espanolEste estudio investigo la estructura de conectividad entre los estilos de temperamento y los cinco grandes factores de la personalidad (Big Five) utilizando analisis de redes. Tambien se investigo la estabilidad temporal de los estilos de temperamento. Se recogieron dos muestras de participantes brasilenos, la primera para el analisis de red y la segunda para investigar la estabilidad de los estilos de temperamento. La primera muestra se compone de 149 adultos (57% mujeres) de 18 a 66 anos (M=32; DE=9.92), y la segunda de 88 individuos (56% mujeres) de 18 a 41 anos de edad, SD=5.79). Los instrumentos fueron el Inventario de Estilos de Personalidad de Adultos (IATS) y la Bateria de Factor de Personalidad (BFP). Los resultados confirmaron que los estilos de temperamento medidos por el IATS formaron redes con factores de personalidad medidos por el BFP. El analisis de la comunidad indico la presencia de cuatro grupos de personalidad. Las estimaciones de la fiabilidad test-retest fueron estadisticamente significativas (p≤1.0). En conclusion, los estilos de temperamento son estables y pueden ser concebidos como una red de rasgos asociados con la personalidad. EnglishThis study investigated the connectivity structure among temperament styles and Big Five personality factors using network analysis. The temporal stability of temperament styles was also investigated. This study utilized two samples of Brazilian participants, the first for the network analysis and the second to investigate the stability of temperament styles. The first sample consists of 149 adults (57% women) ages 18 to 66 (M=32; SD=9.92), the second of 88 individuals (56% women) ranging from 18 to 41 years-of-age (M=23; SD=5.79). Results confirmed that temperament styles measured by the Inventory of Adult Temperament Styles formed networks with personality factors measured by the BFP. Community analysis indicated the presence of four clusters. Estimates of test-retest reliability were statistically significant. In conclusion, temperament styles are stable and can be conceived as a network of traits associated with personality.

espanolEn este estudio se analiza la relacion entre la resiliencia, el optimismo disposicional y las dimensiones que constituyen el burnout academico (agotamiento emocional, cinismo y baja eficacia). Para ello, se evaluo a una muestra formada por 463 estudiantes de la Universidad de Leon. Se emplearon los siguientes instrumentos: Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (10-item CD-RISC) y Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R). Los resultados revelan que el burnout academico se relaciona significativamente con la resiliencia y el optimismo. Concretamente, la resiliencia se relaciona positivamente con la eficacia mientras que el optimismo se relaciona positivamente con la eficacia pero negativamente con el agotamiento. Ademas, la resiliencia predice la eficacia mientras que el optimismo predice el agotamiento. Sin embargo, el cinismo no se relaciona ni con la resiliencia ni con el optimismo. Por ultimo, se contemplan las implicaciones de los resultados obtenidos para el diseno de programas de prevencion del burnout academico en estudiantes universitarios. EnglishThis study analyses the relationship between resilience, dispositional optimism and academic burnout dimensions (exhaustion, cynicism and reduced academic efficacy). A sample of 463 students from Universidad de Leon was evaluated. The following assessment instruments were employed: Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (10-item CD-RISC) y Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R). The results showed that academic burnout is significantly related to resilience and optimism. In particular, resilience is significantly and positively related to efficacy whereas optimism is positively related to efficacy but negatively related to exhaustion. Moreover, it was found that resilience predicted efficacy while optimism predicted exhaustion. However, cynicism was no related to resilience nor to optimism. Finally, implications for prevention programs design are proposed.

School refusal behavior refers to the avoidance of a child attending school and/or persistent difficulty staying in the classroom throughout the school day. Based on a review of the scientific literature, the aim of this study is to describe the current state of research on school refusal, differentiating between the findings and progress made in Spain from those achieved in the international field. For this purpose, the significance of this phenomenon, in addition to associated risk factors and variables, will be reviewed in the child and youth population. In turn, the commonly used assessment methods and most recommended treatment proposals, mainly based on cognitive behavioral therapy, are discussed. The results reveal several gaps and subjects for debate in some areas of knowledge about school refusal behavior, with differences being found between Spanish and international studies. In conclusion, future studies and challenges in this field are required.

Attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuro-behavioural disorder with onset in childhood. These children have impaired emotional self-control, self-regulation of drive and motivation. Numerous studies have reported cognitive disabilities in memory, executive functions, spatial abilities and language skills. The main objective of this work is to determine whether a socio-emotional intervention programme could improve executive functions in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The sample of this study consisted of 25 children (8 female and 17 male) aged between 8 and 12 years, diagnosed with ADHD and who were not taking any psychopharmacological treatment at the time of the study, and had not taken medication previously. Executive functioning was assessed through the Zoo Map test and Tower of Hanoi puzzle in pre-/post-test design. A socio-emotional intervention programme was implemented. The training consisted of 8 one-hour weekly sessions, on an individual basis. Results indicate that such a programme does lead to improved performance in the execution of tasks that evaluate executive functions. After the intervention, the children took less time to resolve the Zoo Map test. Results for the Hanoi Tower puzzle were also improved after intervention. The children needed a lower number of movements to complete the task.
