The purpose of this inquiry were two fold : a. to examine the factor structure, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of scores on a chinese version of an academic self - concept scale titled dimensions of self - concept (DOSC), which provides an assessment of standing in five factor subscales : level of aspiration, anxiety, academic interest and satisfaction, leadership and initiative, and identification versus alienation and b. to examine factorial invariance of scores across gender and age groups A convenience sample of 877 seventh - , eight - and ninth - grade students participated in a suburban area of changhua, taiwan. The research findings provided promising support for the convergent and discriminant validity of scores on the subscales corresponding to five hypothesized constructs. From a practical standpoint, the findings reported in this investigation indicated that the factor coefficients, the factor variance / covariance, and various errors across age and gender groups were invariant across groups.
