Contenido principal del artículo
El estrés adolescente en el contexto familiar constituye una preocupación creciente por su impacto en la salud mental durante esta etapa del desarrollo. El objetivo del estudio fue comparar los niveles de estrés en la dimensión vida en el hogar según el estilo de socialización parental percibido, con distinción entre la figura materna y paterna, en adolescentes de 15 a 17 años de una institución educativa privada de Loja, Ecuador. El estudio adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo-comparativo, no experimental y transversal, con 97 adolescentes (66.0 % mujeres), quienes respondieron el Cuestionario de Estrés para Adolescentes (ASQ-56) y la Escala de Estilos de Socialización Parental en la Adolescencia (ESPA29). El estilo democrático predominó en la madre y el indulgente registró las medias más altas de estrés en ambas figuras. El análisis estadístico no evidenció diferencias significativas. Se concluye que el modelo tipológico de cuatro estilos parentales carece de poder discriminativo suficiente para explicar el estrés familiar percibido. Este hallazgo sugiere explorar dimensiones más concretas de la parentalidad que ofrezcan mayor capacidad explicativa sobre el estrés adolescente en el contexto ecuatoriano.
Adolescent stress within the family context is a growing concern due to its impact on mental health during this developmental stage. The objective of this study was to compare stress levels in the home life dimension according to perceived parental socialization styles, distinguishing between maternal and paternal figures, in adolescents aged 15 to 17 from a private educational institution in Loja, Ecuador. The study adopted a quantitative, descriptive-comparative, non-experimental, and cross-sectional approach, with 97 adolescents (66.0% female) who completed the Adolescent Stress Questionnaire (ASQ-56) and the Parental Socialization Style Scale in Adolescence (ESPA29). The authoritative style predominated for mothers, while the indulgent style recorded the highest stress means for both figures. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences. It is concluded that the four-style typological model lacks sufficient discriminatory power to explain perceived family stress. This finding suggests exploring more specific parenting dimensions that offer greater explanatory power regarding adolescent stress within the Ecuadorian context.
