Editorial: Positive Technology: Designing E-experiences for Positive Change
2019
While there is little doubt that our lives are becoming increasingly digital, whether this change is for the better or for the worse is far from being settled. Rather, over the past years concerns about the personal and social impacts of technologies have been growing, fueled by dystopian Orwellian scenarios that almost on daily basis are generously dispensed by major Western media outlets. According to a recent poll involving some 1,150 experts, 47% of respondents predict that individuals’ well-being will bemore helped than harmed by digital life in the next decade, while 32% say people’s well-being will bemore harmed than helped. Only 21% of those surveyed indicated that the impact of tec…
Time Deixis in Engineering Discourse
2021
Nowadays, it has become commonly accepted that the meaning of linguistic elements is interconnected with the context of their use. Deixis is one of the classical pragmatic phenomena that illustrates that context-dependence is inherent in language as meaning of deictic expressions cannot be constructed without the identification of the speech event where these expressions occurred. The present article discusses cases of time deixis in the context of engineering discourse. The goal of the research is to demonstrate how the deictic expression use in different genres of professional discourse impacts meaning construction. The study deals with the data obtained from scientific articles, encyclop…
Multidimensional Prayer Inventory: Psychometric Properties and Clinical Applications
2022
Prayer is one of the most important aspects of religious/spiritual life. The psychological literature has identified various types of prayer and a few methods for measuring it. The Multidimensional Prayer Inventory (MPI) has received much attention from researchers since it allows for the capture of the most universal forms of prayer, characteristic of the Judeo-Christian tradition: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication, and Reception. The aim of this article was to examine psychometric properties and clinical applications of the Polish MPI. In four studies, we established the internal structure of the MPI using Principal Component Analysis (PCA, study 1) and Confirmatory Factor…
Cough is dangerous : neural correlates of implicit body symptoms associations
2016
The negative interpretation of body sensations (e.g., as sign of a severe illness) is a crucial cognitive process in pathological health anxiety (HA). However, little is known about the nature and the degree of automaticity of this interpretation bias. We applied an implicit association test (IAT) in 20 subjects during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate behavioral and neural correlates of implicit attitudes towards symptom words. On the behavioral level, body symptom words elicited strong negative implicit association effects, as indexed by slowed reaction times when symptom words were paired with the attribute harmless (incongruent condition) relative to a control …

La Psicoterapia de grupos en la crisis vital de la edad avanzada
2005
Este artículo se propone narrar algunos aspectos del recorrido realizado por un grupo psicoterapéutico constituido por mujeres de edad avanzada y que lleva, hasta la actualidad, diez años de funcionamiento. Tomando como punto de partida esta experiencia, se desarrollan estos cuatro tópicos: el tratamiento grupal como una elección adecuada en las crisis vitales de la edad avanzada, algunas características de esta etapa evolutiva, las particularidades que la misma adquiere en un país como el nuestro y, finalmente, algunos prejuicios sobre la vejez que resultan obstaculizadores en el trabajo profesional con este tipo de pacientes.
El pluralismo polarizado ante la nueva política y el columnismo digital
2020
El modelo de pluralismo polarizado del sistema mediático español se caracteriza por un periodismo ideológicamente alineado con los principales partidos políticos. Ello se ha traducido en que, en los géneros de opinión, la interpretación sosegada haya sido sacrificada en favor de un discurso dirigido a enjuiciar la realidad y movilizar ideológicamente a las audiencias. Este trabajo aborda las posibles transformaciones en el sistema mediático español como consecuencia de la irrupción de nuevos partidos y de los medios digitales. Con ese objetivo, se han sometido a un análisis cualitativo las columnas de opinión publicadas en dos de los principales cibermedios españoles, Eldiario.es, donde fir…
Mathematics Competence Level: The Contribution of Non-symbolic and Spatial Magnitude Comparison Skills.
2019
Magnitude comparison skills have been related to mathematics competence, although results in this area vary. The current study aimed to describe the performance of 75 children (aged 4-5 years) in two comparison tasks; and examine the strength of the relationship between each of the two tasks and mathematics competence level (MCL). Participants were assessed with the Early Numeracy Test which provides a global MCL score. Magnitude comparison skills were assessed with two tasks: a non-symbolic number comparison task and a spatial comparison task. Results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed a relationship between the two tasks with better performance in the spatial comparison task. Regr…
Psychopathology and female detention at the “Pagliarelli” jail of Palermo: preliminary results
2018
Most of the studies carried out on prisoners have considered male samples or they investigated specific psychiatric disorders. The present study aims to estimate the presence of current and lifetime psychiatric disorders among female inmates. Secondary aims are to evaluate the correlation between a current psychiatric disorder and other variables, and the association with a psycho-pharmacotherapy and a request for a clinical psychological interview. The study included 25 women with a final sentence at the “Casa Circondariale Pagliarelli” from October 2016 to July 2017. The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was used to assess the presence of any current or lifetime psychia…
Prevalence of Burnout Syndrome in a sample of brazilian university professors
2013
O docente integra um grupo de risco para o desenvolvimento da Síndrome de Burnout (SB). Este estudo investigou a prevalência da SB em 169 professores universitários da cidade de Piracicaba-SP, por meio do Questionário de Avaliação para a Síndrome de Burnout (CESQT versão brasileira). O valor de consistência interna alfa de Cronbach foi satisfatório para todas as dimensões do questionário. Os resultados mostraram que 11,2% dos professores apresentaram Perfil 1 e 3% Perfil 2 da SB. A prevalência encontrada é motivo de preocupação e merece atenção, não só pelos danos que a SB provoca na saúde física, mental e social do profissional, mas também pela influência na qualidade de ensino praticado n…
