Self-concept and ego development, two intertwined aspects of self-indicating well-being and social-cognitive maturation, respectively, were examined in a representative sample of deaf adolescents of normal intelligence (N = 68), using translated and adapted versions of Harter's (1988, Manual for the self-perception profile for adolescents. Denver, CO: University of Denver) multidimensional measure of self-concept and Loevinger's (1998, Technical foundations for measuring ego development. Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum) measure of ego development. Compared to hearing norm groups, deaf adolescents showed lower levels of self-perceived social acceptance, close friendships and ego development and higher physical appearance. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses controlling for sociodemographic variables showed positive associations of global self-worth with support for signing during childhood and quality of parent-child communication and of ego development with attending a regular school. Cluster analysis identified three social competence profiles: uniformly low competence, uniformly high competence, and low social acceptance with high physical appearance. Cluster membership was associated with school type, ego development, and (past) neurological disorder. The results are discussed in reference to interventions aimed at the well-being of deaf youth.
自我概念和自我发展是分别表明幸福感和社会认知成熟度的两个相互交织的方面，本研究在一个具有代表性的智力正常的聋青少年样本（N = 68）中进行了考察，使用了经过翻译和改编的哈特（1988年，《青少年自我认知量表手册》。科罗拉多州丹佛市：丹佛大学）的多维自我概念测量方法和洛温格（1998年，《测量自我发展的技术基础》。新泽西州马霍瓦：劳伦斯·埃尔拉姆巴姆）的自我发展测量方法。与听力正常的对照组相比，聋青少年在自我感知的社会接纳、亲密友谊和自我发展方面得分较低，而在外貌方面得分较高。控制社会人口统计学变量的分层多元回归分析表明，总体自我价值与童年时期对手语的支持以及亲子沟通质量呈正相关，自我发展与就读正规学校呈正相关。聚类分析确定了三种社会能力概况：统一的低能力、统一的高能力以及低社会接纳但高外貌。聚类成员身份与学校类型、自我发展以及（过去的）神经疾病有关。本文参照针对聋青少年幸福感的干预措施对研究结果进行了讨论。
