Consumo de alcohol y su relación con la agresividad en adolescentes

Abstract

This project was carried out to identify the relationship between alcohol consumption and aggressiveness in adolescents in the city of Ambato; The Alcohol use Disorders Identification test (AUDIT) was used to measure levels of alcohol consumption, and the Buss and Perry AQ Aggression Questionnaire was used to measure levels of aggressiveness, in a population of 280 adolescents. The modality that was studied is based on the non-experimental and field approach, since the variables proposed in the research were not manipulated, in turn with a descriptive correlational level because it seeks to relate alcohol consumption and aggressiveness in adolescents. On the other hand, the Jamovi 2.3.18 tool was used in order to analyze the data, determining that alcohol consumption in adolescents has a slight positive relationship with aggressiveness, that is, the greater the consumption, the greater the aggressiveness.
