(6) Those three subscales behavior, happiness and contentment, intelligence and school) play an important role on pupils'academic achievement, and the influence increasingly decreases.Conclusion:(1) Pupils self-awareness scale scores shows negatively skewness distribution overall. There is a significant gender difference between boys and girls, and there is a significant grade difference between grade five and grade six students only in body appearance subscale. (2) There is a positive correlation among the self-awareness scale total points, three subscales and academic performance total score and scores of Chinese, Math, and English.
