MADDIO, Silvina  e  MORELATO, Gabriela. Self - concept and cognitive skills in interpersonal problem solving in Argentinean school children: comparative study. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.2, pp.213-221. ISSN 0034-9690.

The aim of the present study was to explore self-concept and cognitive skills for the solution of interpersonal problems in two groups of school-aged children from Gran Mendoza (Mendoza - Argentina). The groups were formed by children between 8 and 10 years old. The first group (n=37) was integrated by victims of child maltreatment (physical, psychological and by negligence) that assist to the public services for familiar assistance in hospitals. The other group (n=37) was formed by children without this problematic. For the evaluation of the cognitive abilities involved in interpersonal problem solving the variables taken were: emotion identification and alternative generation. Self-concept, emotion identification and the skill to generate alternatives of solution for interpersonal problems were described and compared in both groups. In order to achieve the proposed aim the used instruments were: (EVHACOSPI) (García Perez & Magaz Lago, 1998) and Escala de Autoconcepto infantil (Valdéz Medina, 1994). The results of this work will serve to design intervention strategies to promote the development of interpersonal abilities in children and to design programs with preventive and assistance aims.
