SERRANO PEREIRA, Mario Gerardo; CASTILLO LEON, María Teresita y HERNANDEZ PAYAN, Emelia. Psychosocial Variables that Predict Social Responsibility among University Students. RMIE [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.93, pp.455-481. Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 1405-6666.
The objective of this project is to identify psychosocial variables that predict social responsibility among university students. A random selection was made of 500 students at a public university in southeastern Mexico, to complete questionnaires measuring social responsibility, self-concept, empathy, locus of control, coping with problems, and positive mental health. Correlations are reported between the variables and multiple regression analysis to predict social responsibility as well as each one of its dimensions (social participation, social management of knowledge, responsible management, and professional training). Self-satisfaction (a factor of positive mental health), personal discomfort (a factor of empathy), revaluing/direct confrontation, and self-concept (a constructive and affiliative social instrument) were found to predict social responsibility. The results generate alternatives for promoting social responsibility among students.
