Resumen

En la actualidad, las enfermedades mentales, incluida la ansiedad, han cobrado una creciente relevancia a nivel global. De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la ansiedad constituye la enfermedad mental más prevalente a escala mundial, afectando aproximadamente a 301 millones de personas a nivel global, y en el caso de los niños de 8 a 9 años en Ecuador el 42.7% percibe tener ansiedad. El presente artículo se centra en el análisis de la relación entre el nivel socioeconómico y la ansiedad en estudiantes de 4to EGB durante el período 2020-2021. Mediante la aplicación del modelo Probit y empleando el método de Máxima Verosimilitud (MV), se determina que, por cada incremento de un punto en el índice socioeconómico, la probabilidad de percibir ansiedad disminuye en un 20.7%. No obstante, la investigación resalta que el fenómeno de percibir ansiedad está presente en todos los estratos del índice socioeconómico.
