Abstract

![CDATA[Self-Concept research is faced with a constant dilemma. Can the self-concept of a person be determined by summing the scales of a multi-factor self-concept test? Do some factors within a psychological construct have more weight in the individual’s self-conceptualisation than others? Does this importance or salience change over time on the same factor for each individual or remain stable? In the realm of physical self-concept, it is clear that the physical body changes over a lifetime. Does the self-image change accordingly, and does the relative salience of each factor constituting that image also change or remain stable? These were the questions addressed in this research. The Richards Physical Self-Concept Scale (Richards, 1987) was administered across a broad range of males and females from age 11 through to age 80. Analysis of results was across age and gender and found significant differences.]]
