Factores socioemocionales como predictores de la satisfacción con la vida de adolescentes mexicanos en contextos de vulnerabilidad

Socio-emotional factors have demonstrated their impact on life satisfaction; however, teens from vulnerable socio-economic contexts and their perception of life satisfaction have been an understudied population group. The objective of this study was to analyze the predictive level of parenting practices, school climate, self-regulation, emotional autonomy and academic resilience on the life satisfaction of teens from vulnerable high schools in the State of Sonora, Mexico. Measurement scales validated in the Mexican teen context were used. The multiple linear regression analysis showed an r2 of .605, including eight factors in the model: parental emotional support, relationship between students, self-esteem, relationship with teachers, parental communication, academic adaptation, school conditions and emotional regulation, with support being parental emotional (b = .400) the factor that obtained a higher predictive level on satisfaction with life. These findings provide a guideline for the different academic and political scenarios, in terms of strategies to implement in Mexican education and the different factors that promote the happiness of Mexican teens.
