Abstract

The literature points out relationships between adolescent behavior and educational practices, but few studies specify the type of problem or examine multiple variables simultaneously. The objective was to compare social skills, educational practices and substance use of adolescents with internalizing, externalizing and comorbidity problems with a group of adolescents without problems, in samples separated by sex. The inclusion criteria for the clinical and non-clinical groups was obtained from the YSR, social variables from the SSI-Del-Prette, drugs from the DUSI, and educational practices from the IEP. To compare groups, we used the Mann-Whitney and chi-squared tests. The statistically significant variables were: social skills and educational practices (for boys and girls from the externalizing and comorbidity groups), use of drugs (girls and externalizing); only educational practices (for boys and girls from the internalizing group).

The literature points out relationships between adolescent behavior and educational practices, but few studies specify the type of problem or examine multiple variables simultaneously. The objective was to compare maternal educational practices, social skills, and alcohol and substance use by adolescents by controlling the presence/absence of behavior problems (internalizing – G.I., externalizing – G.E., mixed/comorbidity – G.M.) considering sex. The inclusion criteria for the clinical and non-clinical groups was obtained from the YSR, social variables from the SSI-Del-Prette, drugs from the DUSI, and educational practices from the IEP. To compare groups, we used the Mann-Whitney and chi-squared tests. Results showed that the externalizing and mixed groups presented more risk factors, for boys and girls, including social skills, educational practices and alcohol and substance use. Only educational practices were identified in the internalizing group, for both sexes.
