Group "Research in child and adolescent population: methodological, clinical and evolutionary implications".
The main goal of this research group, of which Miguel Ángel Carrasco is a member, is the study and analysis of psychological adjustment and adaptation problems in the child and adolescent population. To this end, it tries to approach the task fundamentally from an ecological perspective that goes beyond the personal aspects of the child and adolescent to their main socialization contexts, the family, the school and their social environment. This has resulted in numerous publications in journals and books that have included both empirical and theoretical studies, as well as the validation and creation of different assessment instruments.
