Enhancing Latin American Women's Self-Concept: A Group Intervention

TL;DRAbstract

This study attempts to explore the self-concept of Latin American immigrant adult women and measure the effectiveness of an "Enhancing Self-Concept" workshop on improving their self-concept. The sample consisted of 74 adult women aged 20 to 60 who were selected from first-level second-language courses from various educational institutions in Montreal. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group who received an "Enhancing Self-Concept" workshop or a control group who received a series of information sessions. Outcome measures consisted of scores on the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS) and a Post-Intervention Questionnaire (PIQ). Participants were tested before and after their respective treatments, depending on the measure used. The results are discussed in relation to effectiveness of the "Enhancing Self-Concept" workshop in improving immigrant Latin American women's self-concept. Implications and suggestions for future research are included.
