      ab: Part of a special issue on comparative perspectives on black family life. A study was conducted to examine gender-related differences between family relations and the self-concepts of African adolescents. Data were gathered from a sample of 159 male and 337 female South African students. The results did not support the hypothesis that relations with parents may demonstrate stronger associations with girls than boys. Significant differences were found in global self-concept among these African males and females. Males were found to have higher mean scores in comparison to females on the self-concepts of Relations with Family, Physical Abilities, Emotional Stability, and Relations with Peers. A positive relationship was indicated between perceived parental behaviors and specific dimensions of the self-concepts of males and females.
