SMITH, Peter B.; PEREZ FLORIANO, Lorena y DIAZ RIVERA, Paola Eunice. Dimensions of Self-Construal Associated with Self-Esteem and Depression: A Study among Mexican Students. Acta de investigación psicol [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.2, pp.46-53. Epub 22-Nov-2019. ISSN 2007-4719. https://doi.org/10.22201/fpsi.20074719e.2019.2.263.
The relationship between dimensions of self-construal and reported mood states is examined among two samples of Mexican students. Scales focused on seven different aspects of self-construal were employed. Respondents favored predominantly individualistic ways of describing themselves, but also scored high on connection to others. These effects were particularly strong among respondents from Tijuana when compared with those from Mexico City. Depressive mood state was predicted by higher self-reported connection with others, commitment to others, receptiveness to influence and behavioral variability. High self-esteem was predicted by higher self-reported consistency, self-orientation, self-direction and expressiveness.
