Abstract: 

The following investigation will talk about self-concept in scholar children when it comes to the Mexican context. The objectives are to determine the level of self-concept of the participants and whether the diverse variables, such as age, gender, grade and school, are definite factors in that level of self-concept or not. A quantitative non-experimentaland cross-sectional study was conducted with 202children, who were the object of the investigation, by using the scale of self-concept of PiersHarris. The results show that these children present a very low level of self-concept. Age was only correlated to the feeling of happiness and satisfaction. Despite gender is not a determining variable in self-concept, the school grade is. Furthermore, the school itself is a determining variable only when it comes to the behavioral and the anxiety dimensions of self-concept.
