N2 - A perspective-specific model which deals with the sources of
self-concept knowledge as construed by two theories (symbolic
interaction and social comparison) was combined with Shavelson’s
domain-specific model to form a two-facet model of self-concept. The
structure of this two-facet model was tapped by a new self-concept
instrument, the Multi-Perspective Multi-Domain Self-Concept Inventory
(MMSI), which was constructed by crossing domain and perspective facets.
Results of confirmatory factor analysis by grade level of the data from
a large sample of primary two, four, and six students lent support to
the multi-perspective multi-domain model. The MMSI facilitates the
estimation of (a) the differential contribution of domain and
perspective factors, and (b) the differential contribution of different
sources of self-concept knowledge. It also serves as an exemplar of an
interesting application of the multi-trait multi-method model in
confirmatory factor analysis.
