- Abstract
This study was aimed at testing a proposal relating contextual and emotional factors to prosocial and problematic behaviors in adolescence. This proposal is based on ecological contextual models dealing with the influence of multiple factors on the explanation of psychological phenomena. The study was done on a sample of 239 nuclear families with at least one son aged between 12 and 18 years old. The results showed that the main predictor of prosocial behavior is the emotional factor, whereas for the psychological disadjustment behavior it is a proximal factor. It was also found that sympathy mediates both the relation between inductive discipline and the prosocial behavior, and the relation between acceptance and this adjustment behavior in adolescence.
