Social abilities are an essential part of human activity since they have a bearing on self-con­fidence, adoption of roles, self-regulation of behavior and academic performance, among other aspects. This study presents the process of construction and validation of a scale of social abilities for pre-school children. The scale was administered to 318 parents of 3 to 5 years old children of low socio-economic status who attend Primary Health Care Centers in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. Considering the evolutionary and contextual charac­teristics relative to the process of acquisition of social abilities, a different protocol for every age group was designed. The result was a scale with confidence and validity characteristics.

Digital technologies have produced new ways of communication among adolescents, which can be both healthy and dysfunctional. The purpose of this study was to identify frequent uses of social networks and coping strategies for aggressive practice. The participants were 243 students in situation of vulnerability from S. M. de Tucumán (Argentina). More than 70% informed healthy uses, 14% recognised themselves as having cyber aggressive behaviour and 23% as being cyber victims. An analysis by Anova and Bonferroni showed that this group indicated the use of nonproductive strategies such as Self-blaming, Wishful Thinking, Not coping, Keeping to self, Worrying and Tension Reduction. Data confirm a higher psychological vulnerability of adolescents who are victims of cyber aggression to face stressful situations.
