Abstract
The purpose of this study is three-fold: 1)to analyze the selfconcept, self-esteem and psychopathological symptoms in subjects with and without hearing impairment; 2) to explore whether there were differences according to gender in the self-concept, self-esteem and psychopathological symptoms in both samples; 3) to study the relationships between self-concept/self-esteem and psychopathological symptoms in particlpants with and without hearing impairment. The sample is made up of 130 participants aged 19 to 40, 72 without hearing impairment and 58 with hearing impairment. The study uses a descriptive and correlational methodology. For the measurement of the variables three assessment instruments were applied: LAEA, EA, SCL-90-R. The ANOVA results show that both samples did not have any significant differences in self-concept and self-esteem. However, hearing impaired had significantly higher scores in all psychopathological symptoms except in somatization. 80th samples did not show significant gender differences neither in self-concept/self-esteem nor in psychopathological symptoms: impaired women only had higher scores than men in the distress index, and non impaired women in the distress index and phobic anxiety. Pearson coefficients showed significant inverse relationships between selfconcept/ self-esteem and total psychopathological symptoms.
