    El objetivo del presente estudio fue elaborar un perfil de la población mexicana migrante en Estados Unidos que permitiera ubicarlos de una manera sencilla y rápida, en cuanto al nivel de apoyo social, con el que cuentan fuera de su lugar de origen. Se realizó el estudio con la participación de 82 migrantes mexicanos en el área de Florida, que respondieron una escala de cinco reactivos, desarrollada para esta investigación. Se realizó un Escalograma de Orden Parcial para la muestra general, así como para cada sexo. Los resultados indican que las mujeres, a diferencia de los hombres, tienen más apoyo social. La disposición de un agente de consuelo, así como de un consejero espiritual, resultaron ser las variables más significativas en el análisis para diferenciar los patrones de apoyo. Este estudio constituye una propuesta para evaluar de manera exploratoria, los tipos de apoyo disponibles para los migrantes, utilizando un número relativamente mínimo de variables para tal efecto.

    The purpose of this study was to create a profile of the Mexican migrant population in the UnitedStates, which would allow us to identify them in a quick and easy way based on their level of social support. 82 Mexican migrants who lived and worked in Florida participated; they answered a five-item test, specifically developed for this research. A Partial Order Scalogram Analysis was performed on the total sample, as well as by gender. The results showed that women perceive more availability of social support than men. The accessibility to a comfort agent, as well as that of a spiritual counselor, was the most significant variables in the analysis. This study represents a proposal to further studies in the research of social support types available to migrants, with the added advantage of using a relatively low number of variables.
