Abstract
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar y comparar diferentes variables sociodemográficas y psicosociales, como la conducta violenta y el autoconcepto físico, con el fin de encontrar respuestas a este problema. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo y transversal con un total de 321 estudiantes (69,8% mujeres y 30,2% hombres) de diferentes Grados de Educación de la Universidad de Granada. Los instrumentos utilizados incluyeron un cuestionario ad hoc y varios cuestionarios estandarizados para evaluar variables psicosociales: el Autoconcepto Forma 5 (AF-5), la escala de Conducta Violenta en la Escuela y la escala de Actitudes hacia la Actividad Física y el Deporte (E.A.F.D.). En cuanto al nivel de actividad física, la puntuación más alta correspondió a la actividad práctica; y respecto a las conductas violentas, los valores más elevados se registraron en la agresión relacional. En relación con el sexo y las demás variables, los hombres presentaron un mayor autoconcepto físico que las mujeres (p<0,05), mientras que en el autoconcepto emocional ocurrió lo contrario (p<0,05). Los hombres mostraron una mayor agresividad que las mujeres (p<0,05); y en cuanto a la percepción de sus propias emociones, el uso y la regulación emocional fueron similares, aunque más acentuados en los hombres. Respecto al autoconcepto físico en relación con las conductas violentas, se observó que quienes presentaban mayores niveles de violencia también tenían un peor autoconcepto físico (p<0,05). En conclusión, un aumento de la actividad física conduce a un mayor control de las emociones negativas (violencia) y también a una mejor autopercepción.
This study aimed to determine and compare different sociodemographic and psychosocial variables, such as violent behaviour and physical self-concept in order to find answers to this problem. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out on a total of 321 students (69.8% female and 30.2 male) from different Education Degrees at the University of Granada. The instruments used included an ad hoc questionnaire and several standardized questionnaires to assess psychosocial variables: the Self-Concept Form 5 (AF-5), the Violent Behaviour at School scale, and the Attitudes towards Physical Activity and Sport scale (E.A.F.D.). Regarding the level of physical activity, the highest score was for practical activity, and regarding violent behaviors, the highest values were recorded for relational aggression. As for the relationship between sex and the other variables, men have a higher physical self-concept than women (p<0.05), while the opposite was true for emotional self-concept (p<0.05). Men exhibited greater aggression than women (p<0.05), and regarding the perception of their own emotions, the use and regulation of emotions was similar, although more pronounced among men than women. Regarding physical self-concept in relation to violent behaviors, it was found that those with higher levels of violence also had a worse physical self-concept (p<0.05). In conclusion, increased physical activity leads to greater control of negative emotions (violence) and also a better self-perception.
