The Self-Concept of Siblings of Handicapped Children: A Comparison

University of Victoria

Rebecca R. Fewell

Tulane University

Self-concept of siblings of handicapped children was compared with that of children without handi. capped siblings. Results of a standardized children's self-concept scale showed that siblings of handicapped children did not differ from other children in self-concept. Extreme scores, however, suggested differential responses among the siblings. Some children in both groups had poor self-concept scores. Though statistically insignificant, females in both groups showed higher self-concept scores than males. Males with handicapped siblings had higher self-concepts than the males without handicapped siblings. Results are discussed in terms of theoretical models and research evidence. Suggestions are made for intervention and research.
