Abstract

Current research has ratified the association between children's aggressive and prosocial behavior and family conditions. However, such a study has not been developed in the Casa de la Mujer in the city of Quito. In view of this gap, the objective of this study is: To detect the association between aggressive and prosocial behavior and family norms of school children who belong to the Casa de la Mujer, a temporary shelter of the Unidad Patronato Municipal San José in the city of Quito, 2022.

A quantitative approach and standardized and validated instruments and structured questionnaires were used. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques, which allowed examining the relationship between variables. The study was prospective and cross-sectional, with a non-probabilistic sample of 20 mothers or caregivers and 20 children.

The results showed that the greater the aggressiveness, the lower the presence of norms, relationships and skills in the children. In turn, the children's personal skills were associated to a greater extent with moderate prosociality, with a level of association above 90%. Likewise, group relationships showed a correlation close to 90% with high prosociality. Family norms have an association close to 85% with low prosociality compared to high or moderate prosociality. In conclusion, the importance of family norms in children's behavior is highlighted, as well as the influence of these variables on prosociality and aggressiveness of children attending school at the Casa de la Mujer.
