Abstract

El presente artículo es un extracto de un estudio más amplio de tipo ex post facto que tiene el objetivo de analizar las dimensiones psicosociales (personalidad) de violencia asociadas con el comportamiento agresivo juvenil en El Salvador. Para ello, se utilizó un diseño retrospectivo y transaccional, en una muestra probabilística de 3.349 jóvenes (1.708 mujeres y 1.640 hombres), con una media de edad total de 16.47 años (DT = 1.38). Los instrumentos de medición utilizados fueron los siguientes: Escala de historia de violencia juvenil, Escala social y contextual de violencia juvenil, Escala de factores individuales de violencia juvenil, Escala de factores de protección de violencia juvenil y Cuestionario de agresión general. Los resultados revelan que los jóvenes con mayor riesgo de incurrir en conductas violentas son del sexo masculino, los residentes urbanos y los de centros educativos privados. Tanto las dimensiones individuales de personalidad como los factores sociales están relacionados de forma significativa con la conducta violenta de los jóvenes salvadoreños.Entorno, octubre 2016, número 62: 7-18This article introduces an extract of a wider ex post facto document which objective is to analyze the psychosocial dimensions (personality) associated to youth aggressive behavior in El Salvador. In doing so, a transactional, retrospective design was used; a probability sample of 3.349 youths was taken (1.708 were women and 1.640 were men). The total median for their ages was 16.47 years old (SD= 1.38). The instruments used included the following: Historical Risk Factors, Social/Contextual Risk Factors [based on the SAVRY tool proposed by Borum, Bartel and Forth, 2003], Individual Risk Factors, Protective Factors [based on the SAPROF-YV tool, SAPROF 2013-2014], and the aggression Questionnaire, A.Q. (Buss and Perry, 1992). The results showed that it is the male youths living in the cities and attending private schools who are at most risk of engaging in violent behavior. Both, the individual personality dimensions and the social factors are significantly linked to violent behavior in the Salvadorean youth.Entorno, october 2016, issue 62: 7-18
