Impulsividad, habilidades sociales y su relación con factores sociodemográficos en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

The current project was carried out to determine the relationship between impulsivity and social skills with socio-demographic factors in university students. In the case of impulsivity, the “Escala de Control de los Impulsos de Ramón y Cajal” is used, and for social skills, the “Escala de Habilidades Sociales (EHS)” is used in a population of 844 university students. The applied methodology was based on a quantitative approach, since the information extracted through the scales was compared using Spearman's rho, to obtain the corresponding correlation. It was found that the factors proposed in the scale, impulsivity, immediacy, and risk are related to social skills with the exception of the imposition factor. In addition, impulsivity is related to the university, practice a religion, a history of mental illness, and the frequency of alcohol consumption, while social skills are related to university, socioeconomic level, number of children, and frequency of consumption
