Comparative validity of the ASSO - Food Frequency Questionnaire for the web-based assessment of food and nutrients intake in adolescents
2015
Background : A new web-based food frequency questionnaire (the ASSO–FFQ) was developed within the ASSO Project funded by the Italian Ministry of Health. Objective : The aim of the present study is to assess the validity of the ASSO–FFQ at food groups, energy, and nutrients level. Design and subjects : The validation study compared the ASSO–FFQ against a weighted food record (WFR) measuring foods, beverages and supplements intake, compiled during the week following the ASSO–FFQ administration. Ninety-two subjects aged 14–17, recruited from secondary schools in Palermo (Italy), completed the ASSO–FFQ and WFR. The intake of 24 food groups, energy, and 52 nutrients were taken as main outcomes. …
Attachment Styles and Suicide-Related Behaviors in Adolescence: The Mediating Role of Self-Criticism and Dependency
2017
Insecure attachment and the personality dimensions of self-criticism and dependency have been proposed as risk factors for suicide in adolescents. The present study examines whether self-criticism and dependency mediate the relationship between insecure attachment styles and suicidality. A sample of 340 high-school students (73.2% females), ranging in age from 13 to 20 years (M = 16.47, SD = 1.52), completed the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire for Adolescents, the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire for Adolescents, the Attachment Style Questionnaire, and the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised. The results partially support the expected mediation effects. Self-criticism, but not…
Validation of the Weight Bias Internalization Scale for Mainland Chinese Children and Adolescents
2021
Weight stigma internalization among adolescents across weight categories leads to adverse psychological consequences. This study aims to adapt and validate a Chinese version of the Weight Bias Internalization Scale for Mainland Chinese children and adolescents(C-WBIS). A total of 464 individuals aged 9 to 15 years participated in the present study. Based on item response theory (IRT) and classical test theory (CTT), we selected the items for the C-WBIS and evaluated its reliability and validity. The item response theory yields support for the one-dimensional factor mode. All item parameters fit the IRT model (albeit within an adequate range), eight items were adopted. No evidence of signifi…

En el primer apartado participó un grupo de 5 expertos, que valoró la suficiencia, claridad, coherencia y relevancia del instrum…
The influence of serotonin- and other genes on impulsive behavioral aggression and cognitive impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/hyperacti…
2008
Contains fulltext : 70708.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Low serotonergic (5-HT) activity correlates with increased impulsive-aggressive behavior, while the opposite association may apply to cognitive impulsiveness. Both types of impulsivity are associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and genes of functional significance for the 5-HT system are implicated in this disorder. Here we demonstrate the separation of aggressive and cognitive components of impulsivity from symptom ratings and test their association with 5-HT and functionally related genes using a family-based association test (FBAT-PC). METHODS: Our sample consisted of 1180 o…
Cognitive mechanisms underlying reading and spelling development in five European orthographies
2014
This paper addresses the question whether the cognitive underpinnings of reading and spelling are universal or language/orthography-specific. We analyzed concurrent predictions of phonological processing (awareness and memory) and rapid automatized naming (RAN) for literacy development in a
Consumo episódico intensivo de alcohol en jóvenes argentinos durante la realización de la previa
2015
En España existen estudios que demuestran que prácticas como el Botellón (concentración intermitente de de jóvenes en espacios abiertos con el objetivo principal de consumir alcohol, tras adquirir previamente la bebida en establecimientos) potencian un nuevo patrón de consumo de alcohol sobre todo en población juvenil (Cortés et al., 2007, 2008, 2010). Este patrón, llamado Consumo Episódico Intensivo de Alcohol (CEIA, o también Binge drinking, Consumo Concentrado de Alcohol, etc.) se caracteriza por la ingesta de grandes cantidades de alcohol durante pocas horas (Anderson y Baumberg, 2006; Farke y Anderson, 2007), esta forma de consumo ha ido expandiéndose a otras ciudades de América Latina…
Determinación de la edad de un extranjero indocumentado : A propósito de la sentencia de la audiencia provincial de barcelona, de 24 de enero de 2020
2021
In recent years, immigration of minors has increased, which means that administrations establish a differentiated treatment for this sector of immigration due to the fact that they are minors; There are many aspects to take into account in these cases, including verifying the minority age, a fact that is more complicated when it comes to adolescents. This is what is analyzed by the Judgment of the Provincial Court of Barcelona, of January 24, 2020, which confirms the Resolution of the General Directorate of Attention to Children and Adolescents, which agreed to the closure of the homelessness file and the admission of the plaintiff in a Protection Center until the verification of their pers…
L’educació des de la comunicació: més enllà de model instrumental en la pedagogia. La publicitat institucional com a eina d'aprenentatge escolar. Cod…
2015
En aquest vertiginós món de canvis que vivim, les tecnologies de la comunicació estan obrint nous horitzons en diversos àmbits de la vida i també, de manera especial, en el camp educatiu. La pedagogia, i més concretament la didàctica, ara té el repte de donar cos i entitat a pràctiques educatives que, a partir d’eines d’aprenentatge com la publicitat institucional, puguen facilitar la possibilitat de transmetre coneixement a l’alumnat que hui acudeix a les aules. En la capacitat comunicativa del discurs publicitari, conformat tant pels codis verbals com pels no verbals, rau aquesta possibilitat que el saber té de poder passar dels currículums escolars cap a la ment de l’alumnat. La intenció…
Violence against parents: key factors analysis
2014
La Fiscalía General del Estado español, en su memoria de octubre de 2009, destacó que la violencia filio-parental era el tipo penal más preocupante en adolescentes menores de edad por su incremento en prevalencia e incidencia. Por ello, es importante conocer algunas características de las familias que la sufren y de las hijas e hijos maltratadores. Para lograr dichos objetivos hemos realizado una revisión bibliométrica de análisis cualitativo en base a documentos y libros desde 1957 hasta 2011, de países como Australia, Japón, Canadá, Nueva Zelanda, Francia, E.E.U.U. o España principalmente, desde la cual se pretende conocer (a) qué es la violencia filio-parental, (b) el ciclo de este tipo …
