Socialización parental en España a lo largo del ciclo vital

2019

Los padres tienen como una de las principales responsabilidades la socialización de sus hijos. La socialización se define como un proceso iniciado por un adulto por el cual el joven, a través de la educación, la formación y la imitación adquiere su cultura, así como los hábitos y valores congruentes con la adaptación a esa cultura. La socialización incluye un conjunto de procesos por los cuales los adultos son capaces de tener un funcionamiento adecuado dentro de las necesidades del grupo o grupos sociales particulares a los que pertenecen. Tradicionalmente, muchos estudios han examinado la socialización parental a partir de dos dimensiones teóricamente ortogonales identificadas como afecto…

Identity Status Change Within Personal Style Clusters : A Longitudinal Perspective From Early Adulthood to Midlife

2019

Differences in identity stability and change from age 36 through 42 to 50 were examined between three male and female personal style clusters extracted at age 27. We expected, first, the identity statuses to consistently differ between the clusters and, second, those with the least mature identity to move closer to others during midlife. Differences between the personal style clusters were discovered on all identity statuses across ages. Although significant personal style × age interactions were not detected, some evidence of pace-of-development differences emerged for women: Initial differences in identity maturation between the female groups partially leveled off by midlife. In men, earl…

The Challenges in Moving from Ageing to Successful Longevity

2014

During the last decades survival has significantly improved and centenarians are becoming a fast-growing group of the population. Human life span is mainly dependent on environmental and genetic factors. Favourable modifications of lifestyle factors (e.g. physical activity, diet and not smoking) and healthcare (e.g. effective vascular disease prevention) have also increased human life span. Genetic factors contribute to the variation of human life span by around 25%, which is believed to be more profound after 85 years of age. It is likely that multiple factors influence life span and we need answers to questions such as: 1) What does it take to reach 100?, 2) Do centenarians have better he…

Mental Models, Magical Thinking, and Individual Differences

2009

Broadly, there are two mutually exclusive accounts of how people (nonspecialist users) reason about and conceptualize interactive technology. The first is based on classical cognitive psychology and is characterized by the term mental model. The second, drawing on concepts from social cognition, observes that people often anthropomorphize technology. We argue that people are able to exhibit both of these quite different styles of cognition, which Baron-Cohen has described as systemizing and empathizing. The former is associated with the drive to analyze, explore, and construct a system, whereas the latter is the ability to spontaneously tune into another’s thoughts and feelings. The propens…

Promuovere l'autostima, l'autoefficacia e lo stile decisionale a scuola attraverso la scrittura espressiva

2015

Esprimere in forma scritta le proprie emozioni positive quando si pensa ai propri obiettivi di vita fa bene alla salute. È questa la conclusione cui è giunta laura King dopo aver analizzato gli effetti della trascrizione del proprio miglior sé proiettato nel futuro. James W. Pennebaker, pioniere della scrittura espressiva sperimentata secondo la modalità retrospettiva, ha invece sottolineato gli effetti sulla salute della scrittura di emozioni negative connesse ad episodi traumatici vissuti nel passato. Nel presente studio, si sono presi in considerazione i contributi dei due ricercatori per confrontare gli effetti della trascrizione delle paure e delle speranze riguardo al futuro su tre co…

Familias interculturales: aspectos psicosociales de un fenomeno en construccion - Bicultural couples: from family to community

2012

The research examines the dynamics of bicultural couples in which one partner is autochthonous and the other is of foreign nationality. Two levels of analysis were considered: a macro level studying the identity of place in reference to the general social context and the residential neighbourhood, in particular; the second level refers to the dynamics of the couple and examines the strategies for managing differences between partners and the educational styles adopted in the presence of children. According to the basic assumptions of qualitative research, 42 mixed couples living in Sicily were interviewed. To analyse the contents which emerged from interviews the Atlas.ti software was used.…

This article introduces a quantitative research into how the leadership team members of 49 basic education schools in the city of Vantaa, Finland, experienced the realisation of strategic leadership in their leadership teams' work. The data were collected by a survey of 24 statements, rated on a five-point Likert scale, and analysed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The only variant explaining the differences in experiencing the realisation of strategic leadership in the leadership teams' work statistically, almost significantly, was the leadership team membership.

Effects of Passive Leadership in the Digital Age

2021

Organizations must adapt to the trend of digitalization. Nowadays, social media engagement editors play an increasingly crucial role for organizational growth and prosperity in the digital age. Engagement editors are usually tasked to perform the functions of marketing, content production, and data analysis. They have to manage online communities on behalf of the organization, and encounter online audiences' frequent toxic and aggressive behaviors. Engagement editors thus are prone to emotional stress. Substantial literature has examined the influence of leadership style on employee performance. However, passive leadership is rarely studied. This research investigates (1) whether passive le…

Parenting Styles and Internet Use

2017

The Internet has become the most popular way for young people to communicate with one another. Recent data indicate that 95% of students have Internet access. This study examined the links between Internet use and the parenting styles that shape parent-child interactions. Empirical analysis showed that Internet use accounts for the majority of adolescents' leisure time. The neglecting parenting style has the strongest relationship with addictive Internet use by adolescent girls and boys. For boys, addictive Internet use is also related to a combination of different parenting styles resulting from inconsistencies and contradictions between parents.
