Abstract
ResumenEl interés de las últimas décadas por conocer los factores implicados en el bienestar de los sujetos ha mostrado la estrecha relación entre la satisfacción vital y el autoconcepto físico. Contribuir a mejorar la autopercepción física de las personas, especialmente adolescentes y jóvenes, mejoraría tanto su salud física como mental, repercutiendo positivamente sobre su satisfacción vital. Pese a ello, no se conocen propuestas de intervención que desde una perspectiva multidimensional y cognitiva, traten de mejorar el autoconcepto físico de los jóvenes. En este estudio se evalúa la aplicación de un programa de estas características con 171 estudiantes de universidad; 112 sujetos en el grupo experimental (edad media 20.00, SD=3.36) y 59 en el grupo control (edad media 20.10, SD=3.44). Los resultados no indican mejoras estadísticamente significativas de los sujetos tras la intervención, no obstante ofrecen una información relevante que contribuye a perfilar las características a incluir en el diseño de futuras implementaciones más eficaces y exitosas. AbstractThe interest raised during the last decade about the factors involved in the personal well-being has shown the positive relation between life satisfaction and physical self-concept. Improving the physical self-perception of people, especially during adolescence and youth, would contribute both to their physical and mental health, and therefore, boost their life satisfaction. Despite, there is a lack of intervention proposals which, from a multidimensional and cognitive approach, try to improve the physical self-concept of young people. This study presents and evaluates a program of those features, implemented with 171 university students (112 in the experimental group, mean age 20.00 years, SD = 3.36; and 59 students in the control group, mean age 20.10 years; SD = 3.44). After the completion of the program, no statistically significant differences are found in the physical self-concept scores of the experimental group. Nonetheless, those results suppose relevant information in order to identify the more effective characteristics which future intervention designs should consider to booster their efficacy.
