O fenómeno da delinquência juvenil é uma realidade cada vez mais preocupante na nossa sociedade. Na fase crucial da adolescência acontecem a maior parte dos comportamentos desviantes que podem originar percursos delinquentes. A investigação tem vindo a dar importância à relação destes comportamentos com o autoconceito e a autoestima; estes poderão ser determinantes como fatores de proteção do fenómeno.
Este estudo teve como amostra 98 participantes com idades entre os 12 e os 15 anos, moradores em três freguesias limítrofes de Lisboa. Estes responderam a dois questionários: a Escala do Autoconceito e Autoestima para Adolescentes e a Escala da Comportamentos Desviantes. Explorou-se a presença de diferenças significativas entre os sete domínios do autoconceito e da autoestima global e os relatos quantificados de comportamentos desviantes pelos jovens. Os resultados permitiram concluir a existência de diferenças significativas na dimensão do comportamento do autoconceito.

Research has been weighting the relationship between the behaviors and self-concept and self-esteem; these later might be relevant protective factors. This work had a sample of 98 participants aged between 12 and 15 years, living in three Lisbon neighboring parishes. Two questionnaires were used: Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents and Deviant Behaviors Evaluation Scale. The presence of significant differences was explored within the Self-Perception Profile seven domains and the Deviant Behaviors scale. Results revealed significant differences in the Self-Concept behavior domain.
