Abstract
ARANA MEDINA, Claudia Marcela; GARCIA PENA, John Jairo; HOYOS ZULUAGA, Elizabeth and CARDENAS NINO, Lucila. Relationship between executive functions and social competence, in minors who disassociate themselves from the armed conflict in Colombia. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.1, e205.

The objective of the present study was to establish the relationship between the profile of executive functioning and social competence that has to do with what is socially correct, in a population of 70 minors who disassociate themselves from the armed conflict in Colombia. The scope of the proposal was descriptive-correlational. The design we used was quasi-experimental, longitudinal in order to collect the data related to the neuropsychological evaluation and the evaluation of social competence. It is quantitative in nature; the variables were evaluated through standardized and valid instruments. We find positive and negative relationships between executive functions and social competence; that is, the alternative hypothesis of the research is accepted, in which we propose the existence of direct relationships between executive functioning and social competence.
Keywords : Executive functioning; social competence; armed conflict; relationship.
