Abstract
A review of the literature revealed that while numerous studies exist relative to the self concept, no study was found that addressed itself specifically to the relationship and relative contribution to the self concept of aspirations, expectations and achievements. Therefore, this study was launched addressing itself to the question, "Are aspirations, expectations and achievements related to the construct of self concept?", "to what extent are they related when considered as individual variables, in combinations or as a totality?"
The FitzGibbon Rating Scale (FRS) was used as the criterion variable.
FRS scores were gathered by classroom teachers experienced with the FRS and upon whom interrator reliability data had been gathered. Data on aspirations, expectations, and achievements were gathered via a game especially designed for this study.
Subjects (Ss) were 40 girls and 47 boys (N=87) enrolled in the Edith Bowen Teacher Education Laboratory School for the school year 1972-73 in grades 4, 5, and 6 at Utah State University.
