espanolRESUMEN La implicacion de las figuras parentales en la educacion de sus hijos e hijas, incluyendo las actividades llevadas a cabo en el hogar, y una buena relacion familia-escuela, contribuye al rendimiento academico de los ninos y las ninas. Este estudio evalua la viabilidad de la implementacion del programa Incredible Years® School Readiness (IY-SR), su aceptacion por parte de las familias y de los maestros y las maestras, su impacto en la relacion familia-escuela y los resultados preliminares de su efectividad. Treinta y dos figuras parentales con hijos e hijas en guarderia o en escuela infantil fueron captadas en ocho centros. Los dinamizadores y las figuras parentales mostraron una respuesta positiva hacia el programa y la asistencia de las familias a este fue alta. Ademas, se incremento el uso de elogios por parte de las figuras parentales y las respuestas positivas de sus hijos e hijas. Este es el primer estudio que demuestra la viabilidad de involucrar a los centros educativos en la implementacion del programa IY-SR como medio para promover la relacion familia-escuela y capacitar a las figuras parentales para fomentar las competencias de sus hijos e hijas en su preparacion para la escuela. EnglishABSTRACT Parental involvement in their children's education, including activities undertaken by parents at home and through strong links with their children's schools, contributes to children's academic attainment. This study examined whether it was feasible for school-based staff to deliver the Incredible Years® School Readiness parent programme (IY-SR) in schools, its acceptability to parents and teachers, its impact on home-school relationships, and preliminary programme impact. Thirty-two parents with a child in a nursery or reception class were recruited from eight schools. Group leaders and parents gave positive feedback about the programme and parental attendance on the programme was high. There were also significant increases in parents' use of praise and children's positive responses. This is the first study to demonstrate the feasibility of engaging schools to deliver the IY-SR programme as a means of promoting home-school relationships and providing parents with the skills to coach their children's school readiness skills.

espanolRESUMEN Con las tecnologias de la informacion y la comunicacion (TIC) y su influencia en la socializacion, los jovenes han incorporado un instrumento mas para ejercer comportamientos controladores en sus relaciones de pareja. Esta investigacion pretende analizar la influencia de algunas variables que afectan a la percepcion social de estos comportamientos controladores, como el rol del participante en el escenario (protagonista vs. observador u observadora) y el medio de control utilizado (cara a cara vs. WhatsApp), considerando el efecto de las variables ideologicas: aceptabilidad de la violencia, sexismo y mitos del amor romantico. Se llevaron a cabo dos estudios: un primer estudio con mujeres (n = 224) y uno segundo con hombres (n = 120), todos ellos estudiantes universitarios. Los principales resultados indicaron que tanto mujeres como hombres observan comportamientos controladores en otras parejas de su edad, aunque pocos reconocen sufrir o ejercer estos comportamientos en sus relaciones. Asimismo, se encuentra que el rol que se ocupa en el escenario y las variables ideologicas (sexismo ambivalente, aceptabilidad de la violencia y mitos sobre el amor romantico) influyen en la percepcion social de la violencia en la pareja, si bien no se encontro influencia del medio de control. Estos hallazgos constituyen una aportacion a la literatura existente, poniendo en evidencia que los comportamientos controladores ejercidos a traves de los medios tecnologicos son aceptados y normalizados entre los jovenes y las jovenes.

espanolRESUMEN La necesidad de nuevos enfoques de intervencion para la prevencion de la violencia en el noviazgo (VN) deriva de las limitaciones de los programas existentes para lograr cambios conductuales. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue examinar el efecto de una intervencion breve –de una sesion– dirigida a promover una teoria incremental de la personalidad, sobre la perpetracion (PVN) y victimizacion (VVN) de violencia en el noviazgo. Se realizo un ensayo clinico aleatorizado doble ciego con dos grupos paralelos (experimental vs. control). Los participantes fueron 123 adolescentes (53,7% mujeres, Medad = 15.20, DT = 0.99). Las medidas de evaluacion se administraron una semana antes de la intervencion, seis meses despues de la intervencion y un ano despues de la intervencion. Los resultados de los modelos lineales jerarquicos mostraron que la interaccion entre el tiempo y la condicion fue estadisticamente significativa para la PVN, mostrando una disminucion significativa tanto en el abuso tradicional como en el ciberacoso en la pareja en la condicion experimental. La intervencion no tuvo ningun efecto para la VVN. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que la intervencion disminuye la perpetracion de actos agresivos hacia la pareja y apoyan la idea de que las estrategias dirigidas a prevenir conflictos entre iguales pueden tambien prevenir la PVN. El incremento de evidencia empirica sobre la eficacia de una intervencion autoaplicable de una hora de duracion es de gran relevancia para avanzar en la prevencion de la VN. EnglishABSTRACT New intervention approaches are required for dating violence (DV) prevention, given the limited results of existing programs in achieving behavioral changes. The main objective of this study was to explore the effect of a brief, single-session intervention aimed at promoting an incremental theory of personality (ITP) on dating violence perpetration (DVP) and dating violence victimization (DVV). A double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two parallel groups (experimental vs. control) was conducted. Participants were 123 adolescents (53.7% females, Mage = 15.20, SD = 0.99). Assessment measures were administered one week prior to the intervention, and six months and one year after the intervention. The results of the hierarchical linear models showed that the interaction between time and condition was statistically significant for DVP, showing a significant decrease both in traditional and cyber dating abuse in the experimental condition. The ITP intervention had no effect on DVV. Our findings suggest that the ITP intervention decreases the perpetration of aggressive acts toward the dating partner and support the idea that strategies aimed at preventing peer conflict may also prevent DVP. Increasing our empirical evidence about the efficacy of a one-hour self-applied intervention is of great relevance for moving forward in the prevention of DV.

Sin embargo, ha habido escasa confirmacion de estos hallazgos a nivel internacional. El estudio actual evalua el impacto de la mentoria por parte de estudiantes universitarios capacitados en autoestima y conexion escolar de los ninos en comparacion con los companeros de escuela que no participaron en el programa. Mentor-UP es un programa de mentoria semanal llevado a cabo en la escuela y la comunidad que se implemento en el norte de Italia durante un periodo de siete meses. Los participantes (209 estudiantes, 34 en el grupo experimental y 175 en el grupo de comparacion de edades comprendidas entre 11 y 13 anos, 56% hombres, 27% inmigrantes) informaron de su nivel de autoestima y conexion escolar al principio y al final del programa. Los resultados mostraron un aumento significativo en la autoestima de los ninos mentorizados en comparacion con el grupo de control, mientras que la diferencia en la conexion escolar no fue significativa. Los hallazgos respaldan la efectividad de Mentor-UP para fomentar la autoestima de los jovenes. EnglishABSTRACT Research in the United States has shown that youth mentoring is a promising strategy for increasing self-esteem and school connectedness in at-risk youth. There has been little confirmation of those findings internationally. The current study evaluates the impact of mentoring by trained university students on children’s self-esteem and school connectedness compared to schoolmates not involved in the program. Mentor-UP is a school- and community-based weekly mentoring program implemented in northern Italy over a period of seven months. Participants (209 students – 34 in the experimental group and 175 in the comparison group – aged between 11 and 13, 56% male, 27% immigrants) reported their levels of self-esteem and school connectedness at the beginning and at the end of the program. Results showed a significant increase in mentees’ self-esteem compared to the control group, while the difference in school-connectedness was nonsignificant. The findings support the effectiveness of Mentor-UP in nurturing youth’s self-esteem.

Research has examined the psychological benefits of fiction, particularly for socio-cognitive and interpersonal processes, but has yet to examine whether it can have an impact on individuals’ personal well-being in a natural setting over time. A longitudinal randomized control trial (RCT) using audiobooks was conducted to compare the effects of fiction (novels, short stories) and non-fiction on the well-being (subjective, eudaimonic, social) of 94 older adults from diverse urbancommunities over a six-week period. Participants chose one of four books in the condition to which they were allocated. The participants in the fiction, compared to non-fiction, conditions did not show greater improvements in any aspect ofwell-being over the study period. However, regression analysis controlling for initial levels of well-being showed that individuals who reported greater absorption in, and appreciation of, their audiobook showed greater subsequent wellbeing, particularly meaning in life, that extended beyond book completion. The findings indicate that an audiobook can have a positive enduring impact on various aspects of older adults’ well-being, but it depends on them having a personalengagement with its content, and not on its designation as fiction or non-fiction.

espanolLos objetivos de esta investigacion son analizar la relacion del consumo de sustancias con el estilo de crianza de los padres y la percepcion de eficacia academica por parte de los adolescentes, estudiar la diferente contribucion de estos factores a la prediccion del consumo de sustancias en la adolescencia y observar la funcion de la autoeficacia academica en la relacion entre el estilo de crianza y el consumo de sustancias en la adolescencia. Participaron 762 adolescentes (53% hombres), de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 16 anos (M = 13.66, DT = 1.34). La muestra se selecciono con criterios probabilisticos por conglomerados, atendiendo al tipo de centro (educacion secundaria, publico frente a privado/ concertado) y ubicacion en diferentes zonas de la ciudad de Valencia, para atender distintos estratos sociales familiares. Los resultados indican que en comparacion con la adolescencia temprana, en la adolescencia media aumenta el consumo de sustancias y la negligencia de los padres, ademas de disminuir el apoyo y la comunicacion familiar junto con la eficacia academica percibida. El consumo de sustancias esta relacionado positivamente con la negligencia, el control psicologico y el rechazo por parte de los padres. La negligencia y el control psicologico actuan como variables moderadoras, pero solo el control psicologico actua como variable mediadora entre la eficacia academica y el consumo de sustancias. EnglishThis study examines (i) the relationships between substance use and parenting style and between substance use and perceived academic self-efficacy in early and middle adolescence, (ii) the importance of these factors in predicting adolescent substance use, and (iii) the role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between parenting styles and adolescent substance use. The sample comprised 762 adolescents (53% boys) aged 12 to 16 years (M = 13.66, SD = 1.34). The sample was selected using probabilistic cluster sampling according to type of school (secondary, public vs. semiprivate) and school location in different areas of the city of Valencia (Spain). This approach accounted for different social strata of families. The results show that substance use and parents’ neglect are greater in middle adolescence than in early adolescence. Support and family communication and perceived academic self-efficacy are lower. Substance use is positively related to parents’ neglect, psychological control, and rejection. The relationships between neglect and psychological control and substance use are moderated by academic self-efficacy, and the relationship between psychological control and substance use is mediated by academic self-efficacy

espanolThis study analysed the effect of length of residence and place of origin on the social inclusion of immigrants. Social support, resilience, sense of community, and satisfaction with life were used as indicators of social inclusion. Previous studies on social inclusion of immigrants were predominantly of static nature. A synthetic cohort design that examines temporal effects in distinct cohorts was used to analyse the effect of time on levels of social inclusion. It was hypothesised that place of origin would moderate the positive effect of length of residence. The study was conducted in Malaga (Spain). The participants consisted of 2,374 immigrants from Africa (597), East Europe (565), Latin America (652), and Asia (560). The results suggest that length of residence has a positive effect on social inclusion and that shorter cultural distance facilitates the process of social inclusion, especially among Latin American immigrants. However, the moderating effects of place of origin only reached statistical significance for satisfaction with life. A multidimensional and dynamic approach is needed to fully understand the process involved in the social inclusion of immigrants. This is based on the assumption that the positive effect of length of residence is not linear in the short term but manifests over the long term. EnglishSe analizan los efectos del tiempo de residencia y la procedencia en la inclusion social de los inmigrantes. El apoyo social, la resiliencia, el sentido de comunidad y la satisfaccion vital se utilizan como indicadores de inclusion social. Estudios previos sobre la inclusion social de los inmigrantes se caracterizan por su naturaleza estatica. A traves de un diseno de cohorte sintetico se comprueba si el tiempo favorece la inclusion social. Se propone que la procedencia modera la influencia positiva del tiempo de residencia. El estudio se realiza en Malaga y participan 2,374 inmigrantes procedentes de Africa (597), Europa del Este (565), Latinoamerica (652) y Asia (560). Los resultados muestran que el tiempo de residencia influye de forma positiva incrementando las dimensiones de inclusion social y la cercania cultural favorece el proceso de inclusion social, especialmente en los inmigrantes latinos, aunque los efectos moderadores de la procedencia han sido solo significativos para la satisfaccion vital. Los hallazgos sugieren adoptar un enfoque multidimensional y dinamico para comprender el proceso de inclusion social de los inmigrantes, asumiendo que el efecto positivo del tiempo de residencia no es lineal a corto plazo, sino que se manifiesta a largo plazo.

espanolDesde hace algunos anos los estudiosos han venido explorando algunas de las consecuencias negativas que la rapida incorporacion de los telefonos inteligentes en nuestra vida ha tenido en el bienestar psicosocial de los usuarios. La mayoria de los estudios empiricos hasta la fecha son de corte transversal y se realizan con participantes de muestras de conveniencia, lo que ha sido una limitacion en este campo. En este estudio evaluamos la evolucion durante tres anos de la adiccion a telefonos inteligentes y el apoyo social en 241 usuarios espanoles de una muestra nacional representativa. Los resultados del analisis del modelado del crecimiento y modelado de la mezcla de crecimiento indican que ambas trayectorias estan interconectadas: a medida que aumenta la adiccion aumenta el apoyo social. Ademas, los altos niveles de adiccion y los niveles relativamente bajos de apoyo se mantuvieron estables en el tiempo en un grupo de usuarios. Los usuarios de este grupo de elevada adiccion representarian una tendencia en la sociedad digital caracterizada por mayores indices de soledad y dependencia tecnologica. EnglishFor some years now, scholars have been exploring some of the negative consequences for the psychosocial well-being of users that the rapid incorporation of smartphones into our lives has caused. Most of the empirical studies to date are cross-sectional and are carried out with participants from convenience samples, which has been a limitation in this field. In this study, we evaluated the evolution over three years of smartphone addiction and social support in 241 Spanish users of a representative national sample. The results of the analysis of latent growth and growth mixture modeling indicate that both trajectories are interconnected: the more addiction decreases, the more social support increases. In addition, high levels of addiction and relatively low levels of support remained stable over time in a group of users. Users of this high-addiction group would represent a trend in the digital society characterized by higher rates of loneliness and technological dependence.

espanolLos conflictos que surgen en las relaciones de pareja pueden ser una de las mayores causas de sufrimiento cuando no se afrontan idoneamente. A traves de dos estudios, esta investigacion analiza el efecto diferencial del genero asi como la influencia de la inteligencia emocional en el afrontamiento de los conflictos de pareja y sus consecuencias a nivel individual y relacional. En el estudio 1 se examina la existencia de diferencias de genero en el afrontamiento de conflictos a traves de 4 muestras independientes de sujetos (N = 727). Tras metaanalizar los resultados de las mismas se observa que las mujeres responden de manera mas expresiva y leal ante los conflictos, mientras que los hombres emplean una respuesta mas negligente. En el estudio 2 (N = 185) se comprueba como la inteligencia emocional se convierte en un factor clave al promover el afrontamiento constructivo de conflictos adoptado tanto por mujeres como por hombres, lo que favorece tanto su bienestar psicologico como la satisfaccion con la relacion. Esta investigacion muestra la importancia de las habilidades emocionales ante los conflictos que se originan en los contextos mas intimos, como son las relaciones de pareja, y sus consecuencias tanto en hombres como en mujeres. EnglishConflicts that arise in romantic relationships can be one of the greatest causes of suffering when they are not faced appropriately. Through two studies, this research analyses the differential effect of gender and the influence of emotional intelligence on conflict-facing responses, as well as their consequences at an individual and relationship level. In Study 1, we examined the existence of gender differences during conflicts through four independent samples of subjects (N = 727). After meta-analysing the results, we observed that women responded more expressively and loyally to conflict, while men had a more negligent response. In our observations in Study 2 (N = 185), emotional intelligence became a key factor in promoting a constructive response to face conflicts that is adopted by both women and men. Moreover, emotional intelligence finally favours their psychological well-being and satisfaction with the relationship. This research shows the importance of emotional skills in confronting conflicts that originate in intimate contexts such as romantic relationships and their consequences to both men and women.
