Choosing a university major is a key decision for young adults, as it shapes their professional path and influences how they adjust to academic life. This issue has gained growing relevance due to the increasing number of students entering higher education without adequate vocational guidance, a situation that often leads to low motivation, weak academic performance, and dropout. In Ecuador, this challenge is reflected in national assessment results and in the persistent difficulties students face in remaining in their programmers during the first semesters. This study examined the relationship between university major choice and academic performance among fourth-semester students in the Faculty of Human Sciences and Education at the Technical University of Ambato. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive and correlational scope was applied. The sample consisted of 210 students who completed structured instruments assessing factors associated with vocational decision-making, while academic performance was measured using the RAU scale. Data analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics and Spearman’s Rho correlation. The findings indicate a positive but weak association between the two variables. This suggests that choosing a major aligned with students’ interests, abilities, and motivations tends to support better academic performance, although external conditions—such as family environment, socioeconomic constraints, and limited access to professional guidance—also exert a strong influence. The study aligns with the Social Exclusion and Inclusion line of inquiry and offers an updated perspective on how career choice relates to academic achievement in higher education. As a final contribution, the research proposes a Social Work–based intervention aimed at strengthening academic support, fostering self-awareness, and improving vocational guidance processes

Cognitive distortions consist of those patterns of negative thoughts that affect the way a person perceives their reality and the circumstances of their environment. This occurs when the individual processes, encodes, and retrieves the information they receive in a selective manner, giving preference to that which fits previous mental models and tends toward the irrational, extreme, and pessimistic. In the university context, distortions can generate frustration or discouragement when expectations are not met, impacting persistence in the academic sphere, the sense of self-efficacy, and the ability to cope with students’ everyday situations or with their capacity for resilience. The novelty of the subject of study lay in deeply understanding how these negative thinking patterns affect the resilience of university students and, additionally, exploring how academic resilience can mitigate these thoughts. The line of research focused on Social Exclusion and Integration, with the objective of this study being to analyze the incidence of cognitive distortions in the academic resilience of university students. The study was quantitative in nature, using descriptive and correlational levels, each of them with their analytical-synthetic, deductive, and hypotheticaldeductive methods. The instruments applied were the Automatic Thoughts Inventory by Ruiz and Lujan (1991) and the Resilience Scale proposed by Wagnild and Young (1993), administered to 227 students from the second and seventh semesters of the Faculties of Systems, Electronics, and Industrial Engineering, and of Jurisprudence and Social Sciences at the Technical University of Ambato. The results obtained showed that, instead of a directional incidence of cognitive distortions on the academic resilience of university students, a bidirectional correlation should be considered, where it is established that a greater presence of academic resilience corresponds to a lower presence of cognitive distortions, and likewise, a greater cognitive distortion corresponds to a lower presence of resilience characteristics

This research addresses the topic of "New Masculinities and Fatherhoods Among University Students", exploring how young Industrial Engineering students at the Faculty of Systems, Electronics, and Industrial Engineering of the Technical University of Ambato perceive and experience these social transformations. The study is relevant in the current context, where traditional gender roles are being challenged, promoting more equitable masculinities and more engaged fatherhoods. This issue is particularly significant in the university setting, where students are in the process of personal and professional development, shaping their future identities and roles. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Two validated instruments were applied: the Hegemonic Masculinity Roles Inventory (HMRI) and the Paternal Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ), to a sample of 183 students, 7 of whom were fathers. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for correlational analysis, supplemented with interviews to delve deeper into participants' experiences. This research aligns with the broader study of social exclusion and integration, highlighting the need to promote models of masculinity and fatherhood that foster gender equity and emotional well-being. The findings reveal that student fathers exhibit stronger adherence to new masculinities, characterized by active and affective parenting, in contrast to their non-father peers, who still display traits of hegemonic masculinity. The study concludes by proposing an educational programmed from a Social Work perspective, aimed at fostering positive masculinities and responsible fatherhoods in the university environment.

Ambivalent sexism is defined as discrimination through gender roles and stereotypes based on the biological sex of people, this is divided into hostile sexism as those traditional behaviors in relation to the subordination and control of men towards women, and benevolent sexism as contemporary discriminatory behaviors in relation to the protection and care of men towards women. The objective of the research is to determine the types of ambivalent sexism in university students in the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Social Sciences, the study is of a quantitative nature where we worked with 300 students aged 18 years and older. The level of research used was descriptive and exploratory with the deductive method. The instrument used was the Inventory of Ambivalent Sexism (ISA) created by Glick and Fiske in 1996, adapted to Spanish by Espósito, Muya and Glick in 1998, and adapted and applied by Fernández, Arias and Alvarado in 2017, which is composed of 22 items divided into two dimensions, hostile sexism with 11 items and benevolent sexism with 11 items. The results obtained showed that university students have moderate level of hostile sexism and benevolent sexism, women are those who have higher levels of ambivalent sexism, young adults present with higher percentage moderate ambivalent sexism in relation to adults, ambivalent sexism in students is decreasing in higher academic levels, finally, faculty careers present moderate level of sexism in both dimensions

Stalking in digital social networks during the infatuation stage refers to the inappropriate use of intemet browsing that relates to communication with one's partner, through online applications where posts, connectivity, location, and views are activated, in order to stalk, control, harass, and intrude repeatedly and intrusively. The research focused on analyzing the influence of stalking during the infatuation stage in university students, specifically examining the factors and characteristics of digital harassment in Communication students at the Technical University of Ambato. A mixed approach was used, using the survey as a quantitative technique and the questionnaire to assess abuse in teenage relationships (CARPA) created by Calvete, Machinbarrena, González, and Fernandez in 2021, consisting of 21 items distributed in four dimensions - online control, actions, reactions, and self-perception of the relationship. The target population consists of 360 young people, with a sample of 187 individuals, within a limited range of 18 to 25 years old. In the qualitative part, a focus group with 3 participants who were stalking victims was conducted using the interview guide created by Zbairi in 2015, consisting of five questions that covered the dimensions of knowledge, experimental situation, past experiences, victim's perspective, and solution opinions. This exploratory, descriptive, and correlational study employed an analytical-synthetic, hypothetical-deductive, and inductive method. The results reveal the presence of problematic behaviors, showing appropriate use of digital platforms and influence on romantic relationships. The perception of stalking derives from digital violence, referring to a neologism of espionage, for obtaining information and control of movements. Based on the schematization of the narratives, the lack of knowledge about stalking and gender differences in responses highlight the need for a gender-sensitive approach in understanding and addressing digital stalking in university settings.

The present study emphasizes on the experiences and perceptions of risk in university students in times of pandemic, for which students of the careers of Social Work, Law and Social Communication of the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato participated, in this sense the research responds to the practices and perception in relation to the risk produced by the Covid 19.The perception of risk is linked to social practices and experiences in relation to risk conditions through the social interrelationship with the context and experiences. Similarly, risk perception refers to the conditions of uncertainty about a possible event that may generate physical, social, economic and environmental damage, among other effects. In addition, social structures influence the construction of habitus, which allows for the understanding of social reality from the subjectivity of the individual, that is, it establishes the way of thinking, acting and accepting certain realities of the social context .For the execution of the investigation a methodology with a qualitative approach was used, a semi-structured interview was handled compiling the different life stories, in addition a theoretical base was used allowing an adequate analysis and examination of the stories. University students experience their reality linked to the spaces of youth socialization such as: the family, school and work, that is to say, there are conditions of family, academic and economic risk in relation to unfavorable processes due to situations of social vulnerability.
