Abstract
This research investigated possible differences between the individual self concepts of bearded and non-bearded college men. Two groups of college men, 50 bearded (B) and 50 non-bearded (NB), were randomly selected, interviewed, and given the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS). Subjects were placed into appropriate categories by judges when they were present during testing times, and by the researcher when they were not. No significant differences in the self concepts existed between groups. These results may reflect what may be expected from other groups or college men.
