Global Perspective on Marital Satisfaction
2020
Across the world, millions of couples get married each year. One of the strongest predictors of whether partners will remain in their relationship is their reported satisfaction. Marital satisfaction is commonly found to be a key predictor of both individual and relational well-being. Despite its importance in predicting relationship longevity, there are relatively few empirical research studies examining predictors of marital satisfaction outside of a Western context. To address this gap in the literature and complete the existing knowledge about global predictors of marital satisfaction, we used an open-access database of self-reported assessments of self-reported marital satisfaction wit…

Intervención temprana en niños con enfermedades crónicas
2005
Los objetivos de la atención temprana del niño enfermo crónico son los mismos que los de otros colectivos que requieren dicha atención: reducir los efectos de una deficiencia o déficit; optimizar el desarrollo del niño; introducir los mecanismos necesarios de compensación, de eliminación de barreras y adaptación a las necesidades específicas; evitar o reducir la aparición de efectos o déficits secundarios; atender y cubrir las necesidades y demandas de la familia; y considerar al niño como sujeto activo de intervención. En el caso de los niños con enfermedades crónicas, se requiere la colaboración de equipos interdisciplinares -medicina, psicología, y educación- , de modo que actúen coordin…
Cognitive reserve and cognitive performance of patients with focal frontal lesions
2017
The Cognitive reserve (CR) hypothesis was put forward to account for the variability in cognitive performance of patients with similar degrees of brain pathology. Compensatory neural activity within the frontal lobes has often been associated with CR. For the first time we investigated the independent effects of two CR proxies, education and NART IQ, on measures of executive function, fluid intelligence, speed of information processing, verbal short term memory (vSTM), naming, and perception in a sample of 86 patients with focal, unilateral frontal lesions and 142 healthy controls. We fitted multiple linear regression models for each of the cognitive measures and found that only NART IQ pre…
Psychological adjustment and victim-blaming among intimate partner violence offenders: The role of social support and stressful life events
2013
AbstractIntimate partner violence offenders often use victim-blaming attributions to explain their own violent behavior. These attributions represent an important challenge for intervention programs for intimatepartner violence offenders. The main objectives of this study were to analyze both the influence of social support and stressful life events on the psychological adjustment (self-esteem and depressive symptomatology) of intimate partner violence offenders and the relationship between offenders’ psychological adjustment and their victim-blaming attributions. The sample consists of 314 men convicted of intimate partner violence who were referred to a community-based intervention progra…
Data from an international multi-centre Study of Statistics and Mathematics Anxieties and Related Variables in University Students (the SMARVUS Datas…
2023
This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students from 100 universities in 35 countries, collected in 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear of negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, and the cognitive reflection test, and collected demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported and official statistics grades, and statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including testing links between anxieties and statistics/mathematics education factors, and examining instruments’ psychometric properties across differ…
Motor development and Down syndrome
2019
Abstract The chapter aims to analyze motor development in Down syndrome (DS) population. In the light of a holistic perspective to typical and atypical development, there is a renewed scientific interest on the role of motor skills to promote general health. A multidisciplinary approach, that involves findings from psychology, neuroscience, kinesiology and education is employed. Motor proficiency is a set of functions necessary for everyday life which allow moving around in the environment and manipulating tools; it's typically articulated into posture, gross motor and fine motor skills. Ample research highlighted a strong correlation among Intellectual Quotient and motor skills demonstrati…
Análisis preliminar de las propiedades psicométricas de un instrumento para evaluar las actitudes hacia la sexualidad de las personas con discapacida…
2021
La salud sexual de las personas con discapacidad física (PDF) no sólo se ve influenciada por las limitaciones derivadas de la propia discapacidad sobre todo a la hora de iniciar contactos sino también, y sobre todo, por la estigmatización social. Creencias como que poseer un cuerpo con una funcionalidad no normativa puede interferir en la conducta sexual y en su función reproductiva son muestras de ello. Así mismo, se ha comprobado que la familia y los profesionales que se proporcionan apoyos a las PDF son el principal agente de formación, por lo que sus actitudes hacia la sexualidad de este colectivo van a condicionar su desarrollo sexual y la vivencia que hagan de la misma. Dada la import…
Factorial Structure and Psychometric Properties of the Sensation Seeking Scale – Form V (SSS-V) in a Sample of Italian Adolescents
2013
The present study was designed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Sensation Seeking Scale – Form V (SSS-V) for the Italian-speaking population. The instrument was administered to 1,530 high school and college students. A second group of 268 high school students completed the SSS-V and the Impulsiveness Questionnaire (IVE). Exploratory factor analysis highlighted a 2-factor structure, Thrill and Adventure Seeking (TAS) and Disinhibition (Dis). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an adequate model fit. Internal consistency of the subscales was marginally supported using the alpha reliability measure. Convergent validity was supported by significant positive correlations between …
