Resumen
Introducción. Diversos estudios han señalado la relación entre las fortalezas del carácter, el bienestar psicológico y el ajuste socioemocional en la adolescencia. Las conductas prosociales, fundamentales en esta etapa, favorecen la integración social y el desarrollo personal. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar en qué medida las fortalezas del carácter predicen la conducta prosocial en adolescentes. Método. Participaron, mediante un muestreo intencional, 297 adolescentes de ambos sexos: 182 mujeres (61,3 %) y 115 varones de las provincias de Entre Ríos y Corrientes, con edades entre 12 y 18 años (M = 13,86; DE = 1,59). Se utilizaron la Escala de Conducta Prosocial para Adolescentes y la versión breve del VIA-Youth para evaluar las fortalezas del carácter (interpersonales, intrapersonales e intelectuales). Se aplicó un análisis de regresión múltiple por bloques. Resultados. Los resultados mostraron que las fortalezas interpersonales explicaron el 31,7 % de la varianza en la conducta prosocial (β = 0,56, p < 0,001). Aunque la incorporación de otras dimensiones incrementó levemente la varianza explicada, estas diferencias no fueron significativas. Conclusiones. Se concluye que fortalezas como la gratitud, el trabajo en equipo, el amor y el perdón influyen positivamente en la conducta prosocial, y que su fomento podría contribuir al bienestar socioemocional de los adolescentes.
Introduction. Several studies have highlighted the relationship between character strengths, psychological well-being, and socio-emotional adjustment during adolescence. Prosocial behaviors, which are essential at this stage, promote social integration and personal development. This study aimed to analyze the extent to which character strengths predict prosocial behavior in adolescents. Method. A total of 297 adolescents from the provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes participated through intentional sampling, including 182 females (61.3%) and 115 males, aged between 12 and 18 years (M=13.86; SD=1.59). The Prosocial Behavior Scale for Adolescents and the short version of the VIA-Youth were used to assess character strengths (interpersonal, intrapersonal, and intellectual). A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted. Results. Results showed that interpersonal strengths explained 31.7% of the variance in prosocial behavior (β=0.56; p<0.001). Although the inclusion of other dimensions slightly increased the explained variance, these changes were not significant. Conclusions. It is concluded that strengths such as gratitude, teamwork, love, and forgiveness positively influence prosocial behavior, and fostering these traits could contribute to the socio-emotional well-being of adolescents.
