Abstract The primary objective of this study was to analyze the direct explanatory power of social identity, schooling, and age on self-esteem, as well as the indirect effects of those variables (through the mediating variable self-esteem) on hope. A non-probabilistic sample composed of 657 persons from southern Nuevo Leon was recruited (mean age = 39.75 years; SD = 16.96). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the effects, both direct and indirect, of the independent variables upon the dependent variables. With regard to hope, the model yields an explained variance of 37% ( d ≥ 26% = large effect size) and shows well goodness-of-fit indices: χ2 / df = 2.618, GFI = .997, AFGI = .978, CFI = .995, NNFI = .995, NFI = .992, RMSEA = .048 (IC90%, .001, .100), and SRMR = .017. It is concluded that social identity, together with some contextual variables of a personal nature (for instance, age and schooling) is probably very important to explain the levels of self-esteem and hope Resumen El objetivo primario de este estudio fue analizar el poder explicativo de las variables identidad social, escolaridad y edad, directamente sobre la autoestima y los efectos indirectos de las tres primeras, a traves de la autoestima, sobre la esperanza. Se realizo el estudio en una muestra no probabilistica de 657 hombres y mujeres, con edad promedio de 39.75 anos ( DE = 16.96). Se uso modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales para analizar los efectos, tanto directos como indirectos, de las variables independientes sobre las dependientes. Se encuentra que el modelo tiene una varianza explicada del 37% ( d = ≥ 26% = tamano del efecto grande) en esperanza, con buenos indicadores de bondad de ajuste: χ 2/gl = 2.618; GFI = .997; AFGI = .978; CFI = .995; NNFI = .995; NFI = .992; RMSEA = .048 (IC90%, .000, .100), SRMR = .017. Se concluye que probablemente la identidad social, junto con algunas variables contextuales de tipo personal, como la edad y la escolaridad, es prioritaria para explicar la existencia de la autoestima y de la esperanza.

Abstract Response biases are issues in inventories in positive organizational psychology. The study aims to control the response bias in the assessment of meaning of work through two methods: reversed key items and forced-choice format. The sample consisted of 351 professionals; women constituted 60.0 % of the sample. The participants answered two versions of the instrument for meaning of work: Likert-type items and forced-choice. For both versions, the unifactorial model was the most appropriate for the data available. The results indicate that the random intercepts model fit the Likert data (CFI = .92), as well as the forced-choice model (CFI = .97). Besides, the latent dimension of the forced-choice version did not correlate with acquiescence index ( r .05), and approximately 20 % of the variance of the items might be due to the method (Likert or forced-choice). The present study illustrates the importance of response bias control in self-report instruments.

Ademas, la dimension latente de la version de eleccion forzada no se correlaciono con el indice de aquiescencia ( r .05), y aproximadamente el 20 % de la varianza de los items podria deberse al metodo (Likert o forzado). eleccion).

Resumen La investigacion de las psicopatologias del espectro externalizante ha tenido avances significativos desde modelos transdiagnosticos integradores. En el presente articulo se presenta un analisis de los avances y las direcciones de integracion, haciendo un enfasis particular en las principales variables y modelos teoricos considerados relevantes. En primer lugar, se resalta la importancia de una perspectiva dimensional espectral de los diagnosticos, segun sus mecanismos etiologicos y mantenedores comunes, no solamente a nivel sintomatico sino procesal. Entre las variables con mayor evidencia se presentan la disregulacion emocional y la rumiacion ira, ambas asociadas a la aparicion y modulacion de la respuesta agresiva reactiva y proactiva. Al finalizar, se propone la integracion de los aportes derivados de la teoria de la sensibilidad al refuerzo y los sistemas de dominancia conductual, en un modelo transdiagnostico integrador. Esta propuesta involucra los avances teoricos a nivel motivacional como la inhibicion y la activacion conductual, cuya capacidad explicativa permite comprender las dificultades relativas a la impulsividad, la psicopatia, y la autorregulacion emocional y conductual. Estos avances convergen en el marco de investigacion de criterio dominante, un verdadero avance en los estudios de la salud mental actual. Abstract Research on externalizing spectrum psychopathologies has had significant advances from integrative transdiagnostic models. This article analyzes the progress and directions of integration, with particular emphasis on the main variables and theoretical models considered relevant. First, the importance of a spectral dimensional perspective of the diagnoses is highlighted based on their common etiological mechanisms and maintainers, not only at the symptomatic level but also at the procedural level. Emotional dysregulation and anger rumination are among the variables with the most evidence, both associated with the appearance and modulation of the reactive and proactive aggressive response. In the end, the integration of the contributions derived from the theory of reinforcement sensitivity, and behavioral dominance systems is proposed in an integrative transdiagnostic model. This proposal involves theoretical advances at the motivational level, such as inhibition and behavioral activation, whose explanatory capacity allows understanding the difficulties related to impulsivity, psychopathy, and emotional and behavioral self-regulation. These advances converge in the dominant criterion research framework, a real breakthrough in current mental health studies.

ResumenA pesar de que el inventario de crecimiento postraumático (PTGI) es un instrumento ampliamente utilizado para evaluar los cambios positivos después de un trauma, su estructura factorial no ha sido consistente en las validaciones hechas al español. Actualmente, no se cuenta con evidencia del estudio de sus propiedades psicométricas en población mexicana, por lo que el propósito de este estudio fue contrastar la estructura factorial del PTGI y describir el perfil promedio de crecimiento postraumático en una muestra mexicana. Participaron 446 personas con edades de 18 a 77 años víctimas de distintos eventos traumáticos. Los resultados indicaron una solución unifactorial, la cual mostró adecuada bondad de ajuste y confiabilidad excelente (α = .94). De acuerdo al perfil de los participantes, se identificó un cambio promedio en el crecimiento, no encontrándose diferencias entre mujeres y hombres. El PTGI-MX se considera un instrumento con buenas propiedades psicométricas para evaluar el crecimiento después de un evento traumático en población mexicana.AbstractAlthough the post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI) is a widely used instrument to assess positive changes after trauma, its factor structure has not been consistent in the validations made in Spanish.

Resumen La presente investigacion se realiza en el campo de las lesiones en el deporte con el proposito de identificar su relacion con las habilidades psicologicas de ejecucion deportiva. Se realizo un estudio de 21 deportistas femeninas de alto rendimiento integrantes del equipo nacional cubano de Softbol a las que se les aplico el Cuestionario de Aspectos Deportivos y Lesiones y el Inventario Psicologico de Ejecucion Deportiva. Los resultados muestran un alto porcentaje de lesiones en las deportistas, cuyo perfil psicologico grupal se encuentra configurado por elevados niveles de Autoconfianza, Nivel Motivacional, Control de Afrontamiento Positivo y Control de la Actitud. Ademas se evidencia que las deportistas con menor autoconfianza, control emocional y de la actitud se han lesionado en mas oportunidades y han presentado lesiones de mayor gravedad respectivamente. Tambien se muestra que dentro del grupo de deportistas con antecedentes de lesiones existen diferencias estadisticamente significativas, ya que poseen valores medios inferiores de autoconfianza y control de afrontamiento negativo las que mas lesiones han sufrido. Se discuten los resultados. Abstract The present research is framed in the field of sports injuries, having as object of study its relation with the psychological skills of sports performance. A study of 21 high-performance female athletes members of the Cuban national softball team was carried out, to which the Sports Aspects and Injuries Questionnaire and the Psychological Inventory of Sports Execution were applied. The results show a high percentage of injuries in athletes, whose group psychological profile is configured by high levels of Self-Confidence, Motivational Level, Positive Coping Control and Attitude Control. It is also evidenced that athletes with less self-confidence, emotional control and attitude have been injured in more opportunities and have presented more serious injuries respectively. It is also shown that within the group of athletes with a history of injuries there are statistically significant differences, since they have lower average values of self-confidence and negative coping control those who have suffered the most injuries. The results are discussed.

AbstractPersonal values influence the behavior, feelings, and lives of individuals, but also, Internet use which penetration is expected it continues expanding all over the world. Values determine attitudes and behaviors of individuals and they also affect relationships people maintain with others and themselves. Furthermore, those relations are as well influenced by the adoption and usage of the internet, that is changing the way individuals interact and relate. So, both, values and internet use, impact on individuals Wellbeing (WB) perception. The present study analyses the influence of personal values on internet use and WB perception on a sample of 33.123 respondents of the European Social Survey (2016), 51% of female respondents and 47.9% male aged 15 and over, from different European countries. By this way, first, an Exploratory Factorial Analysis has been applied on data related to personal values, and four different profiles have been defined. Second, there have been individually analyzed and correlated the level of internet use and life satisfaction individuals report to analyze their influence on each profile. Finally, the interaction of both variables has been considered. When p-value is significative (p < 0.05) individual profile moderate relationship between internet use and life satisfaction. Results demonstrate personal values influence internet use and life satisfaction.ResumenLos valores personales influyen en el comportamiento, los sentimientos y la vida de las personas, pero tambien, el uso de Internet cuya penetracion se espera sigue expandiendose por todo el mundo. Los valores determinan las actitudes y los comportamientos de las personas, y tambien afectan las relaciones que las personas mantienen con los demas y con ellas mismas. Ademas, esas relaciones se ven influenciadas por la adopcion y el uso de Internet, lo que esta cambiando la forma en que las personas interactuan y se relacionan. Asi, tanto los valores como el uso de Internet, impactan en la percepcion del Bienestar (WB) de las personas. El presente estudio analiza la influencia de los valores personales en el uso de Internet y la percepcion del Bienestar en una muestra de 33123 encuestados de la Encuesta Social Europea (2016), 51 % de mujeres encuestadas y 47.9 % hombres de 15 y mas anos, de diferentes paises europeos. De esta forma, en primer lugar, se ha aplicado un Analisis Factorial Exploratorio sobre datos relacionados con los valores personales, y se han definido cuatro perfiles diferentes. En segundo lugar, se ha analizado y correlacionado individualmente el nivel de uso de Internet y la satisfaccion con la vida que reportan las personas para analizar su influencia en cada perfil. Finalmente, se ha considerado la interaccion de ambas variables. Cuando el valor p es significativo (p < .05), el perfil individual modera la relacion entre el uso de Internet y la satisfaccion con la vida. Los resultados demuestran que los valores personales influyen en el uso

Furthermore, those relations are as well influenced by the adoption and usage of the internet, that is changing the way individuals interact and relate. So, both, values and internet use, impact on individuals Wellbeing (WB) perception. The present study analyses the influence of personal values on internet use and WB perception on a sample of 33.123 respondents of the European Social Survey (2016), 51% of female respondents and 47.9% male aged 15 and over, from different European countries. By this way, first, an Exploratory Factorial Analysis has been applied on data related to personal values, and four different profiles have been defined. Second, there have been individually analyzed and correlated the level of internet use and life satisfaction individuals report to analyze their influence on each profile. Finally, the interaction of both variables has been considered. When p-value is significative (p < 0.05) individual profile moderate relationship between internet use and life satisfaction. Results demonstrate personal values influence internet use and life satisfaction.ResumenLos valores personales influyen en el comportamiento, los sentimientos y la vida de las personas, pero tambien, el uso de Internet cuya penetracion se espera sigue expandiendose por todo el mundo. Los valores determinan las actitudes y los comportamientos de las personas, y tambien afectan las relaciones que las personas mantienen con los demas y con ellas mismas. Ademas, esas relaciones se ven influenciadas por la adopcion y el uso de Internet, lo que esta cambiando la forma en que las personas interactuan y se relacionan. Asi, tanto los valores como el uso de Internet, impactan en la percepcion del Bienestar (WB) de las personas. El presente estudio analiza la influencia de los valores personales en el uso de Internet y la percepcion del Bienestar en una muestra de 33123 encuestados de la Encuesta Social Europea (2016), 51 % de mujeres encuestadas y 47.9 % hombres de 15 y mas anos, de diferentes paises europeos. De esta forma, en primer lugar, se ha aplicado un Analisis Factorial Exploratorio sobre datos relacionados con los valores personales, y se han definido cuatro perfiles diferentes. En segundo lugar, se ha analizado y correlacionado individualmente el nivel de uso de Internet y la satisfaccion con la vida que reportan las personas para analizar su influencia en cada perfil. Finalmente, se ha considerado la interaccion de ambas variables. Cuando el valor p es significativo (p < .05), el perfil individual modera la relacion entre el uso de Internet y la satisfaccion con la vida.

Resumen Realizar investigaciones cientificas resulta complejo para algunos estudiantes universitarios. Por este motivo se planteo como objetivo crear una escala que mida los obstaculos para investigar. Participaron 650 estudiantes que estaban realizando sus Trabajos Finales de Grado en la Universidad Tecnica de Machala-Ecuador. Se desarrollo un grupo inicial de 32 items basados en literatura previa. Basandonos en los resultados de la validacion de contenido se eliminaron siete items. Los resultados del analisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y confirmatorio (AFC) revelan que los items se estructuran en un modelo bifactorial de 24 items. En cuanto a la fiabilidad, la escala mostro un alfa de Cronbach y un coeficiente Omega de 0.92 indicando una alta consistencia interna. Se concluye que la escala presenta adecuadas propiedades psicometricas para medir los obstaculos para investigar en los estudiantes universitarios.

Nomination of students with high abilities is the first step to be able to start the process, giving way later to a diagnosis of high capacities and the proposal of educational response adapted to their capacities and needs. In the present study, the criteria of the parents are compared by qualitative methodology to consider that their son or daughter has high intellectual abilities, comparing the answers given by those who believed that their children had high intelligence (IQ score equal to or less than 116). against which the intelligence score of their children is higher than an IQ of 130. The answers have been analyzed with the software ALCESTE, which analyzes the co-occurrences by proximity, using the statistic Ji square. In both groups, three classes are given, with different contents, both coinciding in the ease of solving problems or reasoning, but while in the first group they are based on aspects more related to the teaching environment (detection by teachers or boredom), those of the group with the highest IQ are based on knowledge of their higher score and previous attendance at programs for outstanding. We conclude that it is important to inform the parent population about contrasting indicators of existence of high capacities.

Resumen Este trabajo aborda posibles respuestas a algunas de las preguntas que desconciertan en referencia al estatus de la investigacion en psicoterapia, particularmente desde una llamada a revisar la inadecuacion de una metafora raiz con fuertes vinculos con el modelo medico. Concretamente se centra en los debates sobre (a) la proliferacion de practicas psicoterapeuticas, (b) la ausencia de eficacia diferencial significativa y (c) los criterios de demarcacion entre terapias y pseudoterapias. Abstract This paper addresses possible answers to some of the puzzling questions regarding the status of psychotherapy research, particularly from a call to question the inadequacy of a root metaphor with strong links to the medical model. Specifically, it focuses on the debates on (a) the proliferation of psychotherapeutic practices, (b) the absence of significant differential efficacy and (c) the demarcation criteria between therapies and pseudotherapies
