Migration in Chile has increased exponentially in recent years, with education being one of the main focuses of attention in this cultural transformation. Integration and social competence in the migrant population are determined by several factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential effects of resilience and acculturation stress on the levels of integration and social competence in migrant students in Northern Chile. In total, 292 school children of both genders aged 8 to 18, from the fourth grade to senior year of high school, participated in the investigation. A subscale of the Child and Adolescent Assessment System (Sistema de evaluación de niños y adolescentes SENA) was used to assess integration and social competence. Additionally, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-12) and the Acculturation Stress Source Scale (FEAC) were used. The results show that integration and social competence have statistically significant and direct associations with resilience ( < 0.001) and indirect associations with acculturation stress ( = 0.009). Both constructs could be defined as protection and risk factors, respectively, and should be considered in educational contexts to favor adaptation in the integration of migrant children and adolescents.
近年来，智利的移民数量呈指数级增长，教育是这种文化转变的主要关注点之一。移民群体的融入和社会能力取决于几个因素。本研究旨在评估弹性和文化适应压力对智利北部移民学生的融入和社会能力水平的潜在影响。共有 292 名来自四至十二年级的 8 至 18 岁的男女学生参与了这项调查。使用儿童和青少年评估系统（Sistema de evaluación de niños y adolescentes SENA）的一个子量表来评估融入和社会能力。此外，还使用了儿童和青年适应能力量表（CYRM-12）和文化适应压力源量表（FEAC）。结果表明，融入和社会能力与弹性有统计学上显著的直接关联（<0.001），与文化适应压力有间接关联（=0.009）。这两个结构都可以分别被定义为保护和风险因素，应该在教育环境中考虑，以有利于移民儿童和青少年的融入和适应。
