The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ) measures self-concept based on responses to 18 items, which are grouped into four categories:
Self-fulfilment
Autonomy
Honesty
Emotional self-concept
[Read more about Self-Concept and Self-Identity]
The PSQ is a Likert-type scale with five response options ranging from totally disagree to totally agree.
Reliability and Validity
In the first study, coefficient alpha = .85 and in study two, .83.
Data analysis supported a four-dimensional model (see the four categories above). Positive correlations with other self-concept measures were statistically significant.
Other notes
The authors estimated it took about 10 minutes to complete the PSQ.
Their first study included people ages 12 to 36 (n = 506). In the second study, ages were 15 to 65 (n = 1135).
Availability
The PSQ items can be found in the Goñi et al. (2011) article (see the reference below). The 18-items can be found in Table 1 on page 512. Notice the 4-items eliminated from the 22 item measure used in the first study.Self-Identity

after i take the personal self concept test using the psq questionnaire, How do i know i have a high or low self concept . What score is high and which is low?
ReplyDeleteGood question. Unfortunately, unless the authors of the PSQ publish a test manual, it is not possible to interpret a personal score. Instead, questionnaires like the PSQ are generally used to compare groups scores in a research study based on the group averages obtained.
