Abstract

The study investigated the parental socialization style and social skills in 8th grade students of the Lev Vygotsky Educational Unit, its objective is to analyze the relationship that exists between the parental socialization style and social skills, the research is exploratory, with a quantitative approach. The instruments used were the ESPA 29 Parental Socialization in Adolescence Scale and Goldstein's Social Skills Checklist. Regarding the parental socialization style, it was found that 26.5% of the participants exhibited an authoritative style, 29. 4% had a permissive style, 24.5% showed an authoritarian style and 19.6% presented a negligent style. On the other hand, in relation to social skills, it was observed that 11.8% of the participants obtained a low level of social skills, 47.1% demonstrated a medium level and 41.2% presented a high level. However, when analyzing the correlation between parental socialization style and social skills, a weak negative correlation was found, with a correlation coefficient of -0.152. Although this relationship suggests a possible influence of parental socialization style on adolescents' social skills, the results were not statistically significant. These findings highlight the importance of future research that further examines the relationship between parental socialization style and social skill development in adolescence. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider that these results are based on a specific sample, therefore, they cannot be generalized. Among the results, the need to promote appropriate parenting styles stands out to promote healthy development of social skills in the adolescents studied.
