While presence of meaning in life (i.e., presence) is associated with a plethora of desirable qualities (e.g., greater well-being, longevity, positive affect), search for meaning is associated with psychological distress (e.g., reports of conflict, rumination, depression; Boyle, Barnes, Buchman, & Bennett, 2009). Individuals with higher resiliency, defined as a multifaceted competency in adapting and recovering from adversity, could potentially mitigate the distress associated with search, and thus, achieve greater satisfaction with life (SWL). The present study examined the moderating role of meaning in life between resiliency (i.e., sense of mastery and sense of relatedness) and SWL in a sample of Canadian university students ( N =289). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that there was a positive association between resiliency and SWL and this association was stronger at higher levels compared to lower levels of search for meaning. These results suggest that individuals searching for meaning with high levels of mastery have the greatest SWL, while their counterparts with low mastery have the lowest SWL. Similar moderating effects of search were found with the positive association between sense of relatedness and SWL. Overall, findings suggest that protective factors in resiliency may buffer against the potential negative impact of search.

Resumen Aunque la literatura ha abordado ampliamente el estudio de la prisionizacion, el analisis de los efectos de las variables criminologicas en la adaptacion a prision y del estatus social en prision, y de estas en el ajuste psicologico y las destrezas cognitivas que emplean los internos no ha sido suficientemente trabajado. Para conocer de ello, evaluamos en variables criminologicas, adaptacion a prision, estatus social en prision, ajuste psicologico y destrezas cognitivas a una muestra de 112 internos varones en cumplimiento de una pena privativa de libertad de una prision portuguesa, con edades entre 23 y 74 anos ( M = 40.40, DT = 1.04), 77 (68.8 %) con antecedentes penales (reincidentes). Los resultados revelaron que las variables criminologicas (e.g., problemas en la familia) estaban relacionados con niveles mas bajos de adaptacion a la prision. Ademas, los internos presentaban peor ajuste psicologico que la poblacion general, y los reincidentes que los primarios. Asimismo, tambien pusieron de manifiesto que los internos se caracterizaban en la resolucion de problemas por recurrir a estrategias de afrontamiento evitativas (i.e., Evitacion cognitiva, Aceptacion o Resignacion, Busqueda de recompensas alternativas, Descarga emocional), en detrimento de las aproximativas (i.e., Analisis logico). Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para el diseno de programas de intervencion dentro de prision y la preparacion para la vida en libertad (i.e., tercer grado). Abstract Although prisonization has been studied in previous literature, the effects of criminological variables on prison adaption and prison social status; and of the latter on psychological adjustment and cognitive skills have not been sufficiently analysed. As for knowing about this, 112 male prison inmates with an age range between 23 and 74 years ( M = 40.40, SD = 1.04), 77 (68.8 %) with criminal records (recidivists) serving sentences in a Portuguese prison were evaluated in prison adaption, prison social status, psychological adjustment and cognitive skills. The results showed that criminological variables (e.g., family problems) were related with lower levels of adaption to prison. Furthermore, prison inmates exhibited a significant worse psychological adjustment than the normative population, and recidivists than primary offenders. Likewise, the results revealed that prison inmates were characterized in problem solving tasks by adopting an avoidant coping style (i.e., Cognitive avoidance, Acceptance or Resignation, Seeking alternative rewards, Emotional discharge), at the expense of an approach coping style (i.e., Logical analysis).

Resumen La relacion madre-hijo se ha estudiado tradicionalmente desde la perspectiva de la teoria del apego. Pero, ademas, es un fenomeno psicologico y social al que el nino dota de sentido y que trata de comprender. Para explorar la comprension infantil de esta dimension de la relacion, hemos entrevistado a 85 ninos de entre siete y nueve anos mediante una entrevista semiestructurada con cuatro historias, en las que se relacionaban el Sistema de Apego y el Sistema de Cuidado.

Abstract The mother-child relationship has traditionally been studied from the perspective of attachment theory. But in addition, they are a psychological and social phenomenon to which the child gives meaning and tries to understand. To explore the child's understanding of this dimension of the relationship, we interviewed 85 children between 7 and 9 years old through a semi-structured interview with four stories, in which the Attachment System and the System of Care were related. The analysis of the children's responses shows that 97 % attribute discomfort in the mother in relation to the experience of threat of the child. Children of these ages already have an understanding of the Mother's System of Care in connection with the child's attachment system. The responsibility and empathy of the mother are part of the responses of children of these ages as activators of their behavior of care and protection for the child. Children´s representations can be organized at increasingly sophisticated and complex levels of understanding. Knowing the feelings and motivations that children attribute to the mother in her role of primary caregiver and the child's vision of the emotional laws that govern affective mother-child relationships, can offer us new perspectives on how attachment relationships are built and be useful in the detection and intervention in unhealthy attachments, in both members of the dyad.

This paper describes a single-case psychological intervention with a Spanish National Greco-Roman Wrestling Team wrestler. The aim of the intervention was to reduce pre-competitive anxiety in order to increase his athletic performance through a psychological skills program based on mental imagery, thought stopping, cognitive restructuring and pre-competitive routines. The CSAI-2R was used before, during and after the intervention for assessing anxiety. Self-monitoring registers for mental imagery, thought stopping, cognitive restructuration and precompetitive routines specifically designed for this case were also used. Results showed the athlete highly reduced precompetitive anxiety and increase athletic performance.

Resumen La violencia sexual es un problema actual sobre el que se necesita estudio empirico, pues afecta a mas del 30 % de las mujeres en sus relaciones con los hombres. El objetivo de esta investigacion ha sido comprobar el modo en el que el tipo de tactica utilizada para conseguir sexo, el genero y el sexismo benevolo influyen en la responsabilidad que se le atribuye al agresor. Utilizando una muestra de 305 participantes, se presenta un escenario sexual en el contexto de una relacion de pareja, en el que se manipula el tipo de tactica utilizada para tener sexo (neutra, persuasion o coercion sexual). Los resultados indican que las personas responsabilizan mas al agresor cuando la tactica utilizada es persuasion o coercion sexual, que cuando se utilizan tacticas no violentas (neutra). Ademas, se comprueba que los hombres con alto sexismo benevolo culpan menos al agresor solamente cuando este utiliza tacticas mas sutiles de violencia sexual (persuasion sexual), mientras que este efecto no ocurre en las mujeres. Estos resultados permiten proporcionar un marco teorico sobre el que incidir para establecer los limites de los comportamientos que se consideran aceptables o no en una relacion, contribuyendo a su deteccion y rechazo, asi como para considerar su influencia en la toma de decision del ambito juridico en los casos de violencia de genero. Abstract Sexual violence is a current problem that requires empirical study, since it affects more than 30 % of women in their relationships with men. The aim of the research has been to verify the way in which the type of tactics used to obtain sex, along with gender and benevolent sexism can have an impact on the responsibility attributed to the aggressor. Using a sample of 305 participants, a sexual scenario is presented in a relationship context where the type of tactic used to have sex (neutral, sexual coaxing, or sexual coercion) is manipulated. The results indicate that people attribute more responsibility to the aggressor when the tactic used is sexual coaxing or sexual coercion than when using non-violent (neutral) tactics. In addition, men with high benevolent sexism blame the aggressor less, but only when the subtlest tactics of sexual violence (sexual coaxing) are used, whereas this effect does not occur in women. These results provide a theoretical framework for establishing the limits of the behaviours that are considered acceptable (or not) in a relationship, contributing to their detection and having implications for legal decision-making in cases of gender violence.

A parenting coordinator (PC) is a professional who intervenes in judicial contexts involving high conflict parental litigation in order to safeguard the child’s best interest, as well as dealing with issues concerning coparenting. This new role has been the object of specific directives from international professional associations such as the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC, 2006), and the American Psychological Association (APA, 2012), who have established guidelines for professional practice. The figure of the PC has been introduced only recently in Spain, with Catalonia being the first autonomous communities to do so. Bearing these circumstances in mind, this study aims to assess the impact of this new figure on judicial judgements by examining both the legal reasoning, and the judges’ rationale guiding the professional practice of this figure. Judicial judgements from the CENDOJ database involving the figure of the Parenting coordinator were analysed. The results obtained shed light on the legal reasoning cited by judicial decision-makers in their judgements and the criteria employed to justify this new figure and its correspondence with international guidelines. Judgements were found to be grounded on legal reasoning and the criteria was essentially in accordance with guidelines proposed by international associations. Nevertheless, legal decision-makers must further their understanding concerning the role of the CP in order to assist families with high conflict parents to ensure positive coparenting.

Resumen La formacion de juicios y la toma de decisiones judiciales deberian estar sustentadas en razonamientos formales o estadisticos, y no en razonamientos sesgados de modo que no deberian contener razonamientos sesgados. Una fuente de sesgo profusamente estudiada en la literatura es el anclaje que implica un ahorro cognitivo al aceptar la hipotesis inicial sin confirmarla y rechazar informacion o hipotesis alternativas, aunque puedan resultar relevantes para el juicio o decision. Para conocer de la prevalencia y los efectos del anclaje en sentencias judiciales de casos de familia, seleccionamos al azar 811 sentencias en disputa por la guarda y custodia de la base de datos del CENDOJ. El anclaje se midio a traves de la demanda inicial en la disputa por la custodia (juzgado de familia) o en la decision del tribunal previo (apelaciones). Los resultados mostraron que el 70.2 % las decisiones estaban ancladas. Un analisis de contenido sistematico de las sentencias presto apoyo a la hipotesis de que el anclaje sirve a jueces y tribunales como herramienta para el ahorro cognitivo (alrededor del 12 %). Ademas, las sentencias ancladas contenian significativamente menos razonamientos favorables a la custodia; menos informacion idiosincrasica, o sea, razonamientos propios del juez; y menos informacion contextual, esto es, menos prueba basada en evidencia. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para la formacion de juicios y toma de decisiones judiciales, asi como las opciones de mitigar sus efectos. Abstract Judicial judgment and decision making should be sustained in formal or statistical reasoning, avoiding biased reasoning. Thus, judicial reasoning should not contain any bias. A profusely studied source of bias is anchorage implying a cognitive saving by accepting the initial hypothesis without confirming it and rejecting other information or alternative hypotheses though they may be relevant to the task at hand. As for knowing the prevalence and effects of anchored sentences in family cases’ judicial sentences, 811 Spanish custody dispute sentences were randomly selected from the CENDOJ data base. Anchorage was measured through initial claimant in child custody dispute (first instance court) or prior judicial decision-making (appeal court). The results stated that 70.2 % of the judicial sentences were anchored. A systematic content analysis of the sentences gave support to the hypothesis that anchorage provides judges and courts a skill to save cognitive activity (about 12 %). Moreover, anchored sentences contained significantly fewer reasoning favourable to custody; fewer idiosyncratic information i.e., own reasoning of the judge; and fewer contextual information i.e., less evidence-based. The implications for judicial judgment and decision are discussed, as well as the possibilities to control the anchorage prevalence in judicial sentences.

Una fuente de sesgo profusamente estudiada en la literatura es el anclaje que implica un ahorro cognitivo al aceptar la hipotesis inicial sin confirmarla y rechazar informacion o hipotesis alternativas, aunque puedan resultar relevantes para el juicio o decision. Para conocer de la prevalencia y los efectos del anclaje en sentencias judiciales de casos de familia, seleccionamos al azar 811 sentencias en disputa por la guarda y custodia de la base de datos del CENDOJ. El anclaje se midio a traves de la demanda inicial en la disputa por la custodia (juzgado de familia) o en la decision del tribunal previo (apelaciones). Los resultados mostraron que el 70.2 % las decisiones estaban ancladas. Un analisis de contenido sistematico de las sentencias presto apoyo a la hipotesis de que el anclaje sirve a jueces y tribunales como herramienta para el ahorro cognitivo (alrededor del 12 %). Ademas, las sentencias ancladas contenian significativamente menos razonamientos favorables a la custodia; menos informacion idiosincrasica, o sea, razonamientos propios del juez; y menos informacion contextual, esto es, menos prueba basada en evidencia. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para la formacion de juicios y toma de decisiones judiciales, asi como las opciones de mitigar sus efectos. Abstract Judicial judgment and decision making should be sustained in formal or statistical reasoning, avoiding biased reasoning. Thus, judicial reasoning should not contain any bias. A profusely studied source of bias is anchorage implying a cognitive saving by accepting the initial hypothesis without confirming it and rejecting other information or alternative hypotheses though they may be relevant to the task at hand. As for knowing the prevalence and effects of anchored sentences in family cases’ judicial sentences, 811 Spanish custody dispute sentences were randomly selected from the CENDOJ data base. Anchorage was measured through initial claimant in child custody dispute (first instance court) or prior judicial decision-making (appeal court). The results stated that 70.2 % of the judicial sentences were anchored. A systematic content analysis of the sentences gave support to the hypothesis that anchorage provides judges and courts a skill to save cognitive activity (about 12 %). Moreover, anchored sentences contained significantly fewer reasoning favourable to custody; fewer idiosyncratic information i.e., own reasoning of the judge; and fewer contextual information i.e., less evidence-based. The implications for judicial judgment and decision are discussed, as well as the possibilities to control the anchorage prevalence in judicial sentences.","PeriodicalId":43927,"journal":{"name":"Accion Psicologica","volume":"14 1","pages":"147-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5944/AP.14.2.21239","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41396598","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}
Resumen El clima laboral es el resultado de las percepciones de los trabajadores asociados a su ambiente de trabajo mientras que la cultura es el conjunto de comportamientos, ideas y sentimientos compartidos que describen la forma en que se trabaja en una organizacion y que, por tanto, la definen. Estas percepciones del ambiente que definen al clima, se caracterizan porque pueden ser variables entre las personas, lo que se conoce como fuerza del clima laboral. La presente investigacion se corresponde con un estudio del clima laboral en Ecuador, donde ademas se incluye un analisis de su fuerza y de los aspectos de la cultura organizacional que mas lo afectan. Para ello se aplico una herramienta que se valido en el contexto de la investigacion, para medir diferencias en las percepciones del clima, asi como aspectos culturales asociados al mismo, en una muestra constituida por 832 trabajadores de organizaciones publicas y privadas. Los calculos se realizaron tomando en cuenta comparaciones de medias y modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Nuestros resultados indicaron que el clima laboral en Ecuador en terminos de fuerza puede considerarse como debil. Es de interes destacar que todas las dimensiones culturales identificadas correlacionaron de forma estadisticamente significativa y positiva con el clima, pero no con la fuerza. A partir de estos resultados, se elaboro un modelo de relaciones entre las variables de estudio con buenos indices de ajuste (CFI = 0.991, GFI = 0.983, RMSEA = 0.059, PCFI = 0.531, x 2 /df = 3.871). Como principales conclusiones destacamos que, al menos en el contexto de estudio, la variable fuerza va a estar directamente relacionada con el tipo de clima predominante y las acciones que se hagan para mejorarlo. Esto resulta esencial pues al existir un clima debil, van a haber consecuencias tanto al momento de su medicion como al momento de tomar decisiones para mejorarlo, debido a que existen percepciones diferentes en cada nivel de analisis del mismo, ya sea individual, grupal y organizacional.

Resumen La eclosion de Internet a nivel mundial ha facilitado la diseminacion de pornografia infantil, siendo esta considerada un crimen a escala internacional. Por ello, hemos considerado relevante analizar los aspectos culturales vinculados a este delito. El objetivo de la presente investigacion ha sido explorar los aspectos culturales incluidos en la literatura cientifica como variables clave para analizar este tipo de delitos, partiendo de las dimensiones culturales de Hofstede (2010) como marco teorico. Durante los anos 2003 a 2016 se han publicado un total de 125 articulos sobre pornografia en la Web of Science®, si bien solo 50 de ellos contenian referencias culturales implicitas o explicitas. Los resultados mostraron que son pocas las variables culturales consideradas, siendo el pais de nacimiento o la raza las principalmente incluidas. El principal resultado de nuestra investigacion constata la importancia de incorporar la dimension cultural en el trabajo policial al establecer los indicadores que determinan el factor de riesgo en agresores. En este sentido, en el contexto europeo, herramientas como la Kent Internet Risk Assessment Tool (KIRAT) se han visto enriquecidas a partir de los resultados de esta investigacion Abstract Due to the Internet expansion around the world, child pornography is internationally considered as a crime, but we are uncertain of whether culture has some impact on it. The objective of the present review was to explore cultural aspects included in literature as key variables to analyse this type of crimes, using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions (2010) as theoretical framework. A total of 125 papers on pornography (period: 2003-2016) were found in Web of Science®; but only 50 contain some implicit or explicit cultural references. The results showed few cultural variables considered for the scientific approach to child pornography, being the country of birth or race the mainly only ones considered. The major contribution of our research highlights the importance to incorporate the cultural dimension in the police task to assess the indicators that determine the risk factors in aggressors. In this sense, the present research contributes to hypothesize probable cultural differences when using tools as the Kent Internet Risk Assessment Tool (KIRAT) in the European context.

Resumen Con el objetivo de conocer el ajuste psicologico (sintomatologia y diagnostico clinico) y las destrezas para la resolucion de problemas (afrontamiento) en una poblacion de homicidas, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio en el que se contrastaron ambos factores entre una muestra de condenados por homicidio o tentativa de homicidio, con la poblacion normativa. Participaron en el estudio 27 hombres internos en el Centro Penitenciario de Oporto (Portugal), con una edad promedio de 38.63 anos. Para la medida del ajuste psicologico se acudio al SCL-90-R, mientras que el afrontamiento fue evaluado mediante el CRI-A. Los resultados revelaron que los reclusos mostraban una probabilidad superior de ser clasificados como casos clinicos en las dimensiones clinicas del SCL-90-R, a excepcion de Hostilidad, asi como puntuaciones significativamente mas elevadas en las dimensiones clinicas a excepcion de Hostilidad y Ansiedad Fobica, y en los tres indices globales (i.e., GSI, PST, PSDI). Ademas, la muestra de condenados se caracterizaba por acudir a estrategias de afrontamiento evitativas, que son reconocidas como formas desadaptativas o improductivas. Asimismo, del estudio de las caracteristicas delictivas se verifico que la mayoria de los acusados guardaban algun tipo de relacion previa con la victima, y que la muestra homicida se caracterizaba por versatilidad delictiva y tendencia a la reincidencia. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para la practica profesional en el contexto penitenciario. Abstract With the aim of knowing about psychological adjustment (clinical symptomatology and diagnosis) and problem-solving skills (coping) in a homicide prison inmate population, a study to contrast sentenced murderers or attempted murderers with the normative population was conducted. Participated in the research, 27 male prison inmates at the Prison of Oporto (Portugal) with an age average of 38.63. Psychological adjustment and coping strategies were measured with the SCL-90-R checklist and the CRI-A questionnaire, respectively. The results exhibited that prison inmates showed a higher probability of being classified as clinical cases in most of the SCL-90-R dimensions (except in Hostility), as well as significantly higher scores in almost all of them (with the exception of Hostility and Phobic Anxiety), an in the global indexes (i.e., GSI, PST, PSDI). Furthermore, prison inmates were characterized by using avoidance coping strategies, which are considered such as maladaptive or unproductive. Likewise, the results from the criminological characteristics of the inmates have revealed that homicides had a previous relationship with the victim, criminal versatility and a recidivism trend. Implications of the results for professional practice in penitentiary setting are discussed.
