Self Concept as a Function of Social Experience: A Study of Thirty-Four Boys in Residence at the Astor Home, Rhinebeck, New York, to Determine the Relationship Between the Self Concept and the Length of Time They Have Spent in Their Family Setting or in Institutions, 1960
Abstract
Background and Importance of the Study. One of the newer concepts in the field of personality theory is the Self-Concept theory of personality organization. This view received its first formal statement by Raimy in 1943, although related lines of thinking are to be identified both previous to and since that time, as for example some of the discussions of Gordon Allport, Lecky, and Gardner Murphy. This view holds that the behavior of the individual is primarily determined by and pertinent to his phenomenal field and in particular, that aspect of the field which is the individual’s conception of himself.
