Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 41-3 (March 2000) . - p.345-352 Titre : Gender Self-concept Profiles of Adolescents Suspended from High School Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ian HAY, Auteur Année de publication : 2000 Article en page(s) : p.345-352 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Self-concept  gender  adolescents  school suspensions  antisocial behaviour Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The gender self-concept profiles of 128 adolescents (107 males) whose persistent behaviour problems led to suspension from school were investigated. Establishing the students’ percentile ratings in the 11 subscales of the Self-Description Questionnaire overcame previous methodological weaknesses. For boys and girls Physical Appearance, Opposite-sex Relationships, and Honesty and Trustworthiness were in the average range, but Parent Relationships, General Self, and General School self-concepts were low. Only girls were low for Same-sex Relationships and Emotional Stability. The profiles suggest that boys’ antisocial behaviours are associated with striving for a masculine self-image, but girls’ antisocial behaviours are associated with greater social marginalisation. The issues of multi- focused interventions, prosocial role models, the particular needs of girls, and the relationship between self-control, self-enhancement, and reputation enhancement theories are discussed.
