The purpose of the current study was to determine the constructs of self-perception which are most important to children living in Chinese cultures. The theoretical and methodological format used in this study was based on Susan Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Children. An importance inventory that included Harter's original domains in addition to other items related to other constructs thought to be important in Chinese culture was given to 144 sixth grade students at an elementary school in Guangzhou, People's Republic of China. The three constructs of behavior conduct, social acceptance and group orientation were of particular significance to Chinese children's self-perception.
