Résumé

Introduction: Nowadays, it has been shown that social well-being represents a psychosocial factor of great relevance for the academic context in several educational levels. The objective of this study was to analyze the perceived social well-being of adolescents and other sociodemographic factors, such as gender or the academic level of fathers and mothers. A non-experimental descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out by means of a single measurement in a single group. The sample was represented by 128 adolescent students (12 to 18 years old) from a public high school from Córdoba. As main instrument, the social well-being scale developed by Blanco y Díaz (2005) was applied, obtaining an acceptable reliability of α = 0.822, and using the IBM SPSS software for data analysis. The results indicated adequate levels of social well-being in a global way, with gender being somewhat masculine rather than feminine. Likewise, the masculine gender was associated with higher levels of social updating, as well as higher levels of contribution and social coherence according to the studies of the fathers and mothers respectively. All this reveals the consideration of these sociodemographic factors when intervening and working on social well-being in young adolescents.
