      ab: A study was conducted using a bioecological model of human development to construct and test a family model for examining the relationships between family environments and students' self-concept. Data were drawn from 1,305 18-year-old South African students, who completed questionnaires dealing with family human capital, parenting style, sibling structure, family social capital, and self-concept. The findings indicated that the nature of the relationships among sibling variables, family social capital, and self-concept differed among the distal family contexts, and between females and males. It was concluded that perceptions of family social capital might have to be strengthened considerably for some young people if there are to be meaningful changes in outcomes for those young people; and different approaches to environmental change will need to be adopted within the various distal family contexts and in families with different sibling structures.
