Self Concept Construct
 

Joan Riehl-Sisca

 


Joan Riehl Sisca claims that the self-concept refers to a "global, relatively constant self-perception that an individual holds and it changes only gradually" (as cited in Marriner-Tomey, 1989, p. 255). The idea of an all inclusive self-concept construct makes the same historical mistake as the unidimensional model and in fact the Sisca definition is that of a unidimensional model. A global approach to the structure of self-concept cannot account for the variation within the dimensions initially evidenced by the Shavelson et al. model (1976).
