A sense of belonging in higher education is a key factor in the holistic development of young people, influencing their retention, well-being, and institutional adjustment. Its importance today stems from the need to understand how affective bonds and identification with the university reduce the risk of demotivation and dropout. In Ecuador, strengthening these bonds is fundamental to improving student success indicators in public universities. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of a sense of belonging on the academic performance of university students at the Universidad Técnica de Ambato (UTA). A quantitative approach with descriptive, correlational, and explanatory scope was used. The sample consisted of 128 students from the Basic Education and Psychopedagogy programs in the Faculty of Humanities and Education at UTA, who completed a structured survey to assess the Sense of Belonging Index (SBI) and the Academic Performance Index (API), which are behavioral in nature. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Spearman's rho correlation, and simple linear regression. The results reveal a moderate positive relationship between the two variables (rho = 0.413), and that a sense of belonging explains 21.0% of the variability in academic performance. Variables such as institutional empowerment and environmental safety showed the strongest relationships with student success. As a final contribution, institutional management recommendations are proposed, aimed at strengthening physical security, optimizing the classroom climate, and implementing support programs and early warning systems to prevent academic underachievement.

In the field of civil law, parental authority is established as a fundamental institution of family law that legal doctrine and civil law define as the set of rights and obligations aimed at ensuring the comprehensive development of children and adolescents, thus constituting a shared parental responsibility that is synergistically realized through custody in order to safeguard the child’s material and emotional stability both during cohabitation and following the couple’s separation; this entire legal framework is underpinned by the principle of the Best Interests of the Child, a conventional principle supported by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which requires that any judicial or family decision prioritize the minor’s well-being, recognizing that the preservation of direct and fluid contact with both parents is not merely a prerogative of adults, but a psychobiological necessity indispensable for the development of the child’s identity, for which reason the assignment of custody is strictly contingent upon that benefit; nevertheless, the effectiveness and protective purpose of this legal framework are severely undermined in judicial practice by the emergence of parental alienation, which stands as a relational pathology and a flaw that distorts parent-child duties because, through a systematic campaign of indoctrination and negative psychological influence, one parent manipulates the child’s psyche and implants a hostile ideological current that generates an unjustified rejection of the other parent, which not only disrupts legitimate emotional bonds but also violates the legal system by transforming the custody process into a scenario of serious systemic violation, and its contemporary jurisprudential interpretation requires an interdisciplinary approach that integrates psychological, social, and pedagogical perspectives, strengthening mechanisms for prevention, early detection, and effective redress of the emotional harm caused.

Given the increasing trend of family distancing resulting from changes in family structure and dynamics, there are perceived negative consequences for children as the most vulnerable and affected. Analyzing adolescence as a period of great transformation and identity development, during which high levels of propensity for antisocial, delinquent, and self-harming behaviors are manifested, questions have arisen about how this phenomenon can impact this stage. For this reason, it was extremely relevant to analyze the influence of family distancing on the psychosocial development of adolescents in order to promote the implementation of intervention and support strategies that promote healthy development and, consequently, a proper transition from childhood to adulthood. This study aimed to analyze the influence of family distancing on the psychosocial development of adolescents from the Rioblanco Alto educational unit. The sample consisted of 55 students between 15 and 17 years old from this educational center who come from distant families. The research was based on a mixed approach and two data collection instruments were used: an interview aimed at exploring the psychosocial development of adolescents and a survey to explore the causes of family distancing they experience. The main results reflect that the causes of family distancing in the adolescents are divorce, migration, work, family violence, and substance abuse. There is a predominance of divorce, and the paternal figure is the one that mostly moves away from the home. Emotional development is the most affected due to family distancing. In the adolescents, cognitive development is not affected as they have developed critical and abstract thinking that allows them to make decisions not solely based on emotions. Their creative capacity is developed. It is concluded that the psychosocial development of the adolescents from distant families is determined by the consequences brought about by this social phenomenon. Damage to the emotional sphere affects academic performance, the establishment of healthy and lasting relationships, mental health, and emotional well-being in general
