A short version of the Self Description Questionnaire II: Operationalizing criteria for short-form evaluation with new applications of confirmatory factor analyses
Article Abstract:
The development of a shorter version of the Self Description Questionnaire II (SDQII-S) that measures 11 dimensions of adolescent self-concept based on responses to 51 of the original 102 SDQII items is discussed. The factor structure based on responses to 51 items by a new cross-validation group was found to be invariant with the factor structures based on responses to the same 51 items and to all 102 items by the original normative archive group.

A multidimensional perspective of relations between self-concept (Self Description Questionnaire II) and adolescent mental health (Youth Self Report)
Article Abstract:
The correlation between self-concept and mental health from a multidimensional perspective is examined. The highly differentiated multivariate pattern of relations supports a multidimensional perspective of self-concept, not the unidimensional perspective prevalent in mental health research and assessment.
