O capital psicológico e a iniciativa para o crescimento pessoal são recursos pessoais que podem gerar benefícios em diferentes ambientes vitais, como o contexto escolar durante a adolescência. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a correlação entre essas variáveis em alunos do ensino médio na província de Entre Ríos, Argentina, em três momentos de sua trajetória escolar. O estudo é quantitativo, sendo uma pesquisa longitudinal e descritivo-correlacional. O Questionário de Capital Psicológico e a Escala de Iniciativas de Crescimento Pessoal, ambos instrumentos adaptados a uma amostra argentina, foram usados para a coleta dos dados. Em cada um dos momentos avaliados, foram obtidas correlações estatisticamente significativas de natureza positiva entre todas as dimensões. Com base nos resultados, é possível supor que um aluno que possui os recursos que constituem o capital psicológico também terá a capacidade de se beneficiar das oportunidades de mudança e crescimento que surgirem. Também é digno de nota que os escores de associação diminuíram ligeiramente no final da terceira parte do estudo, coincidindo com o meio da adolescência. Nessa fase, tende a haver certa instabilidade, várias mudanças, dúvidas sobre o futuro; por todos esses motivos, é essencial promover os pontos fortes pessoais dos alunos adolescentes, fomentando seu desenvolvimento por meio de intervenções psicológicas.
