Abstract
A total of 390 elementary school students from grades three through eight of a Midwestern school system were administered both the Personal Attribute Inventory for Children (PAIC) and the Children's Self-Concept Scale (CSCS). A correlation of .32 (p < .001) was found between these two scales. Over a four week interval a test-retest correlation of .88 (p < .001) was obtained for the PAIC. Researchers are urged to consider using the PAIC as it not only provides a relatively reliable and valid measure of children's self-concepts, but also a very easy one to administer and to score.Keywords
