Item type:Publication, The subjective well-being in Peruvian adolescence: Identifying domains and evaluations in a non-WEIRD context(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024-06-01)The present qualitative study examined how a group of Peruvian adolescents (N = 32) from different cultural contexts conceive their well-being. The goal was to identify the domains that structure their conception of well-being and how they evaluate it based on their elaboration. For this objective, 32 in-depth interviews were carried out with adolescents from different cultural contexts in Perú. Elements such as region, academic performance, and gender were considered to identify specificities during the analysis. Interviews were analyzed using a thematic analysis strategy. As a result, six domains of adolescent well-being emerged where well-being is associated with socioeconomic factors, family and peer relationships, future aspirations, social skills and self-esteem, academic performance, and health care. Participants' evaluations of well-being were mainly grounded in the socioeconomic, family, and educational domains. Findings highlight the need to further develop psychology research on adolescence in non-WEIRD societies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, “I will attend to college to give my family a better life”: Indebtedness with the family and the challenges of building occupational plans for Peruvian adolescents(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024-06-01)Identifying a future occupation is an important achievement during adolescence, a process particularly complex for Peruvian adolescents. Perú is a postcolonial country with many forms of inequality, and one of them is the opportunity gap to attend a college. However, most adolescents aspire to go to university as a way out of poverty, and, since Perú is a collectivist society, this is a family task: it is adolescents' responsibility to go to college in order to give a better life to their families. Theories developed for WEIRD societies (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) do not provide an accurate explanation of Peruvian adolescents' occupational projects because they envision a person with autonomy and resources to choose a career. Thus, our goal is to analyze adolescents' occupational plans considering the role adolescent–caregivers relationships play in this configuration. This study is part of the project “Being an adolescent in Perú” (PUCP-UNICEF) which characterized Peruvian adolescence by studying 14 variables through a qualitative study with 66 participants. In depth interviews were conducted and the data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results of the thematic analysis are organized in three topics that explain the relationship between occupational plans and adolescent–caregiver relationship (1) adolescents have occupational aspirations rather than achievable projects that are that are built alone, without adult support; (2) attending college as an occupational aspiration belongs to the family, not to the individual operating also a kind of “debt” to pay to their caregivers for being financially supported to be able to study in high school; and (3) caregivers do not have the possibility or resources of being able to accompany their adolescent's occupational plans. We conclude that Peruvian adolescents think about their future within the framework of their family's needs, rather than linked to personal and occupational goals, impeding adolescents from exploring and selecting a realistic occupational goal consistent with their interests. The results allow us to discuss the relevance of studying adolescent development taking into account the particularities of the adolescents' cultural and socioeconomic contexts as well as the core role that relationship with caregivers plays in this process in Perú. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Adolescents' relationships with family and friends: A social connectedness approach to the Peruvian experience during the COVID-19 pandemic(SAGE Publishing, 2025-12-01)Connections with caregivers and friends undergo significant changes during adolescence, which are crucial for the formation of psychosocial identity and overall well-being. This study examines the importance of social connectedness among Peruvian adolescents, emphasizing the need to consider both the quantity and quality of these relationships. Social connectedness was explored among 32 adolescents, between 15 and 17 years of age, who were participants in the project “Being an adolescent in Peru”. This was done through in-depth interviews, taking into account factors such as region, academic performance and gender. The results were presented in two themes: expectations and evaluations of relationships in adolescents. This for each of the domains: family and friends. Moreover, while adolescents value their relationships with caregivers, the COVID-19 pandemic increased physical proximity but diminished the quality of these bonds. With respect to peer relationships, the pandemic limited interactions to a virtual, superficial, and infrequent level. The return to in-person interactions was positively perceived, particularly in relation to friends relationships, emphasizing the importance of interaction quality. These findings highlight the complexity of relationships in times of crisis and underscore the need to differentiate between the quantity and quality of interactions to promote healthy development and well-being.3
