SP - 441 EP - 453 VL - 3 IS - 4 N2 - This study investigated the relationship of adolescent self-concept to perceptions of parents in single and two-parent families. The sample consisted of 558 children, 19% from single-parent homes. Examination of the data indicated that children from single parent families have lower self concepts. There was also a significant relationship between self concept and the adolescents' perceptions of their parents. In addition, perceived love was found to be the best predictor of self concept in adolescents.
