O autoconceito é sentido de forma diferente entre géneros, com uma pontuação mais diminuída nas raparigas em dimensões como a ansiedade, popularidade, aparência física e satisfação global. Diferenças foram também registadas no decorrer do seu desenvolvimento académico. Estes achados reforçam a necessidade de privilegiar o autoconceito na promoção da saúde mental junto da comunidade educativa e, particularmente, junto dos adolescentes. Tendo em conta os dados recolhidos não será de desvalorizar uma intervenção dirigida a questões de género, elencando as dimensões diagnosticadas como menos satisfatórias e visando uma intervenção mais dirigida e focada dada a importância do autoconceito. ô±ô¢ôôôô¼ô¿ôôô´ôôôô ôôô´ô¢ô±ô¹ôôô¢ôôô¢ô´ôô¸ôôô±ô¿ôô¸ô±ôôôô¸ôô¿ôô¼ô¢ô±ôô¢ôôô ôôôô¿ô±ô¿ô´ô¿ôô¸ôô¸ôô¦ôô¢ô´ô¼ôô¢ô´ôôô¢ôô´ô£ôô¢ô±ôôôô¢ôô¢ôôô¸ôôôôô¸ô´ôôô¿ôô¢ôô´ôô¢ô´ôôô¿ô¸ô´ôôô´ô¼ô¿ôô¸ôô¸ô´ô como menos satisfatórias e visando uma intervenção mais dirigida e focada, dada a importância do autoconceito.
