This article aims to identify and analyze the facilitating and disturbing dimensions of social behavior in students of a district educational institution in the city of Barranquilla. The research was developed using a mixed methodology approach, the data collection technique was supported in the use of the BAS 1, 2 and 3 socialization battery addressed to students, teachers and parents or caregivers. The results showed that the 3 profiles researched coincide in a high score on the scales of facilitating aspects such as leadership, joviality, social sensitivity and respect-self-control, while in the disturbing dimensions they agree in the scale of aggressiveness-stubbornness, apathy-withdrawal and anxiety-shyness. This allows concluding that the students have greater individual characteristics that facilitate social adaptation in the classroom which leads to incentivize them in various spaces to strengthen them and prevent the accelerated development of disturbing dimensions.
