“…Self-esteem stability predicts future behavior independent of self-esteem [18,19]. Specifically, self-esteem is a factor belonging to the content dimension of self-concept in that it refers to one's overall self-evaluation, while self-esteem stability is a factor belonging to the structural dimension of self-concept in that it serves to incorporate detailed factors of self-concept [20,21]. Therefore, individuals with low self-esteem may have high self-esteem stability, and conversely, individuals with high self-esteem may have low self-esteem stability.…”

While the effect of self-esteem stability on life satisfaction is widely verified, it is not very known how coping strategies explain this relationship. The present study focused on proactive coping, a preliminary step to minimize the impact of expected stressors, and a process of recognizing stressful events as challenges and actively managing them. Specifically, this study (N = 280) examined whether proactive coping and perceived stress mediated the relationship between self-esteem stability and life satisfaction in a sequential manner. The results indicate that proactive coping and perceived stress sequentially mediated the relationship between self-esteem stability and life satisfaction, respectively. This demonstrates that proactive coping and perceived stress are factors that link self-esteem and life satisfaction. However, there was no direct effect between self-esteem and life satisfaction. These findings suggest the need to consider combining proactive coping interventions to increase the effectiveness of a self-esteem stability promotion program. The practical implications and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

“…To this end, efforts should be made to enhance or (re)structure adolescents' self-concept to improve their personal adjustment, which can be achieved through greater stability in their social environment, as well as through promoting selfconcept through psycho-pedagogical programmes, psychotherapy or other educational and social activities (Polak, Puttler, & Ilgen, 2012).…”

Students with Special Educational Needs and those from families with social risk are more likely to develop problems in their personal adjustment, so that it is thus necessary to outline educational strategies promoting self-concept. The aim of this study is to understand the influence of sociodemographic and occupational variables in the development of self-concept in students with neurodevelopmental (Special Educational Needs -SEN) and social risk, in order to outline actions, which will promote their personal and social adjustment. This is an exploratory, cross-sectional study, using a non-random, convenience sample for this purpose, comprised of 124 pupils with developmental (SEN) and social risk, aged between 13 and 17 years of age. The data collection instruments were as follows: a sociodemographic questionnaire and Adolescents' Self-concept Short Scale (ASCSS) by Veiga and Leite (2016). This instrument consists of six subscales that assess specific aspects of self: Anxiety, Physical Appearance, Behaviour, Popularity, Happiness, Intellectual Status. The results show that there are statistically significant differences in self-concept, depending on the type of risk, gender and participation in free time activities; however, no differences were found as a function of age. The results show promising lines of analysis, and as our aim was to outline socio-educational actions, which promote the self-concept of students with developmental (SEN) and social risk in their lives (family, school and community), thereby enhancing better personal adjusted and well-being.
