Abstract (Resumen en inglés)
This research has the objective to examine the relationship between executive functions, family functionality and behavioral mismatch with social cognition in students from 7th to 10th grade in a situation of bullying. It was carried out under the empirical-analytical paradigm, which is carried out through an ex post facto type design with a retrospective concurrence of a single measure, of transverse measurement. The sample consisted of 101 students aged between 11 and 17 years old. The techniques and instruments were a semi-structured interview for parents, a complete neuropsychological evaluation protocol to evaluate executive functions and the elements of social cognition (Theory of Mind and Social Perception), Family APGAR to evaluate the functional status of the family, Multimodal Scale of Behavior to evaluate clinical and adaptive indicators of behavior and personality that are considered anomalous and the “Ombudsman” bullying scale. In the results obtained, it was found that the statistically significant correlations between the Executive Functions (information processing speed, inhibitory control and working memory p < 0.05) and inversely proportional to the Misconduct of the Behavior (Attitude towards the Teachers) are found associated with the Theory of Mind (Social Cognition). Family functionality perceived by parents and social cognition variables are not correlated. Therefore, it is concluded that the executive functions and behavior mismatches are associated with the Theory of Mind (Ability to empathize and make inferences of basic and complex mental states), however, for the family functionality variable were not found any correlation.
