| Summary: | This research was oriented to determine if there are differences in the performance of executive functions in children that legitimize and do not legitimize the use of violence when facing simulated conflicts. An explanatory study was carried out with a 2 x 4 factorial design. The Student's t-test was used for the analysis. The sample consisted of 130 children (80 boys and 50 girls), between 8 and 12 years old, public school students from the municipality of Soledad. For the evaluation of executive functions, the Children's Neuropsychological Evaluation Battery ENI was used, subtests of executive functions and the Posner task was administered for the inhibitory control measure. The legitimation of the violence was evaluated through the video game Leyendas de Almar. The main results pointed out that there is no statistically significant relationship in the performance of executive functions of children who agree with those who do not agree to face conflicts. However, in some subcomponents of executive functions performance was slightly higher in children who responded aggressively compared to those who did not. It is concluded that, although the executive functions mediate the willingness to justify the use of violence, the way of dealing with conflicts does not depend exclusively on a special performance of these functions. However, there are environmental variables that may influence decision making in everyday conflict situations. |
