Abstract
El objetivo principal de esta investigación es examinar el papel
mediador de la percepción de las experiencias escolares en la relación entre
la competencia interpersonal y la felicidad en los adolescentes. Los partici-
pantes en el estudio eran un total de 268 estudiantes, 104 mujeres (39%) y
164 hombres (61%), que asistían a varios centros de secundaria en una ciu-
dad en la región del Mar Negro medio. Las edades de los estudiantes parti-
cipantes oscilaron entre 14 y 18 años, con una edad promedio de 16.22
(SD = 1.2). Para recopilar datos, se utilizaron como medidas la "Escala de
competencia interpersonal", la "Escala de experiencia escolar percibida" y
la "Escala de felicidad de Oxford". De acuerdo con los resultados de la in-
vestigación, la competencia interpersonal predice las percepciones de la
experiencia escolar y la felicidad, la percepción de la experiencia escolar
predice la felicidad. El análisis mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructura-
les reveló que la percepción de la experiencia escolar tiene un papel media-
dor parcial en la relación entre la competencia interpersonal y la felicidad
en los adolescentes. Los resultados de la investigación se discuten en el
contexto de la literatura relacionada y se proporcionan algunas sugerencias
para los investigadores y profesionales en el campo de la salud mental.

The participants in the study consisted of a total of 268 students, 104 females (39%) and 164 males (61%), attending various high schools in a city in the mid-Black Sea region. The participating students’ ages ranged between 14 and 18, with an average age of 16.22 (SD=1.2). In order to gather data the “Interpersonal Competence Scale”, “Perceived School Experience Scale ” and “Oxford Happiness Scale” were used as measures. According to the results of the research, interpersonal competence predicts perceptions of school experi- ence and happiness, perception of school experience predicts happiness. Analysis by structural equation modeling revealed that the perception of school experience has a partial mediating role in relationship between in- terpersonal competence and happiness in adolescents. The research find- ings are discussed within the context of the related literature and some suggestions are provided for researchers and practitioners in the field of mental health.
