Abstract
We investigated whether there were gender differences in self-concept among adolescents with congenital low vision. The sample population consisted of 23 adolescents, 12–17 years of age (8 males and 15 females), who were attending either their second year of secondary education or a pre-university preparatory course. Using the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS) for the evaluation of self-concept, we obtained five dimensions of self-concept, five dimensions of self-esteem, and five dimensions of self-behavior for the evaluated adolescents. The overall results of the study showed some gender differences in the adolescents’ self-concept and self-behavior. Female subjects scored lower on social self-concept, family self-behavior, and moral self-behavior dimensions than male subjects, but higher on physical self-concept.
