Item SEXTING Y AUTOESTIMA EN ADOLESCENTES DE LA ZONA RURAL(2025-03-06) Yugsi Oña Jessica Lisbeth; Flores Hernández Verónica Fernanda; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaSexting is defined as the act of sharing images, videos, or messages in an insinuating or sexual manner, through electronic devices via the internet. On the other hand, self-esteem involves viewing oneself in a positive or negative light. This research analyzed sexting and self-esteem in adolescents (N=100) from the rural area of Cotopaxi province. The research model used was quantitative, with a descriptive and correlational design. The instruments used were the Sexting Behavior Scale (SBS) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. (EAR). The results show that there is no conclusive correlation between the variables, suggesting that other factors, such as the sociocultural environment, might have a greater influence on these behaviors and personal perception. The practice of sexting turned out to be limited, and the self-esteem of adolescents was mostly distributed at medium and high levels. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in sexting behaviors between men and women.Item HABILIDADES SOCIALES Y OPTIMISMO EN ESTUDIANTES DE BACHILLERATO(2025-03-06) Sinaluisa Cordova, Mateo Ismael; Rodríguez Pérez, Mayra Lucía; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaSocial skills are a set of learned behaviors that allow us to communicate more assertively and develop constructive interpersonal relationships, while optimism is the tendency to think about the possibility of achieving beneficial results in the future and helps as a motivator to face problems. The objectives of this research were to determine the relationship between social skills and optimism in high school students, to assess the level of social skills, to evaluate the level of optimism and to compare the level of social skills according to gender. A nonexperimental design was used, with a quantitative approach, descriptivecorrelational and cross-sectional scope, the sample was 100 students, the “Goldstein Social Skills Scale” and “Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R)” were applied. The results obtained found that the students have a good level of social skills, in terms of levels of optimism there was a prevalence in the low level, it is also considered that there is a statistically significant difference in the levels of social skills according to sex and finally there is a low positive correlation between social skills and optimism, suggesting that behaviors that improve social interaction will increase the positive outlook of adolescents.Item BIENESTAR PSICOLÓGICO Y AUTOEFICACIA ACADÉMICA EN ADOLESCENTES(2025-03-06) Quisintuña Galarza, Bryan Sebastian; Gaibor González, Ismael Álvaro; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaPsychological well-being implies the development of capabilities and personal growth, while academic self efficacy is defined as the self-belief to achieve success in the academic environment. The objective of the study was to determine if there is a relationship between these variables in 151 adolescents between 13 and 17 years of age, students of a private educational institution in the city of Ambato, Ecuador. The Psychological Well-Being Scale for Young People (BIEPS-J) and the Academic Situations Specific Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale (EAPESA) were used as measurement instruments. The study was cross-sectional and correlational, finding a moderate positive relationship between both variables. In addition, most of the participants presented average levels of psychological well-being and an aboveaverage score in academic self-efficacy. Significant gender differences were also found in self-efficacy, with males having a higher mean than females. Implications of these results are discussed.Item FUNCIONAMIENTO FAMILIAR E INTELIGENCIA EMOCIONAL EN ADOLESCENTES(2025-03-06) Pérez Llamuca, Pedro Steven; García Ramos, Diana Carolina; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaThe aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between family functioning and emotional intelligence in adolescents between 15 and 18 years of age in an educational institution. A non-experimental cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach was used in a sample of 173 students, who were evaluated by means of the FFSIL Family Functioning Test and the Baron Emotional Intelligence Inventory (I-CE). The results showed a moderate positive correlation (Rho = 0.524, p < 0.001) between family functioning and emotional intelligence, with adolescents with a more functional family environment presenting higher levels of emotional intelligence. In addition, statistically significant sex differences were identified, with males presenting higher emotional intelligence scores relative to females. The practical implications of these findings suggest the importance of fostering a healthy family environment to promote emotional wellbeing in adolescents.Item FUNCIONAMIENTO FAMILIAR Y DESCONEXIÓN MORAL EN ADOLESCENTES(2025-03-05) López Cáceres, María José; Lara Salazar, Cristina Mariela; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaThe aim of this study was to determine the relationship between family functioning and moral disengagement in adolescents. The FFSIL questionnaires and the Spanish version of the MDS scale were applied to 123 Ecuadorian adolescents aged 14 to 21 years. This was a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, non-experimental and cross-sectional study. The results showed no significant relationship between the central variables, although a low negative correlation was observed between the advantageous comparison mechanism and the cohesion dimension (Rho (121) = -0,253; p = 0,05). In addition, 56,9% of the participants presented moderate levels of family functioning, with a mean in moral disengagement of 56,1. Finally, no significant differences were found between the results of family functioning and moral disengagement when compared by male and female gender (U (1491) = 0.054, p > 0.05).Item INTELIGENCIA EMOCIONAL Y ADAPTACIÓN SOCIAL EN ADOLESCENTES(2025-03-05) Jácome Carvajal, Joselyn Paola; Rodríguez Pérez, Mayra Lucía; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaAdolescence is a stage of multiple biopsychosocial challenges. Emotional intelligence is considered as the ability to recognize and understand one's own emotions and those of others. Likewise, social adaptation implies the ability to form positive relationships, comply with social norms and expectations. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and social adaptation in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. A quantitative approach with a non-experimental design and correlational scope was used. The Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Inventory: youth version was used to assess emotional intelligence, and the Self-Applied Social Adaptation Scale (SASS) was used to assess social adaptation. The results indicated that in both variables the adequate level predominated: 64.4% in emotional intelligence and 88.1% in social adaptation, there is no statistically significant difference between the mean of males M=78.1 and females M=79.1 (U=1135, p>0.05) and there is no significant correlation between the two variables in this group of adolescents (Rho=0.127, p>0.05). This suggests that the levels of emotional intelligence remain independent in the face of social adaptation, which implies that they are not directly related in this study.Item INTELIGENCIA EMOCIONAL Y DEPENDENCIA A LOS VIDEOJUEGOS EN ADOLESCENTES DEL SECTOR URBANO(2025-03-05) Buitrón Calle Joceline Tatiana; Lara Salazar Cristina Mariela; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaEmotional intelligence is defined as a person's ability to understand his or her emotions and those of others, whereas video game dependence is a non-chemical addiction that derives from potentially addictive behavior. The main objective of this research is to determine the correlation between emotional intelligence and video game dependence in adolescents. This is a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, non-experimental and crosssectional study. To measure the variables, the TMMS-24 scale and the Video Game Dependence Test were applied to 110 Ecuadorian adolescents between 13 and 18 years of age. The results showed no significant correlation between the main variables, although a low negative correlation was observed between video game dependence and feeling attention (Rho(108) =-0.024 p<0.05). In addition, 62.7% of the participants presented low levels of video game dependence. If significant statistical differences were found, between the results of emotional intelligence in relation to gender, since, the mean scores of the male gender is (M=24.6) and female gender is (M=21.4) in clarity of emotions (T(108)=-2.632 p<0.05) while in the dimensions of attention and repair of emotions no statistical difference of the means was found in terms of gender.Item CONDUCTA PROSOCIAL Y REGULACIÓN EMOCIONAL EN ADOLESCENTES(2025-03-05) Villacrés Toalombo, Vanessa Anahi; Cueva Rubio, María Augusta; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología ClínicaProsocial behavior is a fundamental element in the social and emotional development of adolescents and its manifestation can be influenced by emotional regulation. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between prosocial behavior and the dimensions of emotional regulation in adolescents. The total sample consisted of 292 subjects: 56.51% males and 43.49% females between 15 and 18 years of age. The research used a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional approach. For data collection, the Gross Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Caprara Prosociality Scale were applied. The results showed a low positive correlation between prosocial behavior and cognitive reappraisal (Rho (290) = 0.389 p < 0.001) no relationship was found with emotional suppression; a predominance of medium level in prosocial behavior was identified, with 51.7%; Likewise, the medium level stood out in the cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression dimensions with 73.3% and 72.3% respectively; also, a significant difference was found between the means of prosocial behavior scores (U=8658 p<0. 05) in the female (M=59.7) and male (M=57.9) genders. It was evidenced that a greater use of the cognitive restructuring strategy increases the probability of manifestation of prosocial behaviors.Item VALORES DE REFERENCIA DEL SHUTTLE WALKING TEST EN NIÑOS Y ADOLESCENTES ECUATORIANOS(2025-02-26) Muñoz Benitez, Joselyn Michelle; Caiza Lema, Stalin Javier; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de FisioterapiaThe aim of this study was to establish reference values for the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test (ISWT) in Ecuadorian children and adolescents. The study sample included 294 children and adolescents, with an almost equal distribution between genders (50.7% males and 49.3% females), between 8 and 17 years old, from the city of Ambato, Ecuador. Previous equations (Lanza, Vardhan, and Pinho) were used to predict the distance covered in the ISWT, comparing the results obtained with the predicted values. During the ISWT the participants exceeded the distances predicted by the Lanza and Vardhan equations, although the Pinho equation showed a negative difference in prediction. Statistical analysis indicated that gender did not significantly influence the distances predicted by the Vardhan equation, but did influence the Lanza and Pinho equations. In addition, the Vardhan equation was the most accurate, with 98% of participants exceeding the predicted distance, while the Pinho equation presented greater discrepancies, with only 44.9% exceeding. The study highlighted that the reference equations used in other populations do not accurately predict the distance traveled in the ISWT for the Ecuadorian population. It was concluded that it is essential to develop local reference equations for children and adolescents in Ecuador, which will provide an assessment framework adapted to the specific characteristics of this population.Item ESTRATEGIA EDUCATIVA SOBRE EL RIESGO PRECONCEPCIONAL EN POBLACIÓN FEMENINA EN EDAD FÉRTIL. ECUADOR(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Enfermería, 2024-10-03) Ortega Liquinchano, Dayelli Elizabeth; Macías Ferreiro, KarinaThe Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) is affected by various risk factors across its different stages. Preventing these risks during the reproductive process is crucial for achieving good reproductive health development. Methods for preventing reproductive risk must begin before conception. This study aims to contribute to this goal by implementing an educational intervention on preconception risk to increase the level of knowledge and risk perception in fertile-aged women in the Parish of San Andrés, Píllaro Canton. A longitudinal-prospective, descriptive, quasi-experimental, participatory action study (educational intervention) was conducted on preconception risk (PRC) in fertile-aged women. The technique used was a survey, and the instrument was a questionnaire. The study sample showed that in relation to biological risks, extreme ages were the most prevalent, with adolescence being the most incident (15 years old or younger, 37.8%, and women over 45 years old, 35.1%). In terms of sociocultural risks, low educational level was prevalent (56.7%), as well as multiparity (33.7%) and low birth weight (27%). The participants' knowledge improved satisfactorily, indicating the effectiveness of the educational intervention. The most important results are achieved bydefining the types of risk, concepts, and actions to take
