GROL, Letícia dos Santos Van  e  ANDRETTA, Ilana. Social skills and sociodemographic variables in school age children: a descriptive study. Temas psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.3, pp. 1129-1138. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2016.3-17.

Childhood is an important period for the acquisition and development of social skills and the deficits in this area are related to inappropriate behaviors, poor school performance and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. This study aims to identify the social skills' children in the school context and measure the relationship with sociodemographic variables. To evaluate social skills was used the Inventory System of Social Skills for Children (Inventário Multimídia de Habilidades Sociais para Crianças - IMHSC-Del Prette) as well as a questionnaire to assess sociodemographic data. Participated in this study 100 children from 07 to 14 years old from elementary school of a city in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul/RS. The results indicate a trajectory of expansion of social skills, as the participants aged 10 years or more have proved more socially skilled than 7 years-old children. Therefore, this study's results highlight the importance of social skills during childhood from the perspective that the presence of these skills may act as a protective factor during child development.
