Abstract: Eight junior high school students with low scores on peer-relations self-concept and self-esteem scales and eight with high scores were video taped in a choral music classroom. Hand, body, and viewing behaviors occurring on the tapes were analyzed. During non- instructional free time, the low scorers touched themselves more frequently than did the high scorers. No other significant differences in the behaviors of the two groups were detected.
