Abstract
The psychometric properties of scores from the Academic Self-Concept Scale are examined in a group of 198 Asian American college students. Using parallel analysis, a four-factor solution accounting for 46% of the variance was found. In a test of construct validity, academic self-concept was found to be negatively related to adherence to Asian values, positively related to adherence to European American values, and positively related to grade point average. Results suggest that academic self-concept, as currently measured, is primarily an individualistic psychological construct.
