Relación entre Riesgo de Deserción Escolar, Satisfacción con la Vida y Dinámica Familiar en Adolescentes del Instituto Gubernamental Polivalente de la Villa de San Francisco

Abstract

The present research focuses on analyzing the relationship between the risk of school dropout, life satisfaction, and family dynamics in adolescents at the Instituto Gubernamental Polivalente de la Villa de San Francisco. With the growing concern over school dropout and its repercussions on young people's well-being, this study aims to identify the factors that influence adolescents' decisions to continue or interrupt their educational trajectory. The methodological approach adopted is quantitative, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The sample consists of 50 adolescents (35 females and 15 males) who were administered various scales and questionnaires to assess school dropout risk, psychological well-being, and family dynamics. Data collection techniques were used to test existing hypotheses and establish relational patterns between the variables. The results reveal a significant correlation between adolescents' psychological well-being and family dynamics, particularly regarding parental demands and expectations. Furthermore, a relationship was found between psychological well-being and the risk of school dropout, suggesting that greater well-being is associated with less concern about academic performance and, consequently, a lower risk of leaving school. Additionally, parental support and a positive family environment were shown to act as protective factors against school dropout.
