RESUMO

Enquadrando-se no modelo multidimensional proposto por Marsh e Shavelson (1985), este estudo procura verificar em que medida diferentes graus de participação desportiva (nula, passada ou actual) estão associados a estruturas de auto-conceito diferentes e, simultaneamente, verificar de que modo a participação desportiva está relacionada com diferentes níveis nos diversos domínios do auto-conceito. A versão adaptada para Portugal do SDQ III (Faria & Fonatine, 1992) foi aplicada a 218 sujeitos de ambos os sexos com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e 30 anos, nunca praticantes de algum tipo de modalidade desportiva (n=69), antigos praticantes de desporto (n=72) e praticantes actuais de uma modalidade (n=77). São analisadas as diferenças entre estes grupos nos diferentes domínios do auto-conceito, assim como exploradas as diferenças entre sexos e idades. Os resultados obtidos permitem verificar que os praticantes de desporto apresentam valores mais elevados ao nível do Autoconceito total, e que os homens se diferenciam significativamente das mulheres em domínios como a Competência e Aparência Física. São apresentadas outras diferenças e discutidas à luz do modelo teórico acima referido

Palavras-chave: Auto-conceito, participação desportiva, SDQ III.

 

 

ABSTRACT

Based on the multidimensional model proposed by Marsh and Shavelson (1985), this study tries to verify in what manner different level of sport participation (people who never play sport; abandoned sport and still plays sport) are associated to different self-concept structures. Simultaneously, the study pretends to access how sport participation is related with different levels in the various domains of self-concept. The portuguese version of SDQ III (Faria & Fontaine, 1992) was administrated to 218 subjects (male and female), with ages between 17 and 35 years, non-praticants (n=69), past-praticants (n=72) and praticants (n=77) of different kind of sport. The differences between these groups in differents domains of self-concept were analyse, well as the differences between gender and age were explored. The results revealed that global self-concept was higher in sport participants and that men and women differ significantly in terms of Physical Appearance and Competence.

Key words: Self-concept, sport participation, SDQ III.
