In order to achieve this objective, we have studied the relationship between playing sport or the absence of it and the general and physical self-concept of Spanish and Brazilian young people. Likewise, we have also analysed differences regarding age, gender and academic background. The corpus of study consists of 476 young subjects ages 19-30 (292 from Spain and 184 from Brazil). The data have been compiled from the Cuestionario de Autoconcepto (Self-Concept Questionnaire), which was devised for this purpose. The results indicate that practitioners have a better physical self-concept, but not a better general one. Men show a better physical self-concept than women and Brazilians consider themselves more positively than Spanish subjects do. No differences are found regarding the subjects' age or academic background. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/69649 | ISSN: | 1132-239X | Source: | Revista de psicología del deporte [ISSN 1132-239X],v. 17 (2), p. 221-239 | URL: | http://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=2877414 |
