This affected mental health, increasing anxiety and worry about COVID-19 contagion. The aim of this study was assessing the moderation and mediation effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) on general anxiety and whether the mediation effect was moderated by gender and/or age. A total of 1753 Spanish adults (78,6% female; M = 40.4 years, SD = 12.9) participated in an online survey that was available from March 26 to April 25 (2020) during the time period in which the population in Spain was confined. Participa…

Sexism and Aggression in Adolescence.¿How Do They Relate to Perceived Academic Achievement?
2018
Sexist attitudes are rooted in patriarchal structures, which uphold traditional gender stereotypes, and which are still found in society today. Scholars have found gender differences in perceived academic achievement, with girls performing better than boys, and negative relationships between sexism and perceived academic achievement. Moreover, perceived academic achievement and sexist attitudes have been associated with aggression and different kinds of violence. This study examined the associations between sexist attitudes and perceived academic achievement (using self-report data). The study also assessed the mediating role of physical and verbal aggression in the relationship between sex…

2016
We examined the links between perceived parental use of social and material rewards and prosocial behaviors across youth from two countries. Six hundred forty adolescents (297 girls; [Formula: see text] age = 15.32 years) from Valencia, Spain, and 552 adolescents (321 girls; [Formula: see text] age = 13.38 years) from the United States completed measures of their perceptions of parental use of rewards, prosocial behaviors, and empathy. Results generally showed that perceived use of social rewards was directly and indirectly positively related to prosocial behaviors via empathic tendencies. In contrast, perceived use of material rewards was directly and indirectly negatively related to pros…
Development of Prosocial Behavior in Spanish Adolescents and Its Relations to Parenting Styles
2019
The goal of this chapter is to describe how parenting relates to prosocial development in Spanish adolescents. Although not a lot of work has been done on Spanish youth, the work that has been done has largely paralleled the work done on European American youth. We present evidence from a longitudinal study that examines how support and communication, psychological control, and permissiveness from both mothers and fathers change across adolescence and relate to prosocial behavior in a large sample of Spanish adolescents. Adolescent prosocial behavior was relatively stable. Both mothers and fathers became more permissive and supportive across adolescence, but less psychologically controlling…

Five hundred Spanish adolescents, of both sexes, participated in a three-wave longitudinal study in Valencia, Spain.

Examining the predictors of prosocial behavior in young offenders and nonoffenders
2021
Research on young offenders has primarily focused on identifying predictors of the maladaptive, aggressive behavior; there is a scarcity of evidence on factors that relate to prosocial behavior in these adolescents. The current study examined the link from parenting, emotional instability, and prosocial reasoning to prosocial behavior, while also examining the mediating roles of empathic concern (EC) and perspective taking (PT) in a sample of Spanish adolescent offenders compared to a sample of nonoffenders. Participants were 440 adolescents: 220 young offenders residing in four Youth Detention Centres of Valencia (67.3% men) and 220 enrolled in public and private schools within the metrop…

What should i do and who's to blame?
2022
The COVID-19 crisis has had a major impact on youth. This study examined factors associated with youth’s attitudes towards their government’s response to the pandemic and their blaming of individuals from certain risk groups, ethnic backgrounds, and countries or regions. In a sample of 5,682 young adults (Mage = 22) from 14 countries, lower perceived burden due to COVID-19, more collectivistic and less individualistic values, and more empathy were associated with more positive attitudes towards the government and less blaming of individuals of certain groups. Youth’s social identification with others in the pandemic mediated these associations in the same direction, apart from the COVID-19 …
El sexismo en la adolescencia. Factores psicosociales moduladores
2014
En las últimas décadas el estudio sobre el sexismo ha cobrado un gran protagonismo en la investigación en psicología y diversas investigaciones recientes lo avalan (Ferragut, Blanca, & Ortiz-Tallo, 2013; Garaigordobil, 2013; de Lemus, Moya, & Glick, 2010; Pozo, Martos, & Alonso-Morillejo, 2010). Prueba de ello es que se han generado diversas teorías, entre ellas la Teoría del Sexismo Ambivalente (Glick & Fiske, 1996, 1999), que se desarrollará de forma específica en el apartado siguiente. Al amparo de estas teorías han surgido diversos instrumentos para su evaluación, tanto en España (de Lemus, Castillo, Moya, Padilla, & Ryan, 2008; Moya y Expósito, 2001; Recio, Cuadrado, y Ramos, 2007), Ca…

Programa de educación de las emociones: la con-vivencia. Evaluación de su eficacia en la conducta prosocial
2014
La educación de las emociones se sitúa en el marco de la psicología positiva (Seligman, 2000). En el desarrollo humano las emociones juegan un papel fundamental, especialmente, como los patrones de respuesta y ejercen un importante valor adaptativo, personal y social (Fredickson, 2001). Una respuesta emocional adaptada ante las situaciones cotidianas facilita la comunicación tanto con uno mismo y como con los demás. Así, la estimulación de las emociones positivas contribuye al desarrollo de la personalidad y a una mayor calidad de las relaciones interpersonales, favoreciendo una conducta más adaptada y prosocial. Diferentes estudios empíricos constatan que, tanto determinadas emociones, com…
