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.

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.

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.

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.

espanolEl objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la eficacia diferencial de dos intervenciones para mejorar la calidad de vida de profesionales de atencion primaria de Mallorca: un programa de reduccion del estres basado en mindfulness (MBSRt) y un entrenamiento en cultivo de la compasion (CCT). Participaron 50 profesionales, el 81% de los cuales eran mujeres. Se evaluo mindfulness, empatia, auto-compasion y calidad de vida profesional. Los resultados mostraron efectos estadisticamente significativos de los programas para la mejora del mindfulness, la empatia, la auto-compasion y la calidad de vida profesional, con un efecto diferencial sobre dos dimensiones del mindfulness, actuar con autoconciencia y no reaccionar a la experiencia interna y la dimension de burnout de la calidad de vida profesional, en todos los casos a favor del entrenamiento MBSR. El estudio concluye que este tipo de intervenciones es adecuado para la mejora de las variables senaladas, con mayor eficacia de los programas MBSR en este tipo de participantes.

Results showed statistically significant effects of the programs on the improvement of mindfulness, self-compassion, and professional quality of life, and differential effects on two dimensions of mindfulness, acting with awareness and non-reacting to inner experience, and on the dimension of burnout of the professional quality of life, in all the cases favoring the MBSRT group. The study concludes that this type of interventions is adequate to improve the aforementioned variables, with better efficacy of the MBSRT for this type of participants.

espanolLas estrategias para reducir la violencia contra la mujer en las relaciones de pareja pueden dirigirse a diferentes objetivos. Los programas de intervencion para agresores de pareja son uno de los principales acercamientos para su tratamiento. El resultado mas utilizado para la evaluacion de la efectividad de estos programas es la reincidencia. Los esfuerzos para incrementar la efectividad de los programas de intervencion para agresores de pareja en reducir la reincidencia deberian centrarse en las variables predictoras clave de este resultado. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los predictores clave de la reincidencia oficial a partir de un amplio conjunto de variables obtenidas a partir de una muestra de hombres participando por mandato judicial en un programa de intervencion para agresores de pareja (N = 393), con un periodo de seguimiento de entre 0 y 69 meses. Con este objetivo, se realizo un analisis de supervivencia utilizando cuatro conjuntos de variables: variables individuales, variables relacionales y contextuales, variables relativas a la violencia y variables relativas al proceso de intervencion. Para incluir simultaneamente todas las variables en el analisis, se estimo un modelo de regresion de Cox utilizando ALASSO (adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator). De un conjunto de ochenta y nueve variables, seis fueron seleccionadas como predictores clave: abandono del programa, riesgo de violencia futura contra otras personas, exposicion a violencia familiar, estatus de inmigrante, acumulacion de eventos vitales estresantes e ira rasgo. El area bajo la curva ROC (receiving operator characteristic) fue .808, indicando una buena prediccion del modelo. Los predictores clave de la reincidencia identificados en este estudio deberian ser considerados por los profesionales e investigadores en el ambito de la intervencion con agresores de pareja para mejorar sus estrategias de evaluacion e intervencion.

Batterer intervention programs (BIPs) are among the main treatment approaches for IPVAW offenders. The most common outcome used in the evaluation of BIP effectiveness is recidivism. Efforts to increase BIP effectiveness in reducing recidivism should focus on key predictive variables of this outcome. The aim of this study was to identify key predictors of official recidivism from a large set of variables drawn from a sample of IPVAW offenders court-mandated to a community-based BIP (N = 393), with a follow-up period of between 0 and 69 months. To this end, a survival analysis was conducted using four sets of variables: individual-level, relational- and contextual-level, violence-related, and intervention process-related variables.

Los predictores clave de la reincidencia identificados en este estudio deberian ser considerados por los profesionales e investigadores en el ambito de la intervencion con agresores de pareja para mejorar sus estrategias de evaluacion e intervencion. Asimismo, se discuten las implicaciones practicas para futuras investigaciones. EnglishStrategies to reduce intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) can be targeted at different levels. Batterer intervention programs (BIPs) are among the main treatment approaches for IPVAW offenders. The most common outcome used in the evaluation of BIP effectiveness is recidivism. Efforts to increase BIP effectiveness in reducing recidivism should focus on key predictive variables of this outcome. The aim of this study was to identify key predictors of official recidivism from a large set of variables drawn from a sample of IPVAW offenders court-mandated to a community-based BIP (N = 393), with a follow-up period of between 0 and 69 months. To this end, a survival analysis was conducted using four sets of variables: individual-level, relational- and contextual-level, violence-related, and intervention process-related variables. To include all variables in the analysis simultaneously, a Cox regression model was estimated w","PeriodicalId":51641,"journal":{"name":"Psychosocial Intervention","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46943052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

El ciberacoso escolar suscita una creciente preocupacion social en la comunidad cientifica y en la sociedad en general. Las consecuencias del mismo en la victima son muy serias: se han encontrado numerosos indicadores de desajuste social, entre los cuales destaca la ideacion suicida. Desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo principal de este trabajo ha sido analizar las relaciones entre la cibervictimizacion y la ideacion suicida en adolescentes victimas de ciberacoso escolar a traves de las variables de desajuste psicosocial de soledad, sintomatologia depresiva, estres percibido y malestar psicologico. En esta investigacion participaron 1,062 adolescentes (547 chicos y 515 chicas), con un rango de edad que oscila entre los 12 y 18 anos (M = 14.51, DT = 1.62). El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales mostro que la cibervictimizacion se relaciona directa e indirectamente con la ideacion suicida. Las relaciones indirectas mostraron tener un efecto mas elevado sobre la ideacion suicida que los efectos directos de la cibervictimizacion. Se discute la relevancia de estos resultados para la investigacion cientifica, asi como sus implicaciones para futuros trabajos cientificos.

Research has highlighted that drop-out from youth sport has emerged to become a global trend with drop-out rates exceeding 30% in some countries. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a change in perceived support on intentions to drop out from youth sport at the end of a social support intervention. A pre-intervention examination of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in 2012 identified a 19.38% drop-out rate involving 3,491 participants between the ages of 12-16 years. A psychosocial intervention developed for the GAA called the Super Games Centre was delivered and evaluated over a 24-week period to 103 participants. The findings demonstrated that higher perceived available support was significantly associated with lower levels of intentions to drop out at the end of the intervention. Furthermore, social identity emerged as a significant mediating factor in explaining the association between changes in perceived support and intentions to drop out. A post-intervention examination in 2018 found that the GAA had established 95 Super Games Centres since 2015, and this has led to an increase in 7,012 new participants between the ages of 12-16 years. Future research and implications for social support intervention methodology are discussed.
