Emoción expresada y carga del cuidador en familiares de pacientes con Trastorno de la Personalidad Límite

2017

TEMA El papel de la familia ha sido siempre objeto de estudio en relación a la psicopatología, lo que nos ha permitido avanzar en la definición, medición y entendimiento de los factores familiares implicados en el curso y evolución de los trastornos mentales graves y enfermedades de curso crónico. La Emoción Expresada (EE) (Brown, Birley y Wing, 1972; Brown y Rutter, 1966) que manifiestan los familiares es uno de los factores más estudiados, evidenciando su influencia en el curso de trastornos mentales graves, tales como, Trastornos afectivos (Ellis et al., 2014), Trastornos alimentarios (Anastasiadou, Medina-Pradas, Sepúlveda y Trerasure; 2014), así como, en Trastorno de personalidad límit…

Fairness behavior in an economic crisis environment: a Romanian experimental perspective

2012

Abstract In the context of the current prolonged economic crisis, we were wondering if the typical behaviour of Romanians in terms of their ‘fairness’ has suffered any modification. This study is trying to identify the effect of psychological pressure created by the economic crisis on fairness using the Ultimatum Game. We aim to look at the question if this hypothetical phenomenon applies mostly to people who use economic information in their day-to-day life (e.g., economic science students) or if it also affects different populations (e.g., psychology students). Another aim is to understand if any difference is influenced mainly by vocational personalities as Holland hs described.

What determines the willingness to sanction violations of newly introduced social norms: Personality traits or economic preferences? evidence from th…

2021

Abstract Social norms govern human behavior and usually change slowly over time. While individuals’ willingness to sanction others is decisive for the enforcement of social norms and thus social stability, little is known about individual sanctioning behavior related to newly introduced social norms. During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments have used various tools to rapidly and actively introduce the new norm of wearing a face mask; this offers a unique setting to study the determinants of individuals’ willingness to sanction a cooperation norm. In a nationwide online survey in Germany, we find that higher levels of conscientiousness and neuroticism, but none of the economic preferences (…

Is Age Just a Number? Cognitive Reserve as a Predictor of Divergent Thinking in Late Adulthood

2016

The purpose of the study was to test a model of causal relationships among cognitive reserve (CR), personality variables such as Neuroticism and Openness to experience, and divergent thinking (DT), independently evaluating performance in different domains (verbal and graphic). It was hypothesized that CR, Openness, and Neuroticism would each directly influence verbal and graphic DT. A total of 135 subjects between 55 and 84 years old participated in the study and were interviewed in individual sessions. For a correct fit Neuroticism was eliminated from the measurement model. The goodness-of-fit indexes of the measurement model, the adequate composite reliability index and the discriminant v…

Visual Field defects, type A personality,anxiety and coping style in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.

2012

Classification of glaucomatous visual field defects for different severity levels is important. The reasons for this are numerous, and include: to distinguish between healthy and diseased individuals, to have homogeneous grouping criteria when perimetry is used to define the severity of glaucoma, to adjust therapy on the basis of disease severity, to describe visual field conditions in a short and simple format, to monitor the progression of the disease, and to provide a common language for both clinical and research purposes. Many severity classification methods have been proposed, although none have had widespread use in clinical practice. Other methods, like the cumulative defect curve (…

Temas e interpretaciones del derecho sucesorio italiano

2021

El articulo quiere mostrar que las interpretaciones de las instituciones del derecho de sucesiones que consideran el interés familiar, como expresión del principio de solidaridad (cada vez más en una protección patrimonialista de la legitimidad), siempre prevalente sobre todos los demás intereses, ya no pueden ser compartidas, porque la solidaridad no se distingue del personalismo. Modernizar el derecho de sucesiones no significa tener que abdicar en favor del contrato, sino descubrir el valor de la autonomía privada y el potencial del acto de última voluntad. Es la centralidad de la persona humana y no sólo el principio de solidaridad (más aún si se entiende en un sentido patrimonialista) …
