Harter's Self-Perception Profile
Captions available
The idea
Harter's Self-Perception Profile measures children's global self-worth, their overall sense of their own value, along with five specific domains of self-perception.
In practice
A child rating herself high at sport and low at schoolwork, while still rating her overall worth highly.
Where people slip
A four-year-old cannot separate the ideal self from the actual self; a school-aged child can name strengths and weaknesses.
