Pre-conceptional and Peri-Gestational Maternal Binge Alcohol Drinking Produces Inheritance of Mood Disturbances and Alcohol Vulnerability in the Adol…
2018
Although binge drinking is on the rise in women of reproductive age and during pregnancy, the consequences in the offspring, in particular the inheritance of alcohol-related mood disturbances and alcohol abuse vulnerability, are still poorly investigated. In this study, we modeled both Habitual- and Binge Alcohol Drinking (HAD and BAD) in female rats by employing a two-bottle choice paradigm, with 20% alcohol and water. The exposure started 12 weeks before pregnancy and continued during gestation and lactation. The consequences induced by the two alcohol drinking patterns in female rats were assessed before conception in terms of behavioral reactivity, anxiety- and depressive-like behavior.…
Mediadores psicológicos y motivación deportiva en judocas españoles. Psychological mediators and sport motivation in Spanish judokas.
2006
El presente trabajo analizo las diferencias de la motivacion en situacion precompetitiva de judocas en funcion de los mediadores psicologicos (percepciones de competencia, apoyo a la autonomia y relaciones sociales), tal y como postula el Modelo Jerarquico de la Motivacion Intrinseca, Extrinseca y Amotivacion (Vallerand, 1997, 2001; Vallerand y Losier, 1999). Se empleo una muestra de 181 judocas de edades comprendidas entre los 14 y 16 anos. Utilizamos una metodologia selectiva, con diseno prospectivo simple. Los datos se analizaron mediante un MANOVA, tomando como variables independientes los mediadores psicologicos y el sexo de los deportistas y como variables dependientes cada una de las…
Suspected motor problems and low preference for active play in childhood are associated with physical inactivity and low fitness in adolescence
2011
Background - This prospective longitudinal study investigates whether suspected motor problems and low preference for active play in childhood are associated with physical inactivity and low cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescence. Methodology/Principal Findings - The study sample consisted of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (NFBC 1986) composed of 5,767 children whose parents responded to a postal inquiry concerning their children's motor skills at age 8 years and who themselves reported their physical activity at age 16 years. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured with a cycle ergometer test at age 16 years. Odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for the lev…
Physical activity and aerobic fitness show different associations with brain processes underlying anticipatory selective visuospatial attention in ad…
2021
ABSTRACTUnderlying brain processes of exercise-related benefits on executive functions and the specific contribution of physical activity vs. aerobic fitness are poorly understood, especially during adolescence. We explored whether and how physical activity and aerobic fitness are associated with selective attention and the oscillatory dynamics induced by an anticipatory spatial cue. Further, we studied whether the link between physical exercise level and cognitive control in adolescents is mediated by the task-related oscillatory activity. Magnetoencephalographic alpha oscillations during a modified Posner’s cueing paradigm were measured in 59 adolescents (37 females and 22 males, 12 to 17…
Adolescents with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes : psychological flexibility is associated with the glycemic control, quality of life and depressiv…
2021
This study investigates the role of psychological flexibility in relation to glycaemic control (HbA1c) and quality of life among adolescents with poorly-controlled diabetes. Adolescents (n = 65, aged 12–16 years) completed the Children and Adolescents Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), the Diabetes Acceptance and Action Scale for Children and Adolescents (DAAS), the Depression Scale (RBDI), and the Health-Related Quality of Life Scale (KINDL-R). HbA1c values were collected from medical records. A higher level of psychological flexibility was associated with better glycaemic control, better quality of life, and lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Mediation analysis showed that diabetes…
Influences of social stress in the rewarding effects of mdma and alcohol
2015
La adicción a las drogas es un importante problema en nuestra sociedad con graves consecuencias jurídicas, médicas y sociales para los consumidores. Se trata de un trastorno caracterizado por la pérdida de control sobre el uso de la droga, su búsqueda compulsiva y la aparición de un estado emocional negativo en ausencia de la misma. El alcohol es la droga legal más consumida tanto por adultos como por adolescentes. Por otra parte, entre las sustancias ilegales, los datos epidemiológicos apuntan que el éxtasis o MDMA es una sustancia ampliamente consumida entre los adolescentes y adultos jóvenes sobre todo en fiestas “rave” donde los consumidores pasan horas, incluso días, haciendo uso de es…
Współzależność religijności z poczuciem sensu życia i nadzieją w okresie późnej adolescencji
2016
The religiousness of young people is strongly associated with discovering life goals, identity formation, and the sphere of values. During this period there occur dynamic changes in religious beliefs and behaviours, as well as the process of discovering the meaning of life and creating hope. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationships between religion analysed in terms of personal constructs and post-critical beliefs and the sense of meaning in life, as well as two types of hope: basic hope and hope for success. The research was conducted on a group of 198 people (104 men and 94 women) aged 18–23 years. The results showed that religiousness is more strongly associated with t…
Measuring Health Literacy in Childhood and Adolescence with the Scale Health Literacy in School-Aged Children – German Version : The Psychometric Pro…
2022
Abstract. Health literacy can help explain health inequalities in childhood and adolescence. However, suitable instruments for assessing health literacy in this age group are rare, especially in the German-speaking countries. One economical measure is the 10-item Health Literacy in School-Aged Children (HLSAC) scale, developed and reviewed as part of the WHO Child and Adolescent Health Study (HBSC, Health Behavior in School-Aged Children). In the present study, we tested dimensionality, measurement invariance, and associations with health-related measures of the German version of the scale (HLSAC–German), using data from the 2018 national German HBSC study ( N = 4,347 students aged 11, 13,…
Relations Between Suicidal Ideation, Depression, and Emotional Autonomy from Parents in Adolescence
2010
We examined the relations between depression, emotional autonomy quality-related constructs of separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation, focusing on the unique and common contribution that depression, separation and detachment made to suicidal ideation. We also examined gender differences. 403 adolescents, 196 boys and 207 girls, completed self-report measures of depression, separation and detachment, and suicidal ideation. The data showed a significant relation between depression and suicidal ideation both for boys and girls, and between detachment and suicidal ideation only for boys. Results for boys supported an additive model such that depression and detachment each contributed …
