Abstract
Authors describe two adjectival, pair-comparisons, self-concept scales (one for males, one for females). Both reflect development in self-concept during adolescence. Both cross-validate. Both predict concurrent, self-reported drug-use behavior: beer and wine, cigarettes, hard liquor, marijuana (males only), and LSD (males only).
