Resumen

Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre las experiencias en las actividades de disfrute, la claridad en el autoconcepto y la percepción de un futuro significativo en jóvenes que cursan estudios superiores durante la pandemia de covid-19.

Método: Participantes: estudiantes (n = 228), de ambos sexos de distintas carreras de nivel superior de Buenos Aires. Instrumentos: Cuestionario sociodemográfico. Cuestionario de los posibles sí mismos. Escala de propósito vital para estudiantes universitarios. Escala de claridad en el autoconcepto. Escala de Disfrute en la Actividad. Escala de Autorrealización en la Actividad. Escala de Indicadores Físicos y Psicoemocionales de Estrés.

Resultados: más de la mitad de los estudiantes (65,8 %) percibe grandes cambios en su actividad de disfrute durante la cuarentena, pero estos no se relacionan con la percepción de un futuro significativo. La claridad en el autoconcepto predice la probabilidad de alcanzar los posibles sí mismos deseados y la búsqueda de propósito vital. La claridad, el afecto positivo y la autorrealización predicen la identificación de propósito vital. Las variables estudiadas se asocian a menores síntomas de estrés.

Conclusión: los resultados muestran la necesidad de favorecer estas experiencias, así como la exploración del autoconocimiento, valores e intereses, que promuevan la identificación de metas, como factor de protección frente a los efectos y consecuencias del contexto actual.
