Abstract

The objectives of this work were to identify the relationship between school adjustment, school climate and social support in high school students, compare these variables according to the sex of the participants and recognize the strength of the di-mensions of the school climate and social support in the prediction of school adjustment. The sample consisted of 967 students. The instruments used were the Brief Scale of School Adjustment (BSAS-10), the School Climate Scale (CES) and the Family and Friends Social Support Scale (AFA-R). Significant differences were detected by sex. Low correlations were detected between the study variables. Through a binomial logistic regression analysis, a model was generated that considers the dimensions of the school climate, social support and sex in the prediction of school adjustment, being the support of friends the predictor of greater weight. The relevance of the variables studied to achieve an adequate school adjustment is confirmed and the promotion of actions to increase social support and improve the study environments in school communities are recommended.
