The Six-Factor Self-Concept Scale is a multidimensional measure of adult self-concept that was designed to have broad applicability across life settings, roles, and activities. Developed through a series of exploratory factor analytic studies, the measure consists of six subscales: Likability, Morality, Task Accomplishment, Giftedness, Power, and Vulnerability. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the 36-item, six-factor structure provided a reasonably good fit for data derived from a sample of 365 noncollege adults. Factor structures of correlation matrixes for men and women and for undergraduates and noncollege adults were highly similar. The subscales were tested for distinctiveness, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, and divergent validity. Evidence for all five qualities is reported. The subscales differentially predicted childhood memories, recent behaviors and events, and ratings by knowledgeable observers
