What
is the self concept in Japan?
I. Mahler |
This
article r sports the development of a Japanese translation of a well
known and useful American test of the self concept: the Tennessee
Self concept Scale. The final version of the translated Japanese
test was administered to 345 university students in Japan. Norms
were computed and compared with those of a contemporary American
sample of university students, and the significant differences which
appear are discussed. It is concluded that the test may be useful
far Japanese psychologists and counselors, but considerable further
work and investigation into the extent of its usefulness needs to
be done.
