“…Los resultados indicaron correlaciones moderadas y significativas, lo que va acorde a la teoría expuesta, puesto que la EAR correlaciona adecuadamente con los ítems de autoestima del WHOQOL-BREF. Así también, se evidenció una alta correlación entre la autoestima y el apoyo social percibido por la escala de DUKE-UNC, lo que se corrobora con investigaciones que aseguran que el apoyo social, brindado por los padres por ejemplo, es muy importante para el desarrollo de una buena autoestima en adolescentes (Valsala et al, 2018). Otros estudios apuntan a la fuerte relación que se establece entre el apoyo social junto a la autoestima como mediadores en la felicidad de las personas (Tan et al, 2017) y como factores protectores ante el estrés laboral (Su et al, 2018).…”

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (EAR; Rosenberg, 1965) en el contexto ecuatoriano. Para ello, se evaluó la versión original junto con modelos alternativos propuestos por otras investigaciones en una muestra de 535 adultos en la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio muestran que el modelo bifactor presenta buena consistencia interna y adecuada bondad de ajuste. La validez de criterio se evaluó correlacionando las dimensiones de autoestima positiva y autoestima negativa con las subescalas de dominio psicológico de Calidad de Vida WHOQOL-BREF, Apoyo Social de DUKE y Compromiso con la Vida. Se concluye que la autoestima medida con la EAR es esencialmente unidimensional y que posee la propiedad de invarianza para la variable sexo.

Background Emotional abuse, though often overlooked as a form of maltreatment, can have devastating effects on the psychological well-being of adolescents. In the Indian cultural context, where traditional norms and parental authority are highly emphasized, emotional abuse is a prevalent yet under-recognized issue. This study explores the intricate relationship between emotional abuse, self-concept, and resilience in Indian adolescents, shedding light on how cultural factors exacerbate the impact of such abuse. Objective The primary aim of this study is to examine the effects of emotional abuse on the self-concept and resilience of Indian adolescents aged 13 to 17. Specifically, the study seeks to understand how different forms of emotional abuse—such as rejection, terrorizing, ignoring, isolation, and corruption—cause degradation based on skin colour, academic performance, and gender roles, and how these factors affect the psychological development of adolescents in India. Method This qualitative study employed in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 20 adolescents from the schools of Aligarh Muslim University who have experienced emotional abuse. The interviews were conducted in a private setting, allowing participants to share their experiences candidly. The data were analysed using thematic analysis, with the assistance of NVivo software. Results: Thematic analysis revealed several key themes: the degradation of adolescents based on skin colour, the impact of academic performance pressures, constant comparisons with peers, and the terrorization of girls for defying traditional gender roles. These forms of emotional abuse were found to significantly distort the self-concept of the affected adolescents, leading to feelings of worthlessness, self-doubt, and a diminished sense of self-worth. Additionally, the study found that emotional abuse severely undermines resilience, making it difficult for adolescents to cope with life’s challenges. Conclusion The findings of this study underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions aimed at addressing emotional abuse within the Indian cultural context. Raising awareness among parents, educators, and local government about the subtle yet profound effects of emotional abuse is crucial and call for future research to further explore these dynamics within diverse cultural contexts.
