Abstract

In the transition into adulthood, family and school play a critical role protecting the adolescent from engaging in behaviors that could cause mental health problems. Nevertheless, there are other social groups and structured activities that have shown to act as an educational activity and as a protective factor as well. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between belonging to different types of social groups and the positive and negative mental health indicators of Mexican adolescents. Participants were 840 Mexican adolescents ranging between 12 and 17 years old. Results indicated that belonging to artistic and scout groups reported a statistically significant correlation with higher levels of emotional intelligence. Belonging to sport and artistic groups reported a statistically significant correlation with higher levels of resilience. No statistically significant results were found on anxiety, depression, and/or disruptive behaviors. Further research is needed, especially investigating possible predictive and moderating variables.

课外活动和群体归属是青少年的保护因素

在向成年过渡的过程中，家庭和学校扮演着至关重要的角色，保护青少年不参与可能导致心理健康问题的行为。然而，也有其他社会团体和有组织的活动显示出作为教育活动和保护因素的作用。本研究旨在探讨墨西哥青少年所属不同社会群体类型与积极和消极心理健康指标之间的关系。参与者是840名12至17岁的墨西哥青少年。结果表明，隶属于艺术和童子军团体的人与较高的情商水平有统计学上的显著相关性。据统计，参加体育和艺术活动的人的复原力水平更高。在焦虑、抑郁和/或破坏性行为方面没有发现统计学上显著的结果。需要进一步的研究，特别是调查可能的预测和调节变量。
