Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate physical self-concept of higher secondary level students as function of their sex, residential environment and educational institution. The study used 2x3x3 factorial design involving two levels of sex (boy/girl), three levels of residential environment (metropolitan city/district town/rural area) and three levels of educational institution (cadet college/govt. college/non-govt. college). A Self-concept Scale was administered on 720 higher secondary level students and score of each subject on physical self-concept sub-scale was computed separately. The results were computed through the calculation of analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of ANOVA indicated that boys showed significantly higher positive physical self-concept than girls. Similarly, respondents of metropolitan city displayed significantly higher positive physical self-concept than the respondents of district town but there was no significant difference between the subjects of metropolitan city and rural area as well as between the subjects of district town and rural area. Likewise, the students of cadet college and govt. college exhibited significantly higher positive physical self-concept than the students of non-govt. college but there was no significant difference between the students of cadet college and govt. college. The result also showed that a two-way interaction between sex and residential environment was statistically significant. Moreover, the finding also exhibited that a two-way interaction between residential environment and educational institution was statistically significant. Thus, development of physical self-concept of higher secondary level students was found to be determined by sex, residential environment and educational institution.
