Detección de problemáticas conductuales y emocionales y su relación con los estilos parentales en adolescentes de una institución educativa de la cuidad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The present research aimed to determine the prevalence of internalizing problems and their relationship with parental socialization styles in adolescents at a public educational institution in Loja. This study included a sample of 70 first-year unified general baccalaureate (BGU) students aged between 15 and 17 years, of which 64.3% were males and 35.7% were females. The methodology used in this research was a non-experimental quantitative design, descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational in nature. For data collection, three instruments were used: an Ad-hoc sociodemographic form, the Parental Socialization Scale in Adolescents (ESPA-29), and the Child and Adolescent Evaluation System (SENA). It was found that 28.57% of adolescents showed symptoms of internalizing problems. Additionally, the results revealed that the predominant parental style in both parents was the authoritative style. Finally, a significant relationship was found between the parental socialization styles of both parents and the presence of internalizing problems in adolescents.
