SELF-ESTEEM AND PERSONAL VALUE PRIORITIES. AN ANALYSIS OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN ADOLESCENCE
Abstract
This study examines the relationship between several dimensions of the self-concept and individual value priorities. A Self-concept Questionnaire (AUT30) and the Schwartz Value Survey were administered. Results show that there is not an identifiable coherent value profile linked to high global self-esteem. However, when different dimensions of self-esteem are separately analyzed –i.e., academic and physical self-esteem-, a distinctive coherent value profile emerges that significantly relates to each of them. Adolescents with high academic self-esteem attach a greater weight to prosocial, conformity and self-direction values. Adolescents with high physical self-esteem regard self-enhacement and security values as relatively more important. Results are discussed and future lines of research are suggested.Downloads
