Abstract(s)
Poucas são as investigações sobre o autoconceito realizadas com crianças de idade pré-escolar. Neste
estudo procuramos contribuir para uma melhor compreensão do desenvolvimento normativo do
autoconceito, no período pré-escolar, nomeadamente, através da análise dos efeitos que o sexo e a
idade têm no mesmo. Tratando-se de um estudo longitudinal, a amostra foi composta por 83 crianças
portuguesas, avaliadas no seu autoconceito aos quatro e aos cinco anos de idade, através da Pictorial
Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children – PSPCSA. As crianças
apresentaram resultados muito elevados em todos os domínios do autoconceito, em ambas as idades
Os dados parecem indicar que os elevados valores do autoconceito começam a declinar já no fi m do
período pré-escolar, pelo menos em alguns domínios, sugerindo, dessa forma, um desenvolvimento
diferenciado do autoconceito, consoante os diferentes domínios avaliados. Finalmente, parecem
existir diferenças no autoconceito relacionadas com o sexo das crianças, favorecendo os rapazes.
Os nossos resultados contribuem para uma melhor compreensão do processo de desenvolvimento
do autoconceito
ABSTRACT: There are few investigations on the self-concept of preschool children. The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the normative development of self-concept in preschool children, particularly by analyzing the effects of gender and age. In a longitudinal study, our sample consisted of 83 Portuguese children, and data were collected at four and fi ve years old. Self-concept was measured by the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children - PSPCSA. Children presented very high results in all areas of self-concept at both ages. Data seem to indicate that self-concept starts to decline towards the end of the preschool period, at least in some areas. Results suggest a differentiated process of self-development, according to the different domains assessed. Finally, there seem to be differences in self-concept related to the children’s gender, favoring boys. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the developmental process of self-concept.
