AbstractThe present study was designed for the construction of self concept scale. Six separate dimensions of self concept were operationally defined which include physical self-concept, educational self-concept, scholastic competence, moral self-concept, social self-concept and global self-worth. The initial list of 108 statements underwent revisions many times and, the items which were ambiguous or appeared to indicate neutral were eliminated. The retained 48 items were administered directly to an incidental sample of 50 Ss of secondary school students of Rajshahi University School for pilot study. In which 36 items showed higher internal consistency. Finally, 30 items were retained on the basis of high correlation having 0.01 level of significance of the scale. The correlation coefficients of these items ranged from 0.34 to 0.79. The reliability and, validity of the scale were again computed through field test after sample (N=320) of which 160 Ss were boys and 160 Ss were girls. The correlation co-efficient through Pearson method was obtained 0.89 which was found higher than that of pilot study (r=.82). These findings indicate high reliability and validity of the newly constructed scale.
