Evaluación del autoconcepto en adolescentes madres y adolescentes gestantes del colegio Antonio Avila

Abstract

This investigation is the study of cases which pretends to systematize the evaluation of self-concept in adolescent mothers and adolescent pregnant girls theoretically. This is a determinant factor in their life project and in the construction of their personal identity during their adolescence. From the multidimensional perspective the five dimensions of self-concept are: 1. Academicals/occupational: Perception of the role as an student and worker. 2. Social: Perception of the adolescent in social relations. 3. Emotional: Control of the emotions. 4. Familiar:Integration to family environment. 5. Physical: Body evaluation of the subject. Positive and negative self- concept in adolescents influence their academic results, adaptation to new situations, appreciation of their own bodies, abilities, and social and emotional behaviors Villa (1992, cited in Mangato, 2003). In order to obtain these results the test AF-5 from Garcia y Musitu (2004) was applied to them. The results show a low tendency in the majority of their dimensions.
