摘要：The present study is an attempt to explore academic achievement and home environment
as correlates of self-concept in a sample of 300 adolescents. The results of the study revealed selfconcept
to be positively correlated with academic achievement, though not significantly so. A
significantly positive relationship of home environment components of protectiveness, conformity,
reward, and nurturance with self-concept is revealed, thereby meaning that use of rewards and
nurturance from parents should be done for positive self-concept development among adolescents.
However, the correlation of social isolation, deprivation of privileges and rejection components of
home environment is significantly negative with self-concept among adolescents indicating that for
positive self-concept development among adolescents, there should be less or no use of social
isolation, deprivation of privileges and rejection. The study has implications for educationists and
parents as well.
