This study aimed to evaluate the association between learning difficulties and self-esteem in adolescents in northern Chile. The study sample comprised 116 students aged 13–17 years from government-subsidized schools. The Child and Adolescent Assessment System (SENA) was used to measure the variables considered in this study. The results showed that learning and school problems were able to predict 16% (F = 6.416; p = .000; R ² _a = 0.16) of self-esteem variance. It seems that students who present difficulties in their learning process are more vulnerable to not appreciating their qualities and feeling less proud of themselves, which could decrease their self-esteem. These findings should inform the design of future psychoeducational interventions that promote healthy self-esteem.

学习困难青少年的自尊：基于学生、家长和教师的视角研究

本研究旨在评估智利北部青少年学习困难与自尊之间的关联。研究样本包括 116 名来自政府资助学校的 13-17 岁学生。儿童和青少年评估系统 (SENA) 用于衡量本研究中考虑的变量。结果表明，学习和学校问题能够预测 16% ( F  = 6.416; p  = .000; R ² _a = 0.16) 自尊方差。似乎在学习过程中遇到困难的学生更容易不欣赏自己的品质，不那么为自己感到自豪，这可能会降低他们的自尊心。这些发现应该为未来促进健康自尊的心理教育干预的设计提供信息。
