Background: Social exclusion victimization among adolescents causes significant damage and harm to development and social balance. Many of the aggressions that lead to this are based on social stigmas, particularly related to physical appearance in school settings involving physical and sports activities. This study investigates the relationship between victimization through social exclusion (both manifest and subtle forms) and physical self-concept, specifically examining ability, attractiveness, physical condition, and strength. Methods: A total of 876 adolescents (mean age = 14.91; standard deviation = 1.71 years), evenly divided between boys and girls, from secondary schools in Andalusia, Spain participated. They completed a self-report questionnaire assessing physical abilities, attractiveness, physical condition, and self-perceived strength, alongside an instrument measuring experiences of social exclusion and manifest exclusion. Results: Our findings indicate that physical ability, attractiveness, and condition are negative statistical predictors of both manifest and subtle exclusion victimization, while self-perceived strength is a statistical predictor of subtle exclusion. Manifest exclusion impacts both genders similarly, but girls are more vulnerable to subtle forms of exclusion. Regardless of gender, physical ability and attractiveness significantly predict both types of exclusion. Conclusions: Our results highlight the importance of physical self-concept for wellbeing and maintaining self-concept balance. The inclusion of interventions addressing social exclusion in physical education is crucial, particularly those that work to mitigate social stigmas against adolescents who struggle in physical or sporting activities. A gender-sensitive approach should also be incorporated. The growing field of research on adolescent social exclusion, both manifest and subtle, underscores the need for further exploration of its links to physical condition, physical activity, self-perception, and societal stereotypes.

La literatura científica ha explicado ampliamente el constructo exclusión social. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que abordan las importantes diferencias y tipos de marginación o exclusión social en el marco de la convivencia escolar. Igualmente son pocos los estudios que focalizan el estudio del fenómeno durante la pubertad y la adolescencia. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido describir los matices del fenómeno y diseñar y validar una escala para su medida (ESMASU). En este trabajo participaron 1013 estudiantes de Educación Primaria y Secundaria de centros educativos de Córdoba. La investigación se desarrolló en dos fases: la primera exploró la idoneidad y la estructura de un instrumento sobre exclusión social que recoge los matices afectivos y conductuales referidos a los sentimientos de la victima de los diferentes tipos de exclusión. En la segunda, mediante un análisis factorial confirmatorio se establece la estructura factorial de una escala de medida que evidencia buenas cualidades psicométricas para la evaluación del constructo exclusión social. Así se obtiene una escala de dos factores -exclusión sutil y exclusión manifiesta- Se discuten los resultados en relación a la idoneidad del instrumento y se expresan las conclusiones en orden tanto a la aportación que el articulo hace a la comprensión del constructo como a su virtualidad para favorecer intervenciones educativas preventivas y paliativas de este tipo de agresión entre iguales.
