Socio-emotional skills in high school adolescents after the pandemic

Abstract

The acquisition and appropriation of Skills occurs as a result of physical social interaction, something that occurred until 2019, prior to the pandemic; What was collected in this doctoral research from 2021 to 2022 was valuable and exceptional information from adolescents in confinement.

A descriptive study with differentiation by gender was carried out in a simple random representative sample of 374 high school students at the Saltillo Unit of the Autonomous University of Coahuila, which allowed knowing the capital they have, their perception of emotions and atypical reality, feelings and vision.

With the results, it is reaffirmed that it is first in the family environment, and then in social physical interaction, where the skills-capitals-necessary for competence in all stages of life are acquired, developed and reinforced. However, during the period of confinement, socialization, communication and exchange in the selected sample, and in general of the entire population, was considerably reduced, so both thinking and social skills were negatively affected, which that does not allow to increase or internalize the wealth of meanings; but others for survival and adaptation were developed to continue with the few virtual or recreational activities.
