- Calidad de vida y competencias sociales: un estudio comparativo entre adolescentes nativos e inmigrantes de España y PortugalPublication . Romero-Oliva, Cristina; Nunes, Cristina; Montilla Coronado, Cecilia; Lemos, Ida; Hernando Gomez, Angel; Ayala Nunes, LaraThis research aims to determine the relationship between social skills and quality of life (QoL) in native and immigrant adolescents of Spain and Portugal, in order to understand the importance of these variables in the adolescents' development and adjustment. In order to accomplish this, 1151 adolescents, aged between 12 and 18 years, were assessed through two questionnaires: the KIDSCREEN-52 and the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS). The results indicate that immigrants have a lower QoL index than natives in the dimensions of feelings, relationship with parents, economic resources and social acceptance. Academic performance correlates with the dimensions of QoL and social skills, although there are differences between natives and immigrant adolescents.
