Abstract
Adolescence in Spain, Palestine and Portugal: a comparative analysis. This article summarizes the conclusions of our research on adolescence in Spain, Palestine and Portugal. We intented to establish the behavioral patterns -global and differential- in the main field of social life, the relationships of adolescents with their groups, the determinant factors of their antisocial behaviours and, generally, their perception of social reality. We have considered a set of social and demographic outstanding variables and we have used a great number of questionnaires and scales to measure the psychological and social dimensions. The results suggest the influence of socialization contexts of adolescents on social adjustment and deviance; also, the differences among the national groups directly related with the different attitude in the religious fact.
