Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo por objetivo analizar la relación entre autoestima,
claridad de autoconcepto y salud mental en un grupo de adolescentes de Lima
Metropolitana. Para ello, se aplicaron la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (RSES), la
Escala de Claridad de Autoconcepto (SCCS) y el Inventario de Problemas Conductuales
(YSR) a 355 participantes (204 varones y 151 mujeres) entre 14 y 17 años. Los
resultados obtenidos muestran diferencias significativas según sexo. Las adolescentes
puntúan menos en autoestima y más en problemas de internalización que los varones,
asimismo se han nivelado con ellos en comportamientos problemas globales. La
claridad de autoconcepto es más relevante para los varones que para las mujeres en las
escalas sindrómicas, y es clave en problemas externalizados para ambos sexos. Para el
grupo de mujeres, la autoestima resulta ser importante para trastornos de
internalización.
