Self-perception differences of sixth- and twelfth-grade subjects were measured with the Tennessee Self Concept Scale, and the youngsters' choices of an ideal personality trait were studied. Findings indicate that some age and sex differences in self-regard are statistically significant and that both younger and older girls seem to perceive themselves more favorably than do boys of the same ages. Boys as a group tend to select competence, and girls virtue as the traits they most admire, but the choice of an ideal personality characteristic apparently is unrelated to one's level of self-esteem.
使用田纳西自我概念量表测量了六年级和十二年级学生的自我认知差异，并研究了青少年对理想人格特质的选择。研究结果表明，在自尊方面的一些年龄和性别差异具有统计学意义，而且较年轻和较年长的女孩似乎都比同龄男孩对自己的看法更积极。作为一个群体，男孩倾向于选择能力，而女孩则倾向于选择美德作为他们最钦佩的特质，但对理想人格特征的选择显然与一个人的自尊水平无关。
