Significant differences were found between our sample and the normative sample on the SDQ-III, with our sample scoring higher in Religion, Honesty, Relations with Opposite Sex, Physical Appearance, and General self-concept and lower in Math, Emotional Stability, and Relations with Parents. The later the age at which Korean adoptees were placed, the higher their Math and Honesty self-concept subscores were. The Verbal self-concept score, however, was negatively related with age of placement of Korean adoptees. In general, our findings suggested that certain aspects of self-concept were influenced by early or later placement of Korean adoptees. Implications of findings are discussed.
