Abstract
Responsss of 400 4th- and 6th-grade boys and girls to individual items of a 30-adjective Self-concept scale were treated by analysis of variance. 20 items favored girls; 1 item (brave) favored boys; no differences were found on 9 items. Because most items favoring girls connoted goodness reflecting possible cultural bias, the over-all sex difference favoring girls was judged to be probably an artifact of measurement.Keywords
