%X the main goal of this research is to analyze the hierarchical structure of self-concept in adolescents and, additionally, to compare this structure in students who have failed in their academic career and in those who have not. nine hundred and forty-three portuguese students from the 7th, 9th and 11th grades participated in the research. they completed self-concept and self-esteem scales. results support the assertion that self-concept is hierarchically structured, and also support a model that subdivides self-concept into four higher order factors. results also suggest an association between the behavioral dimension and various different higher order dimensions, namely, the two academic self-concept dimensions and the social self-concept one. however, they show divergences when the structure of self-concept between achievers and underachievers is compared. this aspect needs to be examined with greater attention on future researches and interventions.
