La relación familiar y la conducta impulsiva de los estudiantes de BGU de una Institución Educativa Particular, del sur de Quito, en el año 2024 – 2025.

Abstract

This research analyses the influence of family relationships on the impulsive behaviour of students of Bachillerato General Unificado (BGU) in an educational institution in the south of Quito during the period 2024-2025. Impulsivity is a trait that affects decisionmaking and emotional regulation, with significant impacts on the academic, social and family environment. Using a quantitative approach, the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS11) and the Intrafamilial Relations Assessment (ERI) were applied to a sample of 55 students aged 15-17. The results reveal that 78.2% of the students have medium-level family relationships, while only 1.8% report high level family relationships. In terms of impulsivity, 50.9% of the students were at a low level, while 49.1% showed high impulsivity. Cognitive impulsivity was also identified as the most prevalent, with 87.3% of students showing difficulties in concentrating and making reflective decisions. Motor impulsivity was present in 94.5% of cases, showing impulsive responses to stimuli without prior reflection. Unplanned impulsivity showed that 85.5% of the students had difficulties in anticipating consequences.
