Estilos de Crianza y Estrategias de Afrontamiento del Estrés como predictores del Bienestar Psicológico de los adolescentes en centros educativos, Choluteca, Honduras

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze parenting styles and stress-coping strategies as predictors of psychological well-being among adolescents in schools in Choluteca, Honduras. The methodology used was quantitative, with a non-experimental, crosssectional design. Three data collection instruments were used: the Steinberg Parenting Styles Scale, the COPE-28 Brief Coping Inventory, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS). The sample consisted of 320 students from four schools in the city ofCholuteca. Based on the results obtained in the present study, a multiple linear regression model was used. Sex, age, grade, school, parenting styles, and coping strategies were considered independent variables. The model was statistically significant, indicating that these variables explain 23.10% of the variance in life satisfaction. When analyzing individual predictors, it was found that greater active coping (β = .47279, p = .035) and a more engaged parenting style (β = .18895, p = .001) predicted higher life satisfaction scores. None of the other independent variables were statistically significant (p > .05). These results are discussed in light of the theory and its potential implications.
