In addition to estimates of the reliability for the eight factor scales of the 24-item Primary Self-Concept Scale (PSCS) obtained from two administrations to a sample of 83 children in the third grade, concurrent validity coefficients of the eight scales were determined relative to the same eight factors on the Teacher Questionnaire (TQ) designed to reflect teachers' perceptions of children's behaviors in these eight factor categories. Scores on four scales of the PSCS on its first administration and on three scales on its second administration yielded statistically significant validity (phi) coefficients with scores on corresponding factor categories of the TQ.
