| Abstract | The self-concept construct has been used to explain behaviors across a diverse array of situations, and the attainment of a positive self-concept has been posited as a desirable goal in developmental psychology. The purposes of this study were to examine age and sex effects in multiple dimensions of self-concept during the preadolescence to early-adult period and alternative operationalizations of the orthogenic principle positing self-concept to become differentiated with age. The investigation used 12,266 responses comprising the normative data for the three Self Description Questionnaire (SDQ) instruments designed to measure multiple dimensions of self-concept in preadolescence in early-adolescence, and in late-adolescence and early adulthood. Results showed responses to all three SDQ instruments were reliable and resulted in well-defined factor structures. Age effects were U-shaped, self-concept declining from early preadolescence to middle adolescence, and then increasing from middle-adolescence through early adulthood. Sex differences in specific areas of self-concept, those favoring girls and those favoring boys, were generally consistent with sex stereotypes and were relatively stable from preadolescence to early adulthood. There was little support for the increased differentiation of the multiple dimensions of self-concept beyond early preadolescence. (Four tables, 7 figures, and 66 references are included.)
