Differences in Self-Concept between Deep and Shallow Processors

Abstract

The Deep Processes scale of the Inventory of Learning Processes was used to identify the deep and shallow processors and selected Tennesse Self-concept subscales were used to assess 143 undergraduate college students' self-concepts. Analysis showed that deep processors had significantly higher scores than shallow processors on Identity, Self-satisfaction, Behavior, Moral-Ethical Self, Personal Self, and Social Self and the total self-concept scales.
