Distinct effects of various backgrounds, such as the gender, the grade of school, family structure, birth order, and parenting style, on the self-concept and the sense of well-being of the students were also studied. The research method was the questionnaire survey. The subjects were the 5th and 6th grade students in a public elementary school located in Taoyuan County. A total of 230 questionnaires were retrieved out of 230 questionnaires, and 226 questionnaires were valid. The study tools included the 5th and 6th grade elementary school students’ self-concept scale and the 5th and 6th grade elementary school students’ well-being scale. The data were analyzed by applying descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results were as follows: 1.The self-concept and the sense of well-being of the students were overall positive. 2.The self-concept of the students did not vary with the gender, family structures, and birth order. 3.The 5th and 6th grade school students exhibited different self-concept; the former was higher than the latter. 4.The different self-concept between two grade students were because they received different parenting style from each family; the students receiving the democratic education from parents possessed significantly higher self-concept than those receiving the authoritative education from parents. 5.The sense of well-being of the 5th and 6th students did not vary with the gender, the grade of school, family structures and birth order. 6.The sense of well-being of both 5th and 6th grade students were different because they received different parenting style from each family. 7.There was a significant correlation between the self-concept and the well-being. These results would provide references and possible uses for the teachers, the parents of students, and researchers in the future studies.
