Resumen

An assessment of socioemotional factors was carried out on persons with a degree of disability for the analysis of data on their emotional state when interacting in the social and family environment, using the Piers Harris self-concept scale and the Rosenberg self-esteem, in which 20 persons with a degree of disability between 15 and 35 years of age participated. The problem is focused on the lack of study of the emotional states of a person who has a degree of disability and inclusion in the social and family part. The application of the survey of the scale of socioemotional skills in the social and family environment allows to analyze their emotions and inclusion in their environment, in which most people with a degree of disability, hold a considerable average that they are not fully included in their social and family environment. This is because they argue that, having a degree of physical disability, they are more vulnerable to be excluded in activities, participation, tasks, among others. It turned out that 71.5 % of the people who have a degree of incapacity have a low emotional state and need alternatives to be able to include the social and family environment, of which they need to be intervened with psychological help to improve the quality of life.
