Abstract
For a sample of 354 students taken from two highly similar college preparatory, girls-only Catholic high schools in Japan, the twofold purpose of this study was to obtain evidence of the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of scores on each of five dimensions of a Japanese version of an academic self-concept measure titled Dimensions of Self-Concept (DOSC), Form S, Japanese version. Internal consistency estimates of reliability of scores on the five 14-item subscales varied between .71 and .84, with a median value of .77. From each of the five factor subscales, three subtests each comprising four or five items were formed, scored, and intercorrelated (15 subtests in all). Confirmatory maximum-likelihood factor analyses for several alternative factor models indicated that a five-factor oblique model accounted for the greatest proportion of covariance in the matrix of 15 subtests.
