Enhancing emotional intelligence at school: Evaluation of the effectiveness of a two-year intervention program in Spanish pre-adolescents
2017
Abstract The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a two-year intervention program to promote emotional intelligence (EI) at school. Participants were 228 primary school pupils between 10 and 11 years old. This study evaluated the effects of the intervention using a pre- and post-experimental design with a control group and four evaluation moments. EI was assessed with the EQ-i:YV questionnaire by Bar-On and Parker (2000), adapted to Spanish by Ferrandiz, Hernandez, Bermejo, Ferrando, and Sainz (2012). The results showed the effectiveness of the intervention, highlighting an increase in all the EI dimensions of the Bar-On model: intrapersonal, interpersonal, st…
Precursors of Body Dissatisfaction and its Implication for Psychological Well-Being in Young Adults
2019
The authors examined leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), body mass index (BMI), and perceived physical ability as body dissatisfaction antecedents, and analyzed their relationship to well-being. The sample comprised 501 university students. Data were collected using a self-administered survey. Path analysis revealed that LTPA positively predicted perceived physical ability. BMI and perceived physical ability predicted body dissatisfaction (positively and negatively, respectively). Body dissatisfaction negatively predicted subjective vitality, whereas perceived physical ability positively predicted subjective vitality. These results support the inclusion of LTPA in intervention programs t…

The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the impact of augmented reality through social, cognitive, and behavioral domains in children and adolescents with autism. This study is the first contribution that has carried out an evidence-based systematic r…
Update on the Management of Pediatric Psoriasis: An Italian Consensus
2022
Introduction Psoriasis affects children with a considerable burden in early life. Treating pediatric psoriasis is challenging also because of the lack of updated specific guidelines. With the recent approval of several biologics for pediatric psoriasis and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the management of young psoriatic patients is facing major changes. A revision of treatment recommendations is therefore needed. Methods In September 2021, a board of six Italian dermatologists convened to update treatment recommendations. The board issued evidence- and consensus-based statements covering relevant areas of pediatric psoriasis, namely: assessment of psoriasis severity, management of children …
Cuando el exceso de protección se convierte en un problema: factores globales que inciden en el desarrollo de riesgos en los adolescentes
2014
El presente artículo, reflexiona en torno al hecho común y cada vez más representativo sobre cómo adolescentes, que proceden de entornos familiares socialmente ajustados y envueltos en garantías, acaban siendo protagonistas de prácticas de riesgo que derivan en su propio deterioro. Podemos afirmar, que los nuevos tiempos amparados en las garantías de la globalización, han logrado adiestrar a estos nuevos adolescentes acomodados, socializados en espacios de bienestar, preservados ante cualquier contingencia y vacunados contra las inercias de la exclusión. Como decimos, los adolescentes viven con mucha protección y muchas posibilidades, pero estas garantías no evitan los problemas. Así, algun…

Análisis de la exclusión a partir de la delincuencia juvenil en la ciudad de Valencia. El territorio como base para la intervención
2015
La inseguridad, en la llamada sociedad del riesgo, se traduce en reivindicación de seguridad frente a la delincuencia. La ambivalencia y la pluralidad de la sociedad postmoderna se debate entre la concepción de estructuras de intervención rígidas, penalizadoras y centradas en el individuo como responsable único de su acción o, por el contrario, en articular un modelo donde la sociedad se apodere de sus conflictos y haga, de la responsabilidad, un bien social del que ocuparse. De tal manera que la responsabilidad no es individual, sino grupal y colectiva siendo clave para ello el territorio. En este artículo se parte de este último postulado, el territorio donde se desarrolla la trayectoria …
