Abstract
ARHUIS-INCA, Wendy and IPANAQUE-ZAPATA, Miguel. The relationship between social skills, psychological Well-Being, and academic performance in university Students in Chimbote, Peru. Educare [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.2, pp.20-33. Epub Feb 15, 2023. ISSN 1409-4258. http://dx.doi.org/10.15359/ree.27-2.15848.
Objective.
To identify how social skills, psychological well-being, and academic performance are related in a private university in Chimbote, Peru.
Methodology
. A correlational-transversal study was conducted on 313 students from the Professional School of Education. The study implemented inventory instruments of social situations (ISS) and Ryff’s psychological well-being scales. In addition, students’ average note for the 2018-II semester was obtained.
Results.
The results reported that the higher the social skills and the greater the psychological well-being, the higher the academic performance (R = 0.60 and 0.71, p <0.05). Likewise, the higher the social skills, the greater the psychological well-being (R = 0.52, p <0.05). As well, the level of social skills and psychological well-being presented a low level (33.54% and 34.18%, respectively), while academic performance was at a medium level (42.49%).
Conclusion.
University students presented a deficit at the levels of study variables; at the same time, a positive relationship does exist between them.
