The purpose of the present study was to investigate the self-concept of Chinese dyslexic children in primary school, and explore the influence factors of self-concept as well as its relationship with parenting style. A total of 50 children with dyslexia and 50 non-dyslexics matched for age, grade and gender participated in the study. We used the Piers-Harris children\u2019s self-concept scale (PHCSS) and the Chinese version of Egna Minnen Betr\u00e4ffande Uppfostran for Children (EMBU-C) to evaluate the self-concept and parenting styles of the study population. Our results indicated that the academic competence, popularity and general self-concept in the dyslexic group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p &lt; 0.05). Based on the multivariate linear regression, we also found that residence (\u03b2 = \u22120.32, p &lt; 0.05) and physical activity (\u03b2 = 0.36, p &lt; 0.01) may influence factors self-concept in dyslexic children. In addition, a moderate and positive correlation was found between the self-concept of physical appearance and maternal emotional warmth (r = 0.36, p &lt; 0.05) by using the Spearman correlation analysis. Our outcomes suggested that children with dyslexia have a poorer self-concept than typical developing children. The self-concept of dyslexic children should be improved in order to achieve better physical and mental development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18189718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,15]],"date-time":"2021-09-15T12:00:44Z","timestamp":1631707244000},"page":"9718","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Self-Concept in Primary School Student with Dyslexia: The Relationship to Parental Rearing Styles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Anyan","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Center, Shantou University Medical College, North Taishan Road, Shantou 515065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingfan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine, Shantou University Medical College, Shantou 515041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuanzhi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Center, Shantou University Medical College, North Taishan Road, Shantou 515065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7560-7670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuhang","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Center, Shantou University Medical College, North Taishan Road, Shantou 515065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuecong","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Center, Shantou University Medical College, North Taishan Road, Shantou 515065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5163-2524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kusheng","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Medicine, Shantou University Medical College, Shantou 515041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4628-7089","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanhong","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Center, Shantou University Medical College, North Taishan Road, Shantou 515065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"385","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cognition.2006.04.008","article-title":"From single to multiple deficit models of developmental disorders","volume":"101","author":"Pennington","year":"2006","journal-title":"Cognition"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1038\/nrn3836","article-title":"Sensory theories of developmental dyslexia: Three challenges for research","volume":"16","author":"Goswami","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nat.
