| Summary: | The present work focuses on the study of the influence of the support social network for minors in deprotection situation, because the importance that achieves the person-society relationship is irrefutable. The study deals with the Ecological Systems Theory by Bronffernbrenner, which emphasizes the importance of the influence that some agents have over the others within the support social network of the minors. Socialization is an everlasting process by which a biological being transforms into a social being belonging to a given society. If the main social agents (family, school, peer groups, media and new technologies, professionals of the social fields of the minors, etc.) do not adequately fulfill their functions, the biopsychosocial development of the institutionalized minors is at risk, having negative consequences in the rest of the agents also. Thus, it was considered and checked if the support social network is damaged in minors with protective measures. An analytical empirical research based on the positivist paradigm was performed belongs to a non-experimental methodology. The sample consisted of 104 subjects, minors with measures of protection (residents in centers) and without protection measures (residents in their family home). The measurement instrument used was the adaptation of the Functional Social Support Questionnaire by Duke-UNK and data processing was performed by using the SPSS statistical package. It was observed that minors living in a normalized family nucleus shown significantly higher scores on perceived social support than minors living in centers. Due to the dynamic nature of the socialization process, the necessity of intervene in this respect is undeniable in order to improve the biopsychosocial development of minors in lack of protection situation. |
