| Резюме: | This study sought to assess the relationship between self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-concept and depression in adolescents. For this purpose, we tracked depressive symptoms and the levels of self-efficacy, self-esteem and self-concept, as well as the ability to predict these constructs on symptoms. Finally, we checked if there is a relationship between predictor(s) and symptoms moderated by gender and age. The sample consisted of 501 adolescents, with a mean age of 16.4 years. Almost half of the adolescents had a positive screening diagnosis for depression and moderate levels in the three constructs. Only self-efficacy was a negative predictor of symptomatology, and this relationship didn’t suffer from the interaction of the sex or age. The results show the relevance of self-efficacy in understanding the occurrence of depression in this group, providing support for its diagnosis, preventive actions and treatment. |
