Designing food packaging for the Spanish market: Do motivations differ between involved and non-involved adolescents?
2018
Abstract This paper investigates the relationships among food choice motivations and the relevance of packaging elements (visual and informative elements) in the adolescent market. In addition, these relationships are re-tested in two different frameworks: high-involved consumers and low-involved consumers. 590 young consumers between 13 and 17 years were interviewed at the door of their public or private schools. Structural Modelling was used to test our hypotheses. The first analysis was done considering the global sample. The second one split off the sample into two groups: 351 high-involved adolescents and 239 low-involved adolescents. Our results showed, on one side, that weight contro…
Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Metabolic Outcomes in Pregnant Women: Evidence from the Spanish INMA Birth Cohorts
2017
BACKGROUND: Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) may increase risk for metabolic diseases; however, epidemiologic evidence is lacking at the present time. Pregnancy is a period of enhanced tissue plasticity for the fetus and the mother and may be a critical window of PFAS exposure susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the associations between PFAS exposures and metabolic outcomes in pregnant women. METHODS: We analyzed 1,240 pregnant women from the Spanish INMA [Environment and Childhood Project (INfancia y Medio Ambiente)] birth cohort study (recruitment period: 2003-2008) with measured first pregnancy trimester plasma concentrations of four PFASs (in nanograms/milliliter). We u…

La novela de investigación de escritor : representaciones de la ambigüedad en la narrativa hispánica contemporánea (2001-2012)
2013
La investigación narrativa, en relación con el trabajo de escritura y con las motivaciones éticas del escritor, es un motivo recurrente en las letras hispánicas de la primera década del siglo XXI, que tiene sus precedentes en los años 90 y que recoge la estética y las tendencias de los años precedentes. En efecto, esta nueva investigación ha acudido como procedimiento vertebrador, retomando múltiples recursos discursivos y combinándolos en una fórmula que se ha convertido en signo de su época, a aquellos géneros populares que de los años 80 y a aquellas tendencias que llegan al cambio de siglo: la novela negra, la novela histórica, la novela de no-ficción, la novela de metaficción y autofic…
Los contextos del uso de marihuana en Latinoamérica y culturas juveniles urbanas en México
2005
La intención de éste trabajo es dar cuenta de los contextos sociales, políticos y cultu¬rales de América Latina, especialmente el caso de México, con respecto a la situación de la producción y el consumo de la marihuana. Se trabaja la hipótesis teórica de que los contextos nos ayudan a comprender las distintas prácticas sociales con su diversi¬dad de sentidos y significados que generan los usuarios y los públicos consumidores de este bien no sólo material sino desde su valor simbólico teniendo como referente los movimientos sociales. Dentro de los públicos usuarios nos interesa enfatizar al sector de los jóvenes, es decir, a las culturas juveniles urbanas o a las adscripciones identitarias …
A Validation Study of the Spanish Version of the Hypersexual Behavior Inventory (HBI): Paper-and-Pencil Versus Online Administration.
2019
Hypersexuality is a problematic behavior characterized by the combination of an excessive sexual desire and the pathological inability to control it. This study presents the psychometric properties of the Spanish paper-and-pencil and online versions of the Hypersexual Behavior Inventory (HBI), one of the most popular scales to assess this issue. 2250 participants (1070 men) completed a translated version of the HBI (1450 in paper-and-pencil; 800 online). The EFA yielded three factors that explained 67.53% of total variance for the HBI paper-and-pencil version. This factor structure was confirmed in the HBI online version through CFA. Factorial, structural, scalar and error variance invarian…
Cybersex Addiction: A Study on Spanish College Students
2016
The aim of this study was to determine type and frequency of online sexual practices among Spanish college students, prevalence of risk and pathological cybersex use profiles, and correlates/predictors of this behaviour. Participants were 1,557 males and females between 18 and 25 years old. Results showed that cybersex use is not as frequent as that documented in other Western countries. However, a significant percentage of participants with a risky (9%) or pathological (1.7% in men and 0.1% in women) profile was identified. Finally, we found a set of variables that, in interaction with gender, explains 58% of the variance for cybersex addiction scores.
Contextual Factors Related to Alcohol Abuse Among Intimate Partner Violence Offenders.
2016
The association between alcohol consumption and intimate partner violence (IPV) has been reiterated in numerous studies. Some authors have found higher levels of risk factors in intimate partner violence offenders (IPVOs) with alcohol problems than in IPVOs without such problems.The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship of contextual variables with harmful alcohol use in a sample of IPVOs.This cross-sectional research analyzes data from 231 IPVOs. In addition to demographic data, information was collected on alcohol use, ethnicity, accumulation of stressful life events and perceived social support and rejection. The sample was divided into hazardous and nonhazardous alcohol users…
