Abstract
Self-concept is one of the oldest and most important constructs in the social sciences, dating back to at least the seminal work by William James (1890/1963). Today, self-concept enhancement is a major goal in many fields, including education, child development, health, sport/ exercise sciences, social services, and management. This concept is a multidimensional hierarchical construct with highly differentiated components such as academic, social, physical, and emotional self-concepts in addition to a global self-concept component. It is also an important mediating factor that facilitates the attainment of other desirable outcomes. Particularly in education settings, a positive academic self-concept (ASC) is both a highly desirable goal and a means of facilitating subsequent learning and other academic accomplishments.
