The current study investigated the self-concept and emotional adjustment of twins and siblings. Ninety-five Caucasian adults from 42 families were recruited through advertisement, referrals, and solicitation at the Twins Days Festival. Women represented 77.89% of the sample. Two tests were mailed to participants: the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale-2 (TSCS-2) (Fitts & Warren, 1996) and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The TSCS-2 contains 6 self-concept scales (Physical, Moral, Family, Social, and Academic/work), 2 summary scales (Total Self-Concept and Conflict), and 3 supplementary measures (Identity, Satisfaction, and Behavior). The NEO-FFI is an inventory of 5 personality traits: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The current study investigated the self-concept and emotional adjustment of twins and siblings. Ninety-five Caucasian adults from 42 families were recruited through advertisement, referrals, and solicitation at the Twins Days Festival. Women represented 77.89% of the sample. Two tests were mailed to participants: the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale-2 (TSCS-2) (Fitts & Warren, 1996) and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The TSCS-2 contains 6 self-concept scales (Physical, Moral, Family, Social, and Academic/work), 2 summary scales (Total Self-Concept and Conflict), and 3 supplementary measures (Identity, Satisfaction, and Behavior). The NEO-FFI is an inventory of 5 personality traits: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness.
520 $a The research design included 2 independent variables (self-concept; emotional adjustment) and 3 groups (older siblings; twins; younger siblings). The hypotheses included: (1) On TSCS-2 measures, Siblings of twins would demonstrate lower Total Self-concept (TOT) scores, higher Conflict (CON) scores and lower Family Self-Concept (FAM) scores than twins, (2) Older siblings of twins would score lower on measures of adjustment as evident by higher scores on the NEO-FFI Neuroticism (N) scale than the other groups, and (3) Twins would evidence greater difficulty with identity issues than their non-twin siblings, but that their overall self-concept would be no different from normative groups.
520 $a Chi-square analyses found no differences in age and education among the 3 groups. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were conducted in 4 comparisons: (1) Older Siblings, Twins, and Younger Siblings; (2) Older Siblings, Monozygotic [MZ] Twins, and Younger Siblings; (3) Non-twin Siblings and Twins; and (4) Older Siblings and Younger Siblings.
520 $a There were no significant differences found among the groups for any of the TSCS-2 and NEO-FFI variables. None of the research hypotheses was supported except the latter part of hypothesis 3 predicting twins' self-concept scores would not differ from the test norms. In summary, the results indicate that older siblings, twins, and younger siblings did not differ on any of the TSCS-2 and NEO-FFI variables. The test scores indicate normal development of self-concept for twins and siblings of twins. The groups performed consistent with general population norms for healthy adjustment and positive self-concept.
