Abstract
A factor analysis of the Tennessee Self-concept Scale was conducted on the profiles of 76 alcoholic male veterans. 14 separate dimensions of self-concept were described by three independent factors (Self-esteem, Certainty, Response Set) and accounted for 74.7% of total test variance. These findings were discussed in terms of “within-network” construct validation of self-concept as a unidimensional construct. Also, reliability estimates of the internal consistency of the 8 self-esteem variables and self-criticism were provided.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
