from a principal components analysis: self-acceptance; doubt resolution/defensiveness; and conflict integration. The importance of defensiveness in aged self-concept was highlighted.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
