Abstract

In the present paper, an attempt was made to study self-concept among adolescents. A descriptive study was conducted to elaborate on the relationship between self-concept and socio-emotional school climate among adolescents. A sample consisting of 200 adolescents was taken from schools situated in Ludhiana district. Data was collected with the help of the Self-concept list Rating Scale by Deo (2008) and the Socio-emotional School Climate Inventory by Sinha and Bhangane (1998). Subsequently, the data was subjected to statistical analysis. Results clearly indicated a significant relationship between overall self-concept and socio-emotional school climate of adolescent students. No significant difference was found between mean scores of self-concept of rural and urban adolescent students. Furthermore, no significant difference was found between mean scores of self-concept of adolescent boys and girls.
