Zelen (29) also employed a sociometric device and measures
of adjustment In the stutfy of self-acceptance. He tested sixth grade
children and found a, positive correlation between acceptance of self,
acceptance of others and acceptance by others. In discussing his
results, Zelen hypothesized that perhaps this relationship existed
only in this young population due to the fact that a child's concept of
himself i® more likely to be affected or derived from the immediate
surroundings, thus his selfconcept will be similar to the group's
feelings toward him. On the other hand, it can be readily seen that
an older person's concept of himself would be the result of having
been formed through contact with many groups and interactions with
them. Thus, the older person would not be so nearly dependent
upon one group's feelings toward him as would the child, In view of
the fact that this discrepancy is found between an individual's self-
concept and a particular group's concept of him, it can not be nec-
essarily attributed to the effects of maladjustment or misinterpretation
of reality.
Brownfain, in his study on the stability of the self-concept
as a dimension of one's personality, found many related factors.
He stated that every evaluative statement a person makes about him-
self may be thought of as a sample of his self-concept, from which
may be inferred certain properties of that self-concept. Adjustment
