The purpose of this stud was to examine age and gender differences on children's self-concept and agreement between children's self-concepts and inferences by their fathers, mothers and teachers. The subjects for this study were 342 children from kindergarten (n=149) and second grade (n=193), and theirs fathers, mothers and teachers. The results of this study indicated that there was a significant difference among self-concepts by age, but no significant difference by sex. Also, there was no agreement between kindergarteners' self-concepts and inferences by their fathers, mothers and teachers. For second graders, however, noticeable agreement was found, especially between mothers and children.
