COMUNICACIÓN FAMILIAR Y COMPORTAMIENTOS DELICTIVOS EN ADOLESCENTES ESPAÑOLES:: EL DOBLE ROL MEDIADOR DE LA AUTOESTIMA¹
2007
This research analyses the relationship among family communication (open communication versus communication problems), multidimensional self-esteem (family, academic, social and physical self-esteem) and behavioural problems in adolescence. Two independent samples were used in the study: Sample 1 was composed of 414 adolescents ranging in age from 12 to 17 years old, and Sample 2 was composed of 625 adolescents aged from 11 to 20 years old. Results showed an indirect effect of family communication on delinquent behavior through the mediation of self-esteem. We found a protection effect of family and academic self-esteem and a risk effect of social and physical self-esteem on delinquent beha…

Estilos parentales de socialización y ajuste psicosocial de los adolescentes: un análisis de las influencias contextuales en el proceso de socialización. El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral ha sido el análisis de las relaciones entre los estilos parentales de socialización y el ajuste psicosocial de los hijos, y si esa relación se encuentra moderada por los niveles de riesgo de los vecindarios en los que las familias viven. Utilizando un modelo teórico de la socialización parental basado en dos dimensiones y cuatro tipologías (padres autorizativos, autoritarios, indulgentes y negligentes), se utilizaron los autoinformes de una muestra de adolescentes (N = 1.115) sobre la conductas parentales…
Cuerpos adolescentes en el cine español 1982-1998
2018
El presente artículo propone esbozar un panorama de las representaciones de adolescentes en el cine español durante los gobiernos socialistas a partir de 1982 y hasta 1998. Tras la reivindicación de la libertad propia de la Transición, en que el adolescente tenía a menudo la autonomía de un adulto, el cuerpo adolescente del período posterior traduce más bien en la pantalla un abanico de deseos frustrados. También es un cuerpo malherido por los excesos de todo tipo, el consumo en abuso de drogas o imágenes, quizás un fantasma más que un cuerpo dado que nunca llega a figurar la revolución que es (o que debería ser) la adolescencia.
Cybersex in the “Net generation”: Online sexual activities among Spanish adolescents
2016
The internet offers several opportunities to explore sexuality among adolescents. However, some studies have also revealed problematic effects of cybersex in earlier stages. Despite this, few studies analyze the online sexual behavior among adolescents, even less in Spain where there is very little data. For this reason, our aim is to examine the use of internet for sexual purposes among Spanish adolescents, including gender differences. Three hundred and twenty-two adolescents completed an ad-hoc questionnaire and the Spanish version of the Internet Sex Screening Test. In general, boys report more cybersex than girls do, for example, in masturbating while the Internet (60.6% of boys and 7.…

School-related stress among sixth-grade students : Associations with academic buoyancy and temperament
2019
The present study examined to what extent sixth-grade students' academic buoyancy and temperament contributed to their school-related stress. A total of 845 students rated their school-related stress at the beginning and end of the school year and their academic buoyancy at the beginning of the year. Parents rated students' effortful control and negative affectivity. The results showed that high academic buoyancy, high effortful control, and low negative affectivity at the beginning of the school year were related to lower school-related stress at the end of the school year, after controlling for gender, GPA, and previous level of stress. Effortful control and negative affectivity had no si…
Adolescents’ and mothers’ temperament types and their roles in early adolescents’ socioemotional functioning
2018
The present study examined adolescents’ and mothers’ temperament types and their roles in the socioemotional functioning of early adolescents. A total of 869 sixth-grade students and 668 mothers participated in the study. The students rated their temperament and socioemotional functioning and the mothers rated their own temperament. Latent profile analyses identified four temperament types among the adolescents (resilient, reserved, average, and mixed) and three types among the mothers (resilient, average, and mixed). The results showed that the adolescents with resilient or reserved temperaments reported significantly fewer conduct problems and emotional symptoms, less hyperactivity, and …

Longitudinal and situational associations between math anxiety and performance among early adolescents
2022
Studies have found math anxiety and achievement to be related from the beginning of formal schooling, but the knowledge regarding the direction of the relationship is vague. The purpose of the present study was to study this relationship. We investigated math anxiety from two points of view: trait and state anxiety. In the first substudy, we investigated the longitudinal relationship between math anxiety and performance from sixth to seventh grade (n = 848) with cross-lagged modeling. In the second substudy, we investigated the situational relationship of anxiety and performance by giving the participants (n = 149) challenging and nonchallenging math tasks adapted to their skill level, and …
The Positivity Scale: Concurrent and Factorial Validity Across Late Childhood and Early Adolescence
2019
Despite the well-established protective functions of positivity (i.e., a dispositional selfevaluative tendency to view oneself, life, and future under a positive outlook) from middle adolescence to old age, its reliable assessment and contribution to a proper psychological functioning have received little attention during previous developmental phases. In this article, we aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and construct validity of the eight-item Positivity Scale (P Scale; Caprara et al., 2012) during late childhood and early adolescence in a sample of British students (N = 742; 48% boys) from both primary (M age = 10.75, SD = 0.52) and secondary schools (M age = 13.38 years, SD …
