Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las relaciones entre determinadas autopercepciones y la autovalía global con diferentes niveles de frecuencia de participación deportiva en chicos y chicas adolescentes Españoles. Los estudiantes (457 chicos y 460 chicas) cumplimentaron el “Self Perception Profile for Children” (Harter, 1985) e ítems del “Health Behavior in School Children Questionnaire” (Wold, 1995) que valoran la participación deportiva. Los resultados mostraron que algunas dimensiones de autopercepción estaban asociadas con diferentes frecuencias de participación deportiva mientras que los juicios generales de autovalía no lo estaban. En concreto, en chicos y chicas, los elevados niveles de participación deportiva estuvieron positivamente asociados con Competencia Deportiva, y en chicos estuvieron también asociados con Apariencia Física y Aceptación Social. Se destacan las implicaciones potenciales de los procesos de socialización en determinados ámbitos sobre la configuración de las autopercepciones.
