Based upon the belief that enhanced self-concept is linked to a number of positive outcomes, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to this construct. Contributions in this area have been complicated however by the lack of universal definitions and competing measurement methodologies. Further, most of the available literature addresses typically developing children and adolescents. Specific information pertaining to the self-concept of children with disabilities lags but is constantly growing.

520 $a Based upon the belief that enhanced self-concept is linked to a number of positive outcomes, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to this construct. Contributions in this area have been complicated however by the lack of universal definitions and competing measurement methodologies. Further, most of the available literature addresses typically developing children and adolescents. Specific information pertaining to the self-concept of children with disabilities lags but is constantly growing.
520 $a A review of the literature reveals that self-concept formation in typically developing children follows a developmental progression. To date, the assumption that children with spina bifida follow the same pattern has not been challenged. There has been minimal exploration however, into whether children with spina bifida share the same contributors to, or processes involved in, self-worth development as typically developing children. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the increasing information on the self-concept and self-worth of children and adolescents with spina bifida. The study addresses three research questions: (1) Do markers of physical functioning predict the reported global self-worth of children and adolescents with spina bifida? (2) Do academic and psychological characteristics predict the global self-worth of these youth? (3) What is the relationship among contributors to global self-worth?
520 $a Forty-five children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 17 drawn from a longitudinal study of children and adults with spina bifida and their families were included in this investigation. Results of multiple standard regression analyses indicate that intensity of personal secondary conditions is a significant predictor of global self-worth. Children and adolescents with spina bifida who reported more personal difficulties also reported lower global self-worth. Academic secondary conditions were also found to share a moderate relationship with global self-worth during bivariate correlational analyses. Markers of physical functioning, however, were not predictors of global self-worth. These findings provide support for targeting multiple factors for self-concept enhancement but also further highlight the complexities of the construct and the need for further research and intervention exploration.
