Many of the problems of violence and intolerance are associated with a deficit of mechanisms that allow the individual to function effectively, and therefore are trying to find tools of social relevance to define the factors that shape these behaviors in order to develop methodologies to develop techniques geared towards assertive skills that reinforce these individual characteristics in each subject. This is why this research focused on identifying the components of social competence with which children and adolescents have Bucaramanga and relationship with demographic characteristics (age, education, socioeconomic status). A quantitative study, cross-sectional correlational raised. The sample was for convenience, with a total of 330 participants aged between 8 and 17 years. Messy scale the applied and analysis of results was carried out by SPSS.
