Abstract
This study investigated the factor structure and other psychometric properties of Harter's (1988) Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents (SPPA) for a group of 174 African American, early adolescents (ages 11-14 years). An exploratory principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation yielded 6 conceptually relevant factors, 2 of which were exact replications of the original factors reported by Harter. Results also indicated gender differences in the domains of global self-worth, athletic competence, and romantic appeal. Directions for future research are offered, including a recommendation to add another domain for improvement of the SPPA's content validity for an African American sample.
