Self-concept of adolescents in small-scale fishing communities
This study examined the self-concept of adolescents from small-scale fishing communities in Kerala, India, focusing on how biological sex, residential status, and birth order relate to different dimensions of their self-concept. Drawing from Marsh’s multidimensional model of self-concept, the study...

| description | This study examined the self-concept of adolescents from small-scale fishing communities in Kerala, India, focusing on how biological sex, residential status, and birth order relate to different dimensions of their self-concept. Drawing from Marsh’s multidimensional model of self-concept, the study used an adapted self-concept scale to analyse data from 308 adolescents, collected through a two-stage sampling method (purposive for school selection and simple random for student selection), using MANOVA and post-hoc tests. Results showed that 70.1% of adolescents reported moderate self-concept levels. Significant differences were found based on biological sex (males had higher physical, temperamental, and intellectual self-concept; females had higher educational and moral self-concept) and residential status (hostellers had higher physical self-concept). Birth order influenced social and educational self-concept. These findings highlight the need for tailored educational and community-based interventions to enhance self-concept. By targeting specific dimensions of self-concept, these interventions may improve outcomes for adolescents in these communities. |
