El estudio se plantea 3 objetivos: 1) analizar
comparativamente el autoconcepto, la autoestima y síntomas
psicopatológicos en personas con y sin deficiencia auditiva; 2)
explorar diferencias de género en el autoconcepto, la autoestima
y síntomas psicopatológicos en ambas muestras; y 3) estudiar
las relaciones existentes entre el autoconcepto y la autoestima
con sfntomas psicopatológicos en personas con y sin deficiencia
auditiva. La muestra está configurada por 130 participantes de
19 a 40 años, 72 sin deficiencia y 58 con deficiencia auditiva. El
estudio empleó una metodologfa descriptiva y correlacional. Se
aplicaron 3 instrumentos de evaluación: LAEA, EA, SCL-90-R.
Los ANOVAs confirmaron que los participantes con deficiencia
auditiva no tenfan diferencias en autoconcepto y autoestima
respecto a los norm-oyentes, sin embargo tenfan puntuaciones superiores en todos los sfntomas psicopato/ógicos excepto en
somatización. No se evidenciaron diferencias de género en
autoconcepto, autoestima, y sfntomas pslcopato/ógicos ni en
los participantes con deficiencIa auditiva ni en los normoyentes:
ansiedad fóbica. Los coeficientes de Pearson pusieron de relieve
correlaciones negativas del autoconcepto y la autoestima con
la puntuación total de sfntomas psicopato/ógicos.
The purpose of this study is three-fold: 1) lo analyze the selfconcept,
self-esteem and psychopatho/ogical symptoms in
subjects with and without hearing impalrment; 2) to explore whether
there were differences accordíng lo gender in the self-concept,
self-esteem and psychopatholog/cal symptoms in both samples;
3) to study the relationships between self-concept/self-esteem and
psychopatho/ogical symptoms in particlpants with and without
hearing impairment. The sample Is made up of 130 partic/pants
aged 19 to 40, 72 without hearing impairment and 58 with hearing
impairment. The study uses a descriptive and corre/ational
methodo/ogy. For the measurement of the variables three
assessment Insfruments were applied: LAEA, EA, SCL-90-R. The
ANO VA results show that both samples did not have any significant
differences In self-concept and self-esteem. However, hearing
impa/red had slgnlficantly hlgher scores In all psychopathological
symptoms except In somatization. 80th samples did not show
significant gender differences neither in self-concept/self-esteem
nor in psychopatho/ogical symptoms: impaired women only had
higher scores than men in the distress index, and non impaíred
women in the distress index and phobic anxiety. Pearson
coefficients showed significant inverse relationships between selfconcept/
self-esteem and total psychopathological symptoms.
