Keywords:
conducta prosocial, género, curso académico y Educación Secundaria., prosocial behavior, gender, school year, secondary education.Abstract
Se presentan los resultados de un estudio enmarcado en el paradigma positivista, con un enfoque cuantitativo y empleando el método empírico-analítico. En esta investigación se utilizó un diseño no experimental donde se analizaron las diferencias de género y curso académico que se encuentran en la conducta prosocial en una muestra de 2.022 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria de 12 a16 años. Los adolescentes fueron seleccionados aleatoriamente de 20 escuelas urbanas y rurales en las provincias de Alicante y Murcia, España. La conducta prosocial fue codificada con el Teenage Inventory of Social Skills, que evalúa la conducta prosocial y agresiva de los adolescentes en las relaciones con sus iguales. Consta de 40 ítems agrupados en dos escalas: Conducta Prosocial y Conducta Antisocial. Ofrece dos puntuaciones, una de conducta prosocial y otra de conducta antisocial, las cuales se obtienen sumando los valores asignados por los sujetos a los ítems que componen ambas dimensiones. Puntuaciones altas indican elevada conducta prosocial y agresiva. El 17,35% de estudiantes de Educación Secundaria fueron identificados como prosociales. Los chicos de 2º de Educación Secundaria y las chicas de 4º de Educación Secundaria presentaron la menor y mayor prevalencia puntual de conducta prosocial, respectivamente.
DIFFERENCES IN GENDER AND ACADEMIC PRO SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN STUDENTS OF EDUCATION SECONDARY
We present the results of a study framed within the positivist paradigm, with a quantitative approach and using the empirical-analytic. In this study we used a non experimental design which analyzed gender differences and academic year are in prosocial behavior in a sample of 2,022 high school students of 12-16 years. The adolescents were randomly selected from 20 urban and rural schools in the provinces ofAlicanteandMurcia,Spain. Prosocial behavior was coded with the Teenage Inventory of Social Skills, which assesses prosocial and aggressive adolescents in peer relationships. It consists of 40 items grouped into two scales: Prosocial Behavior and Antisocial Behavior. It provides two scores, one of prosocial behavior and other antisocial behavior, which are obtained by adding the values assigned by subjects to the items in both dimensions. High scores indicate high prosocial and aggressive behavior. The 17.35% of high school students were identified as prosocial. 2 Boys Secondary School and girls from 4 Secondary School had the lowest and higher point prevalence of prosocial behavior, respectively.
