The objective of this study is to identify the psychosocial profiles of state employees based on the burnout-engagement model and other associated factors. 147 administrative staff of a Government Offices in Mendoza, Argentina participated. Different psychometric tests were applied to measure burnout, engagement, characteristics of the job, psychosocial climate and perception of mobbing. The methodological design is quantitative, descriptive-explanatory. The results obtained allow us to identify the coexistence of different psychosocial profiles in the same labor context, an important input for management decision making with a view to generating preventive and corrective strategies in relation to psychosocial risks at work or motivating occupational health. On the theoretical level, it contributes to the dialectical perspective of integrating positive and negative experiences in one same job dynamic.

Several measures were developed in the past decades to measure personality, focusing on the Big Five Factor Model (BFFM; Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism). Despite the relevance of their findings in different countries, a shared limitation of such measures is their length, demanding time from researchers and participants, which might cause boredom or fatigue, biasing the final results. This research aimed to provide a shorter version for the 44-Item Big Five Inventory (BFI), through two studies (NTotal = 8,119). The structure was assessed using a range of techniques (e.g., PAF analysis, Procrustes rotation). The best 20 items (4 per factor) were chosen to compose the final version of the BFI-20, which presented suitable psychometric evidences across the samples. Thus, due the growing need for shorter measures without losing their psychometric quality, our findings indicate the adequacy of the 20-item BFI and its potential applicability in research context.

The high prevalence of mental health problems in LGBT people has been explained from the minority stress model. Homolesbobitransphobia and the internalization of stigma are stress processes that impact mental health. The internalization and hypervigilance of the stigma and the concealment of sexual diverse identity can be barriers to the provision of appropriated mental health care. In order to identify aspects that constitute barriers and facilitators for mental health care, 30 interviews from a previous study with LGBT adolescents and youth who had survived suicide were re-analyzed. Focused coding of the Grounded Theory was used, developing three core categories: Hypervigilance in psychological help, The need for help for internalized stigma, and The place of sexual orientation and gender identity in psychological help. From the analysis emerged global concept called "So Close yet So Far", synthesizing the barriers to provide psychological and psychotherapeutic help that is sensitive to the needs of LGBT adolescents and youth.

The experiences of coping with adversities among nine Latinx adult participants (six females, three males) who self-identified as ethnically mixed were explored through semi-structured, individual interviews. Participants identified a range of challenges related to their mixed identity status, including experiences of discrimination and instances of identity conflict. Participants specified methods of overcoming challenges they faced as mixed individuals including seeking cultural commonalities, finding strength and pride within their cultures, exercising acceptance, and emphasizing aspects of oneself depending on contexts and circumstances. Finally, participants discussed resilience related growth experiences related to their mixed identity characterized by improved relationships and self-esteem. The findings provide detailed information about resilience for these mixed Latinx individuals that may be helpful in better understanding and serving others who identify similarly.

The goals of this study are to do a bibliographic review and establish study topics on Psychology and professional gamers in esports, as well as finding out possible researching ways about it. The search was done in Science Direct databases, PubMed and PsycINFO. The total amount was 101 documents published between 2012 and the 13 of June of 2020. From these documents 24 were selected as representatives. The analyzed studies were mainly based on 8 different subjects: psychological training, personality characteristics, team processes, negative consequences of esports, professional career, benefits of esports, psychological skills and processes and invisible training. The Journal Psychology Applied to Sport and Physical Exercise is one of the main contributors to this subject. In conclusion, an exhaustive review shows a growing interest in the subject of esports and its relationship with the field of Psychology, as well as the future lines of research that have been opened.

This research studies whether the moment of occurrence of a task or contextual behaviour with a low performance produces a primacy or recency effect and whether it causes changes in performance appraisal. We also analyzed whether the nature of assessment questionnaire items affects raters’ assessments and how the sequence of questionnaire presentation and completion may do so. Participants were 146 undergraduate students. We used a design with two inter-subject variables (questionnaire presentation and performance sequence) and one within-subject variable (global versus specific questionnaires). Findings show that if a low performance is presented at the beginning of the assessment period, the performance assessment will be more negative. Also, results indicate that task performance appraisals and contextual behaviour assessments are higher and less accurate when performed with a questionnaire that includes global items.

This research aimed to understand the relationship between the effects of two types of violence, sexual abuse and bullying, in the life of school adolescents. This is a case study developed in a public school in southern Brazil. Four female adolescents participated. The instruments of data collection were: Reflexive Interviews and school document records. Grounded-theory was used to analyse the data. The results showed that the participants adopted coping strategies such as denying the role of victims of family violence, with low success in the educational environment. The suffering of sexual abuse showed that being emotionally debilitated made them to be targets of bullying. Nevertheless, they showed an ecological-systemic perception of the interactions of the negative effects of the two types of violence in their lives.

This review presents a critical reading of the literature on social buffering in human and non-human animals. The term social buffering has been coined to refer to an attenuation of stress responses by the presence of conspecifics. Evidence shows that the buffer seems to be specific for each stage of development, being the mother the factor that attenuates the stress responses during early development and conspecifics of the same age, later in life. An animal model of scarcity of resources revealed that when being reared by a stressed mother, the social buffering effect does not occur. The literature reviewed allows us to approach a key factor related to stress and its effects in the different stages of ontogeny.

Test development and use have been described as the flagship of applied psychology. This article discusses the status of test development and use internationally. Country and regional differences in test development and use exist and are explained considering the qualities needed to support test development and use. The relevance of tests, like other technologies, should change in light of changing needs of those who rely on test data. Some prominent changes to which tests should respond are reviewed. Several conditions that are external to and internal within psychology that impact test development and use are reviewed. These and other issues impact test development and use in Peru.
