The aim of this study was to investigate the association between attendance at either a single- or a mixed-sex school and scores on the Self-Perception Profile for Children (Harter, 1985). Subjects included 143 Northern Irish adolescent girls from a single-sex secondary school in Belfast and 24 adolescent girls from a mixed-sex secondary school matched for location and religious affiliation. Results indicated that girls from the single-sex school were less happy than girls at the mixed-sex school with respect to their physical appearance, but more satisfied with their behavioral conduct. In addition, physical appearance was the best predictor of global self-worth for girls at the mixed-sex school, whereas behavioral conduct was the best predictor of global self-worth for girls at the single-sex school.
本研究的目的是调查就读于单性别学校或男女混合学校与儿童自我认知量表（哈特，1985年）得分之间的关联。研究对象包括来自贝尔法斯特一所单性别中学的143名北爱尔兰青春期女孩，以及来自一所男女混合中学的24名青春期女孩，两所学校在地理位置和宗教归属方面相匹配。结果表明，就外表而言，单性别学校的女孩不如男女混合学校的女孩快乐，但对自己的行为表现更满意。此外，外表是男女混合学校女孩整体自我价值的最佳预测指标，而行为表现则是单性别学校女孩整体自我价值的最佳预测指标。
