Resumen

En este estudio se analizan las relaciones entre las características del sistema familiar (funcionamiento, comunicación y satisfacción familiar), el apoyo social percibido y la conducta delictiva en la adolescencia. La muestra está constituida por 431 adolescentes estudiantes en centros educativos de la Comunidad Valenciana de edades comprendidas entre los 15 y los 17 años. Los resultados muestran efectos directos de los problemas de comunicación con la madre y del apoyo social percibido del padre en la conducta delictiva. Además, se constata un efecto mediador del apoyo social del padre entre los problemas de comunicación con la madre y la implicación del hUo adolescente en actos delictivos. Finalmente se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados.
