TREINAMENTO DE HABILIDADES SOCIAIS EM UNIVERSITÁRIOS: UMA ANÁLISE DE PRODUÇÃO NACIONAL

Abstract

This research aimed to conduct a systematic review on the topic of Social Skills Training in university students published in national journals, in terms of bibliographic characteristics, methodological trends and to point out the possible interventions that were used in these Social Skills Training programs with the university audience. The databases consulted were: SciELO, Pepsic, Lilacs, CAPES and Index Psi, in the last 10 years (between January 2009 to September 2019). Nine articles were found, the majority of studies containing preexperimental designs, with a predominance in the use of objective and self-report instruments and aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Although the results are positive, it is hoped that this study will help guide new research in the area, since it was possible to notice the need to develop more studies with experimental and quasi-experimental designs, aiming to contribute to the improvement of the social skills of university students and increasingly enrich the literature on Social Skills.
