The first aim of this study was to determine by Q-sorts the nature of the self, ideal self and ideal opposite sex concept of the adlescent. The second aim was to confirm the relationship among those concepts by Q-technique. 85 cards were prepared and on each of them was described a word which indicated one of various presonality traits. The subjects were required to classify the cards into seven grades in the order of the accordance of the personality traits first with their self concept, second with ideal self concept, and third with ideal opposite sex concept. The results are as follows : 1. There is a similarity between the self concept and ideal self concept. The self concept should be reflected in the ideal self concept. 2. On the other hand, the ideal opposite sex cencept shows a considerable contrast with the self concept. In the ideal opposite sex concept, the subject is likely to highly appreciate the traits he lacks in his self concept. 3. Those subjects who show greater discrepancies between self sorting and ideal self sorting and those who show less discrepancies were selectited. As a result of the analysis of them by Q-technique, two factors are found. The first factor reflects the tendency toward introspection or self reflection, and is found mostly among the subjects who show greater discrepancies. The second factor reflects a tendency toward self acceptance and of setting a high value on social adjustment. It is found primarily among subjects who show less discrepancies.
