Percepción del apoyo social y función familiar en adolescentes con y sin aptitudes sobresalientes

In this study, 707 students participated (459 without outstanding skills and 248 with outstanding skills) from two High Schools in the State of Colima, Mexico. The research is quantitative and the objective was to analyze the similarities and/or differences in the perception of social support and family function of students for secondary education with and without outstanding skills. Two instruments were applied, APGAR and DUKE-UNC-11, they show the perception about social support and family function. The results indicate that students with and without outstanding skills perceive, for the most part; nomofuntional families and very few with family dysfunction. However, some differences in functional social support and poor support are identified due to the characteristics of the study population.
