Adolescence is the most confusing, challenging, and fascinating phase of human development. The self-concept of adolescence has influenced our understanding of and therapeutic approach to this age group for decades. This study was attempted to evaluate self-concept in ;adolescence. The present and future self-concept were investigated with sentence _completion test.
Subjects were 465 high scool students in Pohang City(275 boys, 190 girls) and 65 neuropsychiatric high school patients who had been treated at Korea University Hospital, Pohang St. Mary´s Hospital and Seoul Red Cross Hospital from April 1, 1985 to September .30, 1985.
The results of this study were as follows;
1. In general, negative responses concerning the concept of self in the present and´ future decreased progressively according to the advancing grades during high school period. On the other hand, neutral responses increased.
2. In the high school boys, negative responses concerning the concept of self in the future increased slowly during their first and second grades, but sharply decreased at their third grade.
3. In the high school girls, both negative and neutral responses concerning the concept of self in the future increased steadily according to their advancing grades.
4. Compared with patient groups, negative responses concerning the present self-concept in the male patients and the future self-concept in the female patients were significantly -higher than that of normal high school students.
5. Following from the above results, it was suggested that there was no striking developmental changes in the degree of uncertainty associated with the self-concept, especially during the high school period in Korea, and that one aspect of the identity crisis or diffusion referred to by Erikson existed only for a small number of adolescents with psychiatric disorders.
