Dezvoltarea abilităților emoționale și sociale la adolescenții aflați în situații de risc

Abstract

The major changes within the Romanian society and the throbbing rhythm of life have made their mark on the personality of adolescents in formation. The less and less time spent in the family, the departure of parents abroad, the effects of stress at the biological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral level, the rapid and sometimes dramatic changes in the professional sphere, are just a few factors that lead to a common and already accepted reality in Romanian schools: verbal and physical violence, tobacco and alcohol consumption, drug use and trafficking, sexual behavior. Often, the school leaves the socio-emotional education of the students at random, unilaterally over-bidding the school preparation. In recent years, a considerable number of researches have shown the link between socioemotional skills and school success, effectiveness. Learning and encouraging the manifestation of such skills in school helps students to increase their ability to integrate at the cognitive level, at the level of emotions and behaviors, which contributes to the emergence of positive relationships and attitudes in school and in the daily life of students.
