This study compared the self-concept of primary-school-age children (5 years to 9 years) with clefts to a control group on nonaffected peers. The children with clefts reported a significantly lower global self-concept. They perceived themselves as less socially adept and more frequently sad and angry than their peers. It is postulated that poor self-concept in primary-school-age children with clefts may be related to concerns with speech, appearance, differential parental expectations, or a combination of these variables.
本研究将患有腭裂的小学适龄儿童（5岁至9岁）的自我概念与未受影响的同龄对照组进行了比较。患有腭裂的儿童报告的整体自我概念显著较低。他们认为自己在社交方面不如同龄人擅长，且比同龄人更频繁地感到悲伤和愤怒。据推测，患有腭裂的小学适龄儿童自我概念较差可能与对言语、外貌的担忧、父母不同的期望或这些变量的综合作用有关。
