Relationship between self-concept and academic performance of Pakistani students

ABSTRACT

This research was conducted to study the relationship between self-concept and academic performance. It was hypothesized that there would be a positive relationship between self-concept and academic performance. Sixty university students participated in the study. Correlations between the subscales of the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale and GPA were obtained. Results indicate a positive relationship between total self-concept score and GPA and significant positive relationship for the subscales of Identity, Behaviour, Personal Self and Family Self and negative correlations for the subscales of Self-Satisfaction and Moral-Ethical Self with GPA. No significant correlations for the Physical Self and Social Self subscales with GPA were found
