This study investigated self concept and reading achievement of experimental and control subjects. Experimental group utilized fourteen commercial cassette tapes entitled "Dynamics of Personal Growth and Motivation" as the treatment associated with 60 hours of remedial reading instruction. The control group was provided 60 hours of remedial reading instruction. Both groups were staffed with the same reading teachers. The design employed was a pretest and posttest control group with matching subjects / (DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI) / Subjects for this project were fifty-eight Caucasian males enrolled in a remedial reading program during the spring and summer of 1982. The population sample consisted of equal numbers of sergeants, corporals, and privates whose ages ranged from 17 to 29 years. / The investigator provided the orientation and the administration of the fourteen prerecorded taped counseling treatment sessions, in-treatment and post evaluations to the experimental group. The pre- and posttest of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale, and California Achievement Test were administered by classroom teachers and a test administrator. / Analysis of pretest-posttest Total Positive Scale, Self Criticism Scale, Self Satisfaction Scale scores, and Total Reading Achievement scores, obtained by administration of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale and the California Achievement Test (Form A and B), indicated significant differences (at the .05 level) in affective and reading achievement between the experimental and control subjects. No significant differences were identified between the two groups with low self concept as measured by the Behavior Scale score on the Tennessee Self Concept Scale and reading achievement. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-12, Section: A, page: 3768. / Thesis (Educat.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
