Item Habilidades sociales y autoconcepto(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Psicopedagogía, 2025-07-04) Córdova Carrillo Luisa Fernanda; Nieto Viteri Paulina Alexandra; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de PsicopedagogíaThe development of social skills and self-concept is essential for university development. In the Ecuadorian context, this is a transition period characterized by significant changes, frequently generating uncertainty and difficulties in adapting to social demands; therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the influence of social skills on the self-concept of first, second and third semester students of the Psychopedagogy program at the Technical University of Ambato. A mixed method approach was used with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive and correlational design, using the Social Skills Scale (EHS) and the Form 5 SelfConcept Questionnaire (AF5) as instruments. 104 university students between the ages of 17 and 23 participated in the study. The results showed that 36% of the students presented a low level of social skills, with deficits in self-expression, defense and making demands, while 32% showed a low self-concept, mainly in the emotional and physical dimensions. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test (X²=16.558; p=0.002) confirmed the existence of a significant correlation between the two variables. Therefore, it was concluded that the development of social skills positively influences the formation of the self-concept of those evaluated, which is of fundamental importance for integral learning and psychological well-being.
