Disfuncionalidad familiar y autoestima en el rendimiento académico: Un análisis predictivo multidimensional

Abstract

La relación entre entorno familiar y características psicológicas de los estudiantes ha sido ampliamente reconocida como un factor determinante en el rendimiento académico. Al respecto, la disfuncionalidad familiar, manifestada como falta de cohesión y flexibilidad, y la autoestima, en sus dimensiones generales y específicas, constituyen variables clave para entender el desempeño educativo en contextos universitarios. Este estudio analiza la disfuncionalidad familiar y la autoestima como predictores del rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios del cantón Milagro-Ecuador. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño no experimental transversal y nivel descriptivo-correlacional. La muestra estuvo conformada por 205 estudiantes de la carrera de Psicología de una institución pública, seleccionados mediante un muestreo probabilístico estratificado. Los resultados evidenciaron que la autoestima general y sus componentes específicos, conductual y afectivo, son predictores significativos del rendimiento académico, explicando más del 90% de su variabilidad. Asimismo, la disfuncionalidad familiar tuvo una influencia relevante, destacándose las dimensiones de cohesión y flexibilidad. Se concluye que tanto la autoestima como la disfuncionalidad familiar son predictores significativos del rendimiento académico. Esto subraya la necesidad de desarrollar intervenciones educativas y familiares que fortalezcan la autoestima y promuevan un entorno familiar funcional para mejorar el desempeño académico de los estudiantes.
