Resumen

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la implicación comunitaria, la percepción del clima familiar y escolar, y la problemática emocional y social en adolescentes. Las variables relacionadas con la problemática emocional y social fueron la satisfacción vital, la reputación social no conformista y la violencia escolar. La muestra se compuso de 1884 (52% chicos y 48% chicas) adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 17 años (M = 13.7, SD = 1.4) pertenecientes a la Comunidad Valenciana y Andalucía. Para el análisis de los datos se calculó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados indicaron que la implicación comunitaria de los adolescentes se relaciona con la percepción positiva del clima familiar y escolar, y con la violencia escolar. Las asociaciones entre las variables incluidas en el modelo estructural también se analizaron en función del género. La relación entre el clima escolar y la reputación social resultó ser significativa sólo para los chicos. Del mismo modo, la asociación entre la implicación comunitaria y la conducta violenta escolar mostró ser significativa únicamente para los chicos. Finalmente, se discuten los resultados obtenidos y sus posibles implicaciones.
