Previous research has shown that exposure to nicotine and other drugs of abuse stimulate dopaminergic neurons in the mesolimbic circuit. Sustained activation of this circuit by prolonged exposure to drugs promotes locomotor sensitization. However, there are inconsistent reports about nicotine-induced locomotor sensitization when assessed among different developmental stages. We evaluated exploratory behavior on specific areas of the open field as an indicator of behavioral disinhibition and general locomotor activity as an indicator of nicotine-induced locomotor sensitization, to further explore the mechanisms underlying behavioral adaptations to nicotine exposure in animals from different developmental stages. We found that while adolescent and adult rats are equally responsive to nicotine-induced locomotor sensitization, nicotine disrupts inhibition of risk-related behavior only in adolescent rats. Together, our results suggest that chronic daily exposure to nicotine promotes potentiation of its stimulant effects on locomotor activity. In adolescents, this effect is accompanied by a decreased capacity to inhibit risk-related behaviors under the acute effect of the drug. How to cite this article: Novoa, C., Solano, J.

先前的研究表明,尼古丁和其他滥用药物会刺激中脑边缘回路中的多巴胺能神经元。通过长期暴露于药物而持续激活该回路可促进运动敏化。然而,在不同发育阶段评估尼古丁诱导的运动敏化时,有不一致的报道。我们评估了开放性特定区域的探索性行为作为行为解除抑制的指标,以及一般运动活动作为尼古丁诱导的运动敏化的指标,以进一步探讨不同发育阶段动物对尼古丁暴露的行为适应机制。我们发现,虽然青春期大鼠和成年大鼠对尼古丁诱导的运动致敏反应相同,但尼古丁仅在青春期大鼠中破坏了对风险相关行为的抑制。总之,我们的研究结果表明,长期每日暴露于尼古丁可增强其对运动活动的刺激作用。在青少年中,这种效果伴随着药物急性作用下抑制风险相关行为的能力下降。本文出处:Novoa, C, Solano, J.

This study carried out a follow-up three and six months after the application of a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program, aiming to verify the maintenance of social skills in Elementary Education students in situations of social vulnerability from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A sample of the intervention and control groups composed of 20 students aged 10 to 13 (M = 10.3, SD = 0.8), boys and girls were selected. The SSRS (Social Skill Rating System) and the TDE (School Achievement Test) used in the intervention for teachers and students were reapplied. The results showed that the decrease in psychopathological symptoms and the improvements in academic performance were maintained after the intervention. These findings highlight the relevance of developing social emotional learning programs with elementary school students. How to cite this article: Souza, M.S., Soares, A.B., & Freitas, C.P.P. (2021).

The present work aims to study which factors are relevant in the long-term mate selection, from a Lonely-hearts personal advertisement sample of Spanish-speaking consumers of Cosmopolitan Magazine´s Colombian Edition. We analyzed 1468 publications (770 men and 698 women) using a coding system based on the theories of sexual strategies, genetic quality indicators and the preferences classification used in personal ads studies. Initially, we found trends as a greater predilection for psychological attributes and a greater demand to require more traits than offering them. In addition, the cross-cultural pattern demonstrated that men prefer women’s physical characteristics, while women require status/resources by men. Finally, men tended to be more selective in the age range of 36-45 years, while women’s selectivity decreased with age. The results replicate many of the patterns found in investigations related to human sexual selection, also bring enlightenment about new preference dimensions to study in the future.

This study aimed to investigate the discriminative capacity of IDCP-2 factors to identify people with suicide risk. Moreover, we are providing a suicide total score for IDCP-2. Participeted 346 people aged between 18 and 72 years who responded to ASIQ, IDCP-2, and PID-5. We divided participants into three groups: low-risk group moderate-risk and high-risk group. We conducted mean comparisons, linear regression analysis, and ROC curve verification. The IDCP-2 factors were able to discriminate between the groups, with the high-risk presenting the highest means. The regression indicated Self-devaluation and Hopelessness as variables with a significant single contribution in explaining suicidal behavior. Suicide risk indicators demonstrated adequate performance in identifying people according to the risk group. Our findings indicate that the IDCP-2 factors can discriminate groups of people according to suicidal behavior. Besides, the index developed showed sensitivity in the identification of people who reported attempted suicide. How to cite this article: Gonçalves, A.P., Machado, G.M., Pianowski, G., Carvalho, L.F.

Refortalecimiento is a strategy for transformation that started with a debate with the empowerment theory. We have been clarifying the notion of refortalecimiento from experiences at communities and academic’s scenarios. As a result, we need to re-imagine some of our concepts to address the consequences of inequalities. In this article, we will present some reflections about three concepts: intervention, prevention model, and empowerment theory based in an Intervention-Investigation (I-I) realized in a community with a group of mothers of children with disabilities (diverse abilities) in an impoverish community in Puerto Rico. We confirmed the need to reevaluate the impact of different concepts/perspectives operating within the project that undermine the implementation process. We learned that the beauty of this process resides on the reciprocity and the fortalezas (strengths) that takes place within all the people involved. But we also find out neoliberal values as: individualism, competition, and everyone for themselves presented great obstacles to overcome discrimination and disparities.

Refortalecimiento是一种转型战略,始于与赋权理论的辩论。我们已经从社区和学术场景的经验中澄清了“改革经济”的概念。因此,我们需要重新设想我们的一些概念,以解决不平等的后果。在这篇文章中,我们将提出一些关于三个概念的思考:干预,预防模式和授权理论基于干预调查(I-I)在波多黎各一个贫困社区的一群残疾儿童(不同能力)的母亲的社区实现。我们确认有必要重新评估在项目中运行的不同概念/观点的影响,这些概念/观点会破坏实施过程。我们了解到,这个过程的美妙之处在于所有参与其中的人之间的互惠和力量。但我们也发现,新自由主义价值观如:个人主义、竞争和人人为自己,为克服歧视和不平等提供了巨大的障碍。本文引用方式:Vázquez-Rivera, C. & Rojas-Livia, J.(2021)。改革改造:波多黎各改善社区的预防、赋权和干预。哥伦比亚研究Psicología, 31(1), 109-124。https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v31n1.88726

The internal structure is investigated in mental health measures, exploring or confirming the association of stimuli composing the test and whether this structure is consistent with expectation. Our focus is on the internal structure of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (idcp-2), a self-report test for pathological traits measurement. Previous studies have only partially verified the internal structure of idcp-2. The objective of this study is to verify the internal structure of idcp-2, contemplating in the same analysis all its dimensions and factors. Participants were 2,000 people from the general population. We conducted confirmatory (cfa) and exploratory (efa) factorial analyzes, including bifactor models. The results showed the bifactor model with 12 specific factors with best fit indices. The internal consistency for the general factor was above .90, and from .40 to .91 for the specific factors. Findings suggested the original solution of idcp-2 is reasonable using a bifactor model. How to cite this article: Carvalho, L.F., Gonçalves, A.P., Araujo, J.A., Macedo F.M. (2021).

Introducción: diferentes autores señalan la necesidad de realizar más estudios sobre las variables asociadas con la homonegatividad internalizada (hi) en Latinoamérica. Objetivo: explorar la asociación entre la hi, la autoidentificación con la homosexualidad y las variables sociodemográficas (género, edad, nivel educativo y desigualdad económica). Método: un muestreo no probabilístico tipo “Bola de nieve” fue realizado en un grupo de 489 personas con un promedio de 23.4 años de edad (de=6.6) en cinco ciudades colombianas (Bogotá, Barranquilla, Pereira, Villavicencio y Tunja). El grado de autoidentificación con la homosexualidad fue estimado con la escala de Kinsey. También se utilizó un cuestionario de hi. Resultados: un análisis de regresión lineal jerárquica mostró que la hi está asociada significativamente con el género, el grado de identificación con la orientación sexual y la edad, pero no con el nivel educativo o la desigualdad económica. A pesar de que todas las variables estudiadas aportaron algún grado de varianza al modelo, la autoidentificación con la homosexualidad y el género aportaron el mayor porcentaje de varianza para explicar la asociación con hi. Discusión: este estudio permite una primera aproximación empírica al estudio de la hi en Colombia y resalta la importancia de implementar políticas públicas y el uso de terapias afirmativas para disminuirla, particularmente en hombres jóvenes en proceso de autoidentificación con lahomosexualidad.

Método: un muestreo no probabilístico tipo “Bola de nieve” fue realizado en un grupo de 489 personas con un promedio de 23.4 años de edad (de=6.6) en cinco ciudades colombianas (Bogotá, Barranquilla, Pereira, Villavicencio y Tunja). El grado de autoidentificación con la homosexualidad fue estimado con la escala de Kinsey. También se utilizó un cuestionario de hi. Resultados: un análisis de regresión lineal jerárquica mostró que la hi está asociada significativamente con el género, el grado de identificación con la orientación sexual y la edad, pero no con el nivel educativo o la desigualdad económica. A pesar de que todas las variables estudiadas aportaron algún grado de varianza al modelo, la autoidentificación con la homosexualidad y el género aportaron el mayor porcentaje de varianza para explicar la asociación con hi. Discusión: este estudio permite una primera aproximación empírica al estudio de la hi en Colombia y resalta la importancia de implementar políticas públicas y el uso de terapias afirmativas para disminuirla, particularmente en hombres jóvenes en proceso de autoidentificación con lahomosexualidad.","PeriodicalId":38673,"journal":{"name":"Revista Colombiana de Psicologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49498010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study relies on the assumption that one of the main effects of phycological empowerment composed by attributes like self-esteem, locus of control, and assertiveness, is increased autonomy. The theoretical arguments are tested based on a structural equation model that allows estimating hypothetical relationships simultaneously. Additionally, differences in means between women and men are estimated for each phycological variable and the hypothetical model is tested separately to both sexes. 1,569 people (56% women) from five Mexican States compose the sample. The average age is 29 years and 59% of the sample has college degrees. The results suggest that psychological empowerment is strongly related to autonomy. How to cite this article: Muñoz-Márquez, C.

The current study has as its objective to analyze the relationship between students’ attitude towards learning English and the procrastinating behavior at the academic level. Attitudes strengthen people’s motivation to learn a foreign language (Delfín, 2007), and procrastination, which involves unjustified delaying of activities, causes negative consequences in completing academic tasks postponement of responsibilities (Rodríguez & Clariana, 2017). The design was correlational, and the sample consisted of 55 students learning English. The instruments were the Attitudes towards English language learning questionnaire and the academic procrastination questionnaire. According to the results, evidence shows that there is a positive median relationship between the variables, leading us to conclude that despite having positive attitudes towards learning English, procrastinating behavior does not diminish. The results of this study could be utilized in bilingual programs, or those could also be utilized to implement curricula in language programs at schools or universities. The idea is that higher education institutions include, as mandatory, the instruction of English as a global language. How to cite this article: Marquina Luján, R. J., Huaire Inacio, E.
