Student Self-Concept Scale

Description And Relevance To Students With Emotional And Behavioral Disorders

FRANK M. GRESHAM is a professor and director of the School Psychology Program at the University of California-Riverside. He received his PhD in psychology from the University of South Carolina. His major research interests are social skills assessment and training with children; behavioral consultation with teachers; and characteristics of children with emotional and behavioral disorders, learning disabilities, and mild mental retardation.

The Student Self-Concept Scale (SSCS) is a new measure of self-concept based on self-efficacy theory and subjective task value. A multidimensional measure of self-concept, the SSCS assesses efficacy and outcome expectations across Academic, Social, and Self-Image domains. A unique rating methodology requires students to rate how confident they feel in performing tasks (efficacy expectations), their probable outcomes (outcome expectations), and how important these tasks are for them (subjective task value). The SSCS has been nationally standardized on a sample of 3,586 children in Grades 3 through 12 and there is ample evidence of reliability and validity. A case study illustrating uses of the SSCS is provided.
