Resumen El desarrollo de habilidades sociales en niños y adolescentes es crucial durante la etapa escolar, ya que influye directamente en la calidad de sus interacciones sociales. Por ello, resulta importante evaluar dimensiones clave como la empatía, la asertividad, la escucha activa y la resiliencia. El presente estudio, con un diseño cuantitativo descriptivo-transversal, evaluó estas habilidades en 350 estudiantes de primer año de bachillerato. Para ello, se utilizaron cuatro instrumentos validados y adaptados al contexto ecuatoriano, aplicados a través de un cuestionario con escala de Likert. El análisis de los datos, realizado con estadística descriptiva y Alfa de Cronbach, reveló una alta confiabilidad. Los resultados evidenciaron que un 20% de los estudiantes presenta dificultades frecuentes para mantener la atención y procesar la información en conversaciones, un 15% muestra problemas para interpretar las emociones ajenas, un 20% manifiesta inseguridad al expresar opiniones y defender derechos en situaciones sociales, y un 15% enfrenta dificultades significativas para manejar el estrés y la frustración.
Abstract The development of social skills in children and adolescents is crucial during the school stage, since it directly influences the quality of their social interactions. Therefore, it is important to evaluate key dimensions such as empathy, assertiveness, active listening and resilience. The present study, with a quantitative descriptive-cross-sectional design, evaluated these skills in 350 first-year high school students. To do so, four validated instruments adapted to the Ecuadorian context were used, applied through a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The data analysis, carried out with descriptive statistics and Cronbach's Alpha, revealed high reliability. The results showed that 20% of the students frequently have difficulties maintaining attention and processing information in conversations, 15% show problems interpreting other people's emotions, 20% show insecurity when expressing opinions and defending rights in social situations, and 15% face significant difficulties managing stress and frustration.
