Abstract

The current postmodern era coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic have provoked a constant situation of fear and uncertainty that could influence the personal development of adolescents. Therefore, it is important to strengthen the capacities (social, emotional, moral and cognitive) of the students in a way that encourages a positive personal development. In this work, a multidimensional test has been designed to evaluate the personal positive development of teenegers. It has been tested if this test was valid and if the results obtained were mathematically related to the different adolescent fears. The test called “Positive_Personal_Tool” was performed using the “EasyLMS” software on a sample of 147 students in high School from Cádiz region in Spain. The Rosenberg test (1965) for self-steem evaluation and Huebner test (1991) for Life Satisfaction were also used as validation and control tests respectively. The results obtained showed that the created test was reliable given that Cronbach’s alpha (0.7-0.9) for each studied variable (fears, areas and capacities). However, the correlation between the PPTT test and selfesteem was affected by population with excess of self-steem. So, other actives of positive personal development should be taken into account for future complete validation of this test. Thus, in general, it was obtained 50% of medium level of self-esteem and 20% of low level of life satisfaction. The different personal areas scored below the average (around 40%) due to, above all, capacities such as the creativity and decision-making capacities, optimism and tolerance to frustration. This fact, joined to very atypical values of fear of the unknown situations; highlighted the effect of COVID-19 pandemic to personal positive development of teenegers.
