| Sumario: | The aim of this paper was to study the dysfunction of social skills in adolescents 11 and 12 years from a low socioeconomic level in Tucuman (Argentina). The instruments used in this research were the Antisocial Behavior Questionnaire (CC-A in Spanish) by Martorell and González Barrón (1992), and a sociodemographic survey. Aggressiveness, isolation and shyness (factors assessed by the Antisocial Behavior Questionnaire), and their eventual gender differences were assessed. The sample included 106 Primary School students (55% female and 45% male) and a descriptive and exploratory methodology was used. Although the majority of the participants did not present antisocial behavior, 11% of the subjects showed aggressive behavior, 11% presented isolated behavior, and a 19% scored for shy behavior. Finally, different hypotheses on the relationship between the observed results and the socioeconomic context were explored. |
