To identify positive qualities and mental health problems in adolescents that are clients of a mental health specialized service.
The sample consisted of 145 patients of both sexes. The Mexican validated official international Hispanic version of the Youth Self Report/11-18 (YSR/11-18) was used; it measures psychopathology and individual characteristics associated with positive adaptation, called Positive Qualities.
The positive quality most commonly reported was related to the positive social behavior, without mean differences between girls and boys. Girls showed the highest level of internalizing and externalizing problems.
Adolescents with psychopathology in clinical settings also show positive qualities. It is important to identify and enhance these characteristics as protective factors in adolescents living in high-risk contexts. Girls showed higher psychopathology levels, implying gender differences in preventive intervention.
识别心理健康专科服务的青少年客户的积极品质和心理健康问题。
样本包括145名男女患者。使用了墨西哥验证的官方国际西班牙语版青少年自我报告/11 - 18（YSR/11 - 18）；它测量心理病理学以及与积极适应相关的个体特征，即积极品质。
最常报告的积极品质与积极的社会行为有关，女孩和男孩之间没有均值差异。女孩表现出最高水平的内化和外化问题。
临床环境中患有心理病理学的青少年也表现出积极品质。识别并增强这些特征作为生活在高风险环境中的青少年的保护因素很重要。女孩表现出更高的心理病理学水平，这意味着在预防干预中存在性别差异。
