Affective states are persistent emotions sustained and expressed by an individual. Affect is composed of positive and negative factors related to the pleasure or displeasure that the person subject experiences throughout their life, mainly during childhood. The main objective of this research was to describe the affective states in boys and girls of the Ricardo Muñoz Chávez Educational Unit during the 2022-2023 periods. This research was quantitative, non- experimental in design, and with a descriptive scope. We worked with a study sample of 144 children between 10 and 12 years old. We used the instrument “Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale for Children” (PANASN). The results obtained between the variables affective states and the family with which the child lives showed that participants who live with both parents present more positive affectivity. We found that individuals in the sixth year submit more positive affect than those in the seventh year. Likewise, 10- and 11-year-old children maintained more positive affect than 12-year-old children. Regarding the variable sex and affective states, significant differences were evident since men presented a higher percentage of positive affectivity and less negative affectivity than women. It concluded that boys and girls experience a positive affective state.

Male young adult body image dissatisfaction is a sociocultural phenomenon that has gained more attention recently due to the effect of male beauty standards, although it has remained largely unrecognized. The main objective of this study is to identify male young adults studying law at the University of Cuenca who are dissatisfied with their bodies. Determining the parameters of normative body discomfort and evaluating pathological body discomfort in this particular cohort of young male law students are the specific goals. This study uses a cross-sectional, quantitative, non-experimental methodology with a descriptive focus. With about 51 male students taking part, the sample was chosen using non-probabilistic convenience sampling, satisfying the inclusion requirements. The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), which measures the presence of body dissatisfaction, was modified for use in data collection. Additionally, a sociodemographic questionnaire. Following the acquisition of the dataset, Microsoft Excel and SPSS were used for a statistical analysis. The results indicate that young adult males do not exhibit body dissatisfaction. Additionally, individuals do not display abnormal physical discomfort, which helps to explain why their level of discomfort is within what is thought to be typical for the community. In conclusion, while not having any pathological bodily disorders, young adult male law students keep practices to maintain their appearance.

In the development of self-concept, both cognitive, affective and social processes intervene that cement the pillars of the normative changes that occur in the self-perceptions of adolescents, allowing them to develop behaviors, attitudes, achievements, failures, relationships with family and society. The general objective of the work is to describe the self-concept in high school adolescents from the “Dr. Camilo Gallegos Domínguez” and “José Benigno Iglesias Educational Unit of the Biblián canton according to sociodemographic characteristics, in the period 2020-2021. The specific objectives are to identify the predominant dimensions of self-concept and to identify the predominant dimensions of adolescent self-concept according to sociodemographic characteristics. The study has a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, a type of non-experimental design, a descriptive scope and a non-probabilistic sampling. We worked with a sample of 147 students from the three high school levels, applying through digital means in Google Forms the Manual Self-Concept Form AF5, authored by García and Musito (2014) and a sociodemographic file. The results obtained indicate that the participants present a high academic and physical self-concept, while the social, emotional and family dimensions show medium and low results. In relation to the sociodemographic variables, it was found that students who live with their parents and siblings have a high self-concept in the predominant dimensions, in the same way, students whose representatives spend between 31 to 40 hours per week at their job and students single, score with high self-concept in the predominant dimensions.

Psychological parental control as a parenting practice can manifest strategies that harm the adequate social and personal development of adolescents, preventing them from being autonomous, likewise school violence from this type of parental control generates aggressive behaviors of young people towards their peers. According to some research, the association of these conceptual categories shows problems in adaptation in the school environment, as parents become models that trigger behavior problems in adolescents. The objectives of this research were to relate psychological parental control and school violence in adolescents aged 15 to 18 years of the Miguel Moreno High School, identify actors of violence based on sex, age and school level and differentiate the types of psychological control of parents, based on the theoretical approach of Blatt's personality theory. To measure the conceptual categories, the Questionnaire for the Exploration of Bullying (CEBU) was applied in a virtual way, which identifies the actors in the dynamics of school violence and the Scale of Psychological Control oriented to Dependence and Self-criticism (DAPCS- S) that assesses the type of maternal and paternal control. The study was carried out using a quantitative methodology with a non-experimental design, with a correlational scope; a simple random sample of 103 students was used. The results show that there are more women who identify themselves as aggressors, in addition, no differences were found between psychological control oriented to the dependence of the father and mother, but there were differences between the psychological control oriented to the self-criticism of the parents. It is concluded that psychological parental control in its dimensions is associated with the different actors of violence, confirming the hypothesis of the study.

The main purpose of the present investigation is to identify the levels of social skills in two different groups of drug addicts. It was achieved through a descriptive-comparative cut with a quantitative approach. The first group was conformed with those who have been hospitalized for less than three weeks, and the second one by those who were in the last three weeks prior to finishing the rehabilitation program. Another aim in this investigation was to define if there´s any significant differences between said groups. The total sample consisted of 57 male patients who were in 3 different rehabilitation centers in the city of Cuenca and that were between the ages of 18 and 40 years. The Goldstein Social Skills Checklist was used as the instrument to measure the social skills in the sample, resulting in no significant difference between the two groups. However, it was possible to conclude that the patients who were in the second group got better results in the scale.
