(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Soriano Ayala, Encarnación; González Jiménez, Antonio José
Part of adolescence develops during secondary education years, which is an ideal time to work on emotional relation by means of various emotional competences. This study was carried out on Spanish and immigrant adolescents, and aims to identify emotional competences adolescents use to solve conflicts that may arise in their affective-sexual relations, so that guidelines for educational intervention in multicultural schools may be suggested. The approach undertaken was focused ethnography. The sample comprised 80 adolescents of eight nationalities. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. A set of categories was identified for the analysis of data. Two key findings were: 1) culture influences affective-sexual relations and the construction of emotional competences, and 2) the fact that classrooms are multicultural is positive because it facilitates educational intervention in emotional competences in the affective-sexual field.
