Abstract

Abstract Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) configure highly prevalent problems, especially among socially vulnerable groups. ACEs are likely to damage psychosocial development, affecting the acquisition of socio-emotional skills, which are important for adaptive functioning. This study sought to verify the association between ACEs and socio-emotional competencies (indicated by levels in empathy and self-control skills), considering female and male genders as possible moderating variables. Data were collected from 1,302 adolescents who studied at public schools in socially vulnerable areas. Females showed a higher prevalence of ACEs. The levels of empathy and self-control differed between genders depending on the history of specific types of ACEs. Results indicate the need for further research into the influence of gender stereotypes on the psychosocial development of adolescents. (AU)
