The aim of this study was to describe and compare the self-concept, self-esteem and psychopathological symptoms girls and boys in university students. We considered the correlations between these variables, too. 3300 boys and girls (100 boys and 100 girls of every age category in high school and pre university) were fulfilled the self-esteem scale, self-concept questionnaire and psychopathological symptoms inventory (SCL-90-R). Data were analyzed with multiple ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests and was using statistical software SPSS22. Pearson correlation was used to determine correlations between variables (P<0.05). The results showed that there was a significant difference with age in self-concept, self-esteem and the quality of psychopathological symptoms between ages 18-28. Also there were no significant differences due to gender in self-concept and self-esteem, but girls had significantly higher scores in psychopathological symptoms than boys. The results indicated significant negative correlations between self-concept and self-esteem and many of psychopathological symptoms in both boys and girls. The existence of significant inverse relationships between self-concept/self-esteem and psychopathological symptoms suggest that self-concept and self-esteem may be consider as indicators of mental health. Also intervention programmers that promote self-concept and self-esteem in the prevention of psychopathological problems are suggested as necessity.
