El propósito de este trabajo fue profundizar en el análisis de las diferencias de género existentes entre adolescentes respecto de sus niveles de autoconcepto, adoptando un modelo multidimensional sobre este constructo. Para ello se utilizó una muestra de 1235 sujetos (684 chicos y 551 chicas), cuyas edades oscilaban entre los once y catorce años, estudiantes de sexto de Primaria y Primer Ciclo de E.S.O. en siete Centros de Granada (tres urbanos y cuatro rurales). Los resultados obtenidos muestran diferencias significativas entre sexos en tres dimensiones de las nueve evaluadas. Los chicos obtienen mayores niveles de autoconcepto global y emocional, mientras que sus compañeras destacan en autoconcepto familiar. No existen diferencias significativas de género en autoconcepto social, autoconcepto total, académico general, académico percibido de los padres y académico percibido de los profesores
The aim of this research was to deepen in the analysis of gender differences existing between teenagers according to their self-concept levels, adopting a multidimensional model related with this construct. To do so, a 1,235 subject sample (684 boys and 551 girls) with ages raging from eleven to fourteen years old was used. They were all Primary and Secondary (first level) students from seven schools in Granada, Spain –i.e., three of them in the city and three of them in a rural context. The results obtained show meaningful differences between genders in three of the nine dimensions assesed. Whereas boys get higher levels in global and emotional self-concept, their female mates stand out in familiar self-concept. However, no meaningful gender differences were detected in social, total, and general academic self-concept, nor in academic self-concept received from both their parents and their teachers.
