MOLINA, María Fernanda; IRIBARNE, Karina; MENENDEZ, María Ángela e ALVAREZ ITURAIN, Analía Roxana. The perception of a significant future and its relationship with self-concept and positive experiences during the covid-19 pandemic in higher level students. Psicogente [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.49, pp.141-164. Epub 21-Mar-2023. ISSN 0124-0137. https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.26.49.5765.
Objective:
Analyze the relationship between experiences in enjoyment activities, self-concept clarity and the perception of a significant future in young people who are pursuing higher education during the covid-19 pandemic.
Method:
Participants: students (n = 228), of both sexes who were studying different higher-level careers in Buenos Aires. Instruments: Sociodemographic questionnaire. Possible Selves Questionnaire. Purpose in Life Scale for College Students. Self-concept clarity Scale. Scale of Enjoyment in Activity, Scale of Personal Achievement. Scale of Physical and Psychoemotional Indicators of Stress.
Results:
More than a half of the students (65,8 %) perceive great changes in their enjoyment activity during the quarantine, but these are not related to the perception of a significant future. Self-concept clarity predicts the probability of attaining possible desired selves and the pursuit of purpose in life Clarity, positive affect, and self-actualization predict purpose in life identification. The variables studied are associated with fewer stress symptoms.
Conclusion:
The results show the need to favor these experiences, as well as the exploration of self-knowledge, values and interests, which promote the identification of goals, as a protective factor against the effects and consequences of the current context.
