Context dependent differences in selfconcept primary domains

Summary/Abstract: In situations of absolute control and shelter that internet can provide possibilities of (un)intentional distortion of personal characteristics are numerous. This study basic question is, whether online self-concept estimation provides different results than common group testing with the presence of an exeminer. A self-concept scale, with six scales that match Bracken’s primary contexts, was used. Two groups were tested: One was tested in a group (N=145) while the other group did their test individually, over the internet (N=91). In data consideration t-tests for independent samples and discriminant analyses were applied. Results reveal that the online group scored higher for competence and academic self-concept (p< .01) whereas social and physical self-concept are very close to upper border of statistical significance.
