Abstract	The seven Barber Scales of Self-Regard assess levels of normal development in seven separable components of an integrated self-concept. The purpose of this study was to find out if males or females develop more quickly in a Scale or the Scales, or do the two sexes develop at a comparable rate. The sample included 173 children from middle class families across the country. Computer analysis included programs for correlation matrices and contingency tables. From the printouts, it was possible to compute means and standard deviations for all males and females. The same procedure was followed for male and female three year olds, four year olds, and five year olds. The further step was taken of computing the statistic between males and females for each age grouping. It did not appear that the sex of child had an appreciable influence on mothers' ratings on the Scales of Self-Regard. (RC)
