La Dinámina Familiar y el Comportamiento Socioafectivo

Abstract

The present research examines the influence of family dynamics on the socioemotional behavior of high school students at the "La Providencia" Educational Unit. Using a correlational quantitative approach, the Family System Assessment Questionnaire (CESF) and Gismero’s Social Skills Scale (EHS) were applied to evaluate family dimensions and students’ socio-emotional skills. The results highlight that cohesion, clear boundaries, and leisure activities within the family environment positively correlate with skills such as self-expression, emotional regulation, and empathy. However, deficiencies were identified in the defense of rights and emotional expression among students from less functional family dynamics, characterized by high anxiety, undefined roles, or limited communication. It is concluded that a functional family dynamic, characterized by adaptability, balanced leadership, and emotional bonding, significantly enhances students’ socioemotional well-being. Based on these findings, it is recommended to implement family strengthening programs, socio-emotional development initiatives in educational settings, and periodic evaluations of these dimensions to promote a comprehensive growth environment.
