Self-Concept and Anxiety Among Children and Adolescents with Albinism in Israel as a Function of Syndrome Characteristics, Age and Sex

This study compared the self-concept and anxiety levels of children and adolescents with albinism as compared to a control group of regular subjects. The differences in these two variables within the albino group between children and adolescents and between males and females were also examined. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between the subjects with albinism and the controls, but there were significant differences within the albino group related to the sex and age of the subject.
