Author: Piers, E.V., Herzberg, D.S.

Summary: This test is designed to measure self-concept (e.g. self esteem, self regard) in children and adolescents. Self-concept is a relatively stable set of attributes reflecting both description and evaluation of one's own behaviour and attributes. The updated version enhances the ease of use and psychometric foundation of the test, while preserving many characteristics of the instrument. Specific improvements include new nationwide normative data (based on a sample of nearly 1,400 students, ages 7 to 18, recruited from school districts throughout the U.S.A.), an updated item set, enhanced interpretive guidelines, and modernized computer assessment tools (Piers & Herzberg, 2002).
