4-yr.-olds, 18 girls and 18 boys, either imitated or failed to imitate a sequence of modeled acts. Children who imitated at least one modeled act showed higher self-concept scores following modeling than those children who failed to imitate. Imitators vs non-imitators did not differ in their self-concept scores prior to modeling. Results were discussed in terms of a competence model
