of Boys
Anshel, M. H., Muller, D. & Owens, V.L.
Perceptual Motor Skills, 63 (1968)
363-366
Purpose:
Determine if different aspects of self-concept
are independent or if situations with specific
criteria that enhance one aspect of self-concept
positively affect other dimensions of self-image.
Sample:
6-week, day, sports camp. Fifteen boys ages
6-9.
Methods/Instruments:
Pre-, Post- test. Student's
Self-assessment Inventory (1984). Counselors
trained on positive feedback, avoidance
of camper comparison regarding skills, teaching
sports, non-competitiveness (no winners
or losers), and development of group cohesion
and friendships.
Results:
- Sports ability, self-knowledge and sports
ability self-esteem were the only means
in which significant differences were
found.
- Concluded the factors that affect positive
outcomes for enhancing self-concept are
specific to the area of focus.
