The self-image of children who wear glasses

Abstract

The question asked in this paper is Does the self-image of children who wear glasses differ from the self-image of children who do not wear glasses? The experimental method was to administer a standardized test of self-image to a number of elementary school students and compare ratings of self-image and physical appearance between glasses wearers and nonglasses wearers. Boys who wear glasses were found to have higher measures of both self-image and physical appearances than boys who do not wear glasses
