Abstract
DOCAL MILLAN, MARÍA DEL CARMEN et al. Explanation of the psychological well-being of Colombian adolescents based on interparental conflict and parental competencies. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2025, vol.42, n.1, pp.37-56. Epub Feb 11, 2025. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.42.1.325.567.
Psychological well-being is understood as a relevant condition in the development of adolescents, who experience changes that impact the consolidation of their personality and social adaptation.
Objective:
To explain the psychological well-being of adolescent children based on interparental conflicts and the parental competencies of united and separated parents.
Methodology:
Study quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and explanatory with 473 Colombian adolescents, with sampling non-probabilistic for convenience, instruments with adequate internal consistency were used.
Results:
The variables that weighed the most psychological well-being explanation were parental involvement and self-blame. Men had greater psychological well-being compared to women. Psychological well-being was higher in children of separated parents compared to children of united parents. A significant interaction effect was obtained between the sex of the adolescent and the type of parents in self-blame. Daughters of separated fathers perceive greater self-blame in the conflict, followed by boys with united fathers. The results suggest continuing to study the psychological well-being of adolescents to rethink new ways of accompanying parents (united or separated) from the school context within the framework of educational policies.
Keywords : Psychological well-being; interparental conflict; parental competencies; parent-child relationship; adolescents.
