“…With the exception of assertiveness, all of the social skills included in the regression model (i.e., self-control, civility, social resourcefulness and affective approach) appeared to explain the psychological well-being of the adolescents, which is consistent with the results of other studies (Sá, 2012;Sarkova et al, 2013). These social skills can contribute to more affectionate, positive and reciprocal parent-child interactions that promote psychological well-being.…”

“…These results are supported by several studies that found a correlation between the identification by the adolescents of social support from family and friends and greater levels of well-being (Casas et al, 2007;Sarriera et al, 2012). Regarding family transitions, social support appraisals from friends may facilitate the emergence of adaptation processes if, for example, the adolescent is experiencing the separation and remarriage of parents (Greeff & Du Toit, 2009).…”

“…Based on a literature review, Anderson and Grenne (2013) and Wagner, Tronco and Armani (2011) argued that the emotional symptoms and challenges of ex-spouses and their children must in fact occur because when families that have and have not experienced marital dissolution are compared the reviewed studies were unable to separate the effect of potential confounding variables that may affect well-being, such as depression, economic difficulties, behavioral problems or learning difficulties. A related factor that can affect the well-being of children is the social skills deficits (Sá, 2012;Sarkova et al, 2013). The literature also describes studies on the influence of marital separation and/or remarriage in parenting practices, which indirectly affects the well-being of the children (Hetherington, 2003;Wallerstein et al, 2013).…”

“…Various studies have found significant positive associations between a sound set of social skills and the well-being of adolescents from different types of family (Sá, 2012;Sarkova et al, 2013). According to Z. Del Prette and A. Del Prette (2010), social skills refers to the diverse set of behaviors of a person that can contribute to social competence, which results in healthy, productive relationships.…”

“…However, few studies have sought to demonstrate the positive relationship between social support and well-being during adolescence (Casas et al, 2007;Sarriera, Abs, Casas, & Bedin, 2012). In the literature, social support is presented as a non-consensual, broad and diverse concept in theoretical and operational terms (Gonçalves et al, 2011).…”

Abstract:There is no consensus in the literature regarding the influence of family configuration on the psychological well-being of adolescents. Based on the perception of adolescents, this study evaluates the influence of family configuration, social skills and social support appraisals as potential predictors of adolescent psychological well-being. The participants were 454 adolescents aged between 13 and 17 years from nuclear, separated and remarried families. The adolescents were students in the first and second years of public high school. The data were collectively obtained in the classroom using the Social Skills Inventory for Adolescents, the Social Support Appraisal Scale and the Psychological Well-being Scale. The results indicated that family configuration is not associated with the psychological well-being of adolescents. The social skills of empathy, self-control, civility, social resourcefulness and affective approach as well as the social support appraisals from friends and family were the best predictors of adolescent psychological well-being. The implications of the results are discussed with respect to future research and interventions.Keywords: social skills, social perception, subjective well-being, adolescence Habilidades Sociais, Apoio Social e Bem-Estar de Adolescentes de Diferentes Configurações FamiliaresResumo: Não existe consenso na literatura quanto às influências da configuração familiar no bem-estar psicológico de adolescentes. A partir da percepção de adolescentes, este estudo avaliou a influência da configuração familiar, habilidades sociais e percepção de apoio social como possíveis variáveis preditoras do seu bem-estar psicológico. Participaram 454 adolescentes, na faixa etária entre 13 e 17 anos, de famílias nucleares, monoparentais e recasadas que frequentavam o Ensino Médio. Os participantes responderam coletivamente, em sala de aula, ao Inventário de Habilidades Sociais para Adolescentes, à Escala de Percepção de Apoio Social e à Escala de Bem-estar Psicológico. Os resultados indicaram que a configuração familiar não está associada ao bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes. As habilidades sociais de empatia, autocontrole, civilidade, desenvoltura social e abordagem afetiva e a percepção de apoio dos amigos e da família foram os melhores preditores do bemestar psicológico dos adolescentes. Discute-se as implicações dos resultados para novas pesquisas e intervenções.Palavras-chave: habilidades sociais, percepção social, bem-estar subjetivo, adolescência Habilidades Sociales, Apoyo Social y Bienestar de Adolescentes de Diferentes Configuraciones FamiliaresResumen: No hay consenso en la literatura sobre la influencia de la configuración familiar en el bienestar psicológico de los adolescentes.
