title: Preschool children's motor development and self-concept.
abstract: The relationships among age, motor age, and perceived competence of 31 preschool children were explored. The Peabody Motor Developmental Scales and the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance assessed children's motor age and perceived competence, respectively. Stepwise regression analyses indicated that age followed by perceived competence contributed significantly to children's motor age. However, neither age nor motor age contributed significantly to perceived competence.
