- Abstract
The objective of the study was to propose a predictive model about purpose of life in adolescents of public educational institutions from Arequipa City (Peru). We evaluated 872 students of the fourth and fifth of secondary education, of both sexes, from 14 to 18 years of age, of five public educational institutions according to the criteria of Westland (2010) for the structural equations. The instruments used were the Purpose of Life (PIL), Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS), the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The type of research is basic, non-experimental relational predictive explanatory level. To confirm the theoretical model was applied structural equation modeling (SEM) and to predict in probabilistic terms the meaning of life in adolescents according to the observed variables we used the multikappa perceptron (neural networks). In the results it was possible to predict the pattern of the purpose of life in adolescents, and provided the relative importance of the different predictors through the multikappa perceptron. The most important predictors are the satisfaction with life, the coping style led to the resolution of problems, the coping style directed to the relationship with others and lack of motivation.
