Este trabajo: 1) categoriza las causas estructurales y familiares por las que se institucionaliza a un niño; 2) analiza la agresividad y autoestima de los niños institucionalizados, y 3) parte de la hipótesis de que los niños institucionalizados son más agresivos y tienen menor autoestima que los no-institucionalizados. Los datos provienen de una muestra de 733 niños institucionalizados. Un análisis factorial, hecho a partir de un análisis de Cluster, detecta tres factores: 1) adversidad y violencia familiar, que aglutina: violencia familiar, ruptura familiar, modelos parenterales negativos, adversidad familiar, deprivación social y enfermedad mental; 2) delincuencia, y 3) ausencia de núcleo familiar. Se aplicaron tres instrumentos de agresividad (emitida, recibida e inhibida) y uno de autoestima. El análisis factorial de estos instrumentos detecta 18 factores de agresividad y cuatro de autoestima. La comparación niños institucionalizados versus no institucionalizados, en los 22 factores, confirma la hipótesis planteada.This work: 1) categorizes the estructural and familiar causes, which take the children to institutions; 2) also analyzes the establishment childrens aggressivity and self-steem; 3) hypothesis: the establishment children are more agressive and l e s ~se lf-steem than the non-establishment ones.

The comparison establishment children versus non-establishment in 22 factors verifies the hipothesis
