The Indulgent Parenting Style and Developmental Outcomes in South European and Latin American Countries

2013

This chapter reviews recent literature analysing relationships between parenting styles and developmental outcomes. As opposed to traditional results obtained with Euro-American samples, evidence from emergent research in South European and Latin American countries indicates that adolescents from indulgent families scored equal or even better than those from authoritative families in many key indicators of psychosocial adjustment, and that the indulgent parenting appears as the optimum parenting style in these samples. This research suggests that authoritative parenting is not always necessarily associated with optimum developmental outcomes and that relationships between parenting styles a…

The Impact of Fiscal Consolidation on Human Development

2017

We find that fiscal austerity is associated with a reduction of human development standards, with the negative effect being particularly severe in the case of spending-driven consolidation episodes. Fiscal adjustments are especially damaging for human development in developing countries (namely, African and Latin American countries). Additionally, the empirical evidence shows that (i) government stability is a crucial institutional determinant of human development, and (ii) while investment in physical capital can boost human development, government consumption and inflation are detrimental to it.

Constitucionalismo democrático e innovación constitucional en Ecuador

2021

Desde la activación del poder constituyente en la Constitución colombiana de 1991, diversas constituciones democráticas han supuesto cambios estructurales importantes en varios países latinoamericanos, tanto en la organización de los poderes públicos como en la legitimidad democrática del poder y la regeneración constitucional de los derechos. De entre estos nuevos textos constitucionales latinoamericanos destaca, ­­por su originalidad y avances teóricos, la Constitución ecuatoriana de 2009: el primer caso de constitucionalismo de transición en el nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano. Estas constituciones, no obstante, se encuentran ante un problema de aplicación que dificulta su funcio…

Comportamiento del consumidor en la co-creación de valor y su relación con la satisfacción en el entorno universitario: una aplicación a la Universid…

2016

Aportes académicos señalan que el consumidor es el actor más importante en la co-creación de valor, pero pocos estudios se han centrado en descubrir y comprobar la influencia de los compor- tamientos del consumidor que co-crea valor en su satisfacción. En consecuencia, en este artículo se contrasta esta relación en el contexto universitario, para lo cual se plantea un modelo relacional con las variables: comportamiento del consumidor en la co-creación de valor y satisfacción. Dicho modelo se aplicó a una muestra representativa de estudiantes de una universidad colombiana. Los resultados evidencian algunas relaciones positivas. La contribución teórica del estudio radica en que esta es la pri…
