Anomia y Alienación en Estudiantes Secundarios de Santiago de Chile: Resultados Iniciales de un Estudio Comparativo 1989-2007

in a sample of chilean students in their last year of high school (n = 343) anomie and psychosocial alienation were measured with a questionnaire validated in an analogous study done in 1989. this study compared the results of 1989 with those of 2007. this comparison contributes to the psychosocial characterization of social and normative integration experiences of chilean youth today, and to the analysis of their transformations approximately 20 years later. the results show that there is not a clear difference in the social and normative integration levels in the studied youth, with respect to those of 1989.
