  • Self-concept and social support among adolescents with disabilities attending special and mainstream schools
    Seničar, Manca ; Kobal Grum, Darja
    The main research goal was to investigate the self-concept, self-esteem and social support among adolescents with special needs, concentrating on the differences between adolescents who are attending ... regular schools and those who receive their education in special institutions. Participants filled in three questionnaires: Self-description Questionnaire (Marsh, 1992), Self-Liking / Competence Scale (Tafarodi and Swann, 2001) and Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (Malecki, Demaray and Elliott, 2000). The results show that the educational institution and type of disability affect studentsʼ self-concept, self-esteem and social support, while parentsʼ disability only has a minor influence on these characteristics. Positive correlations between types of self-concept and social support can also be observed. The results therefore show inclusionʼs positive effect on studentsʼ personal and social functioning: students attending inclusive education have better self-concepts and receive more social support than students attending special schools.
