Abstract
The Lipsitt Self-Concept Scale was completed by 802 16-yr olds, togeth er with the neuroticism, extraversion and Lie scales of the Junior Eys enck Personality Inventory. The overall reliability of the instrument is supported among this age group. Regarding the construct validity of the instrument, the data demonstrate that Lipsitt's implicit assumpti ons regarding the nature of a good self-concept favour femininity, soc ial conformity, extraversion and emotional stability.
