Measured self-concept in adjudicated juvenile offenders

N L Lund et al. Adolescence. 1980 Spring.

Abstract

The pattern of self concept scores on the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS) was compared for a group of adjudicated juvenile offenders (n = 43) and a group of non-offenders (n = 40). Notable differences were obtained, which suggested areas of further research and potential areas of counseling focus in dealing with the juvenile offender. Comparisons with data provided in the TSCS Manual revealed comparable differences between the juvenile offender group and a normative group and notable similarities in score pattern between the juvenile offenders and a group of psychiatric patients.
