The aim of this study was to compare self-concept in four groups of
children distinguished by the presence/absence of either a motor impairment (with
and without cerebral palsy, CP) or social adjustment problems (victimisation).
METHOD: Four groups were formed: a victimised CP group (n=17), a non-victimised
CP group (n=41), a victimised comparison group (n=10) and a non-victimised
comparison group (n=46). Self-concept was measured using the Self-Perception
Profile for Children (SPPC, Harter The Self-Perception Profile for Children.
Unpublished manual. Denver, CO: University of Denver; 1985) during the school
visit. Victimisation was obtained by conducting a classwide sociometric interview
in the class of the target child. RESULTS: The results indicate that the groups
differ depending on the domain measured. CONCLUSIONS: By identifying factors that
may influence self-concept in children with CP, this study contributes new
information to this subject.
