The concept of self is probably the most distinctive and indispensable concept in psychology. Self-concept is the overall idea we have about who we are and includes cognitive and affective judgments about ourselves. Self-concept is multi-dimensional, incorporating our views of ourselves in terms of several different aspects (e.g., social, religious, spiritual, physical, emotional. With a view to construct and standardize the self-concept tool, the researcher selected research components such as self-awareness, self-direction, self-esteem, self-control and self-image to collect the research data. Survey research method was used to collect the quantitative data from the secondary level students. The students of Kutch district from the total population of Central Gujarat were selected for the study through simple random sampling technique. The researcher prepared 50 statements in the tool under 5 dimensions of self-concept. 10 questions were there in each dimension. After revising and editing carefully the tool was given to the research expert for their valuable suggestions and corrections to ensure the quality before standardizing the tool. Thus, content reliability was established. The students of self-financing English medium schools were given the questionnaire. The collected quantitative data were analyzed through correlation analysis technique. The major findings of the study indicate that the students are having a positive correlation between their self-concept and the given dimensions which are self-esteem, self-control and self-image.
