Resum

Previous researches have highlighted the importance of the study of self-concept in adolescence. The aim of this study was to analyse gender and age differences in several dimensions of the self-concept. The sample included 1414 Chilean students between 13 and 18 years old. The self-concept was assessed using the SDQII-Short form. Results revealed that girls scored significantly higher in Verbal, Physical Appearance, Honesty-Trustworthiness and Self-esteem self-concepts, whereas boys got higher scores in Maths, Physical Ability, Emotional Stability and Parents Relations self-concepts. It was also observed that older students scored higher in general Academic Self-concept, Physical Ability, Physical Appearance, Opposite Sex Relations and Self-esteem than their younger peers. This same pattern, but the other way round, was obtained for Maths, Verbal and Emotional Stability dimensions. The outcomes did not argue the tendency for men, reported in previous studies, to value more positively their physical appearance and to own higher self-esteem than women, as well as perceive more negatively their parent-child relationships.
