abstract="This research explored the relationships between students' multidimensional selfconcepts as a function of students' family structure. Participants were 815 adolescent and preadolescent children, ages 9 to 19, selected from 17 sites across the four major regions of the United States. Students were classified into five family types (i.e., intact, reconstituted mother-headed, reconstituted father-headed, single parent mother-headed, single parent father-headed). <br><br>RESULTS indicated that the total self-concepts of students from single-parent families were significantly lower than the global scores of students from intact families. Family self-concepts of students from reconstituted families were significantly lower than students from intact families. This finding highlights the sensitivity of domain-specific selfconcepts.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
