Self-concept dimension was measured using Self-Concept Individual Protective Factors Index meanwhile internalizing and externalizing behaviours using ASEBA School-Age Youth Self Report (YSR). Mediator analysis shows that self-concept is a mediator on the relationship between school factor and internalizing and externalizing behaviour; self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between anxiety and school factor, self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between withdrawal and all subscales of school factor, self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between aggressive behaviour and school factors, self-concept as a mediator on the relationship between rule-breaking behaviour and school factor.
