Exploring the Interaction Effects of Gender Contentedness and Pubertal Timing on Adolescent Longitudinal Psychological and Behavioral Health Outcomes
2021
Background: Off-time pubertal timing (PT) and non-conforming gender identity have been reported to predict adverse health and well-being in adolescents. However, the joint effects of these two factors are less addressed.

GC was self-reported at waves 1 and 9 in a binary response, and th…

The Relationship among Paternal and Maternal Psychological Control, Self-Esteem, and Indecisiveness across Adolescent Genders
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among adolescents’ indecisiveness, adolescents’ self-esteem, and maternal and paternal psychological control by focusing on the differences in the relationship among these variables across adolescent genders. A total of 381 Italian adolescents (215 boys and 166 girls), aged from 13 to 17 years, completed self-report measures of parental psychological control, self-esteem and indecisiveness. Since previous studies have highlighted indirect relations between family characteristics and indecisiveness, structural equation modeling (SEM) methods were used for testing self-esteem as a possible mediator. In particular, a multiple group anal…

2017
1. INTRODUCCIÓN Los enormes y continuos avances de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TICs) han contribuido al desarrollo de nuevas formas de comunicación e interrelación social en la sociedad actual (Buelga y Chóliz, 2013). Pese a estas ventajas, han surgido nuevos problemas en la red como consecuencia del mal uso que algunos niños y adolescentes hacen de la TICs (Durán y Martínez, 2015; Ortega-Barón, Buelga y Cava, 2016; Rice et al., 2015). En este sentido, destaca el cyberbullying (CB), que ha sido definido como una “una conducta agresiva e in¬tencional que se repite de forma frecuente en el tiempo mediante el uso, por un indi¬viduo o grupo, de dispositivos electrón…

Este estudio evalúa un procedimiento nuevo para el análisis “micro-sociométrico” de los patrones relacionales de género en el alumnado adolescente, lo que se analiza aplicando Análisis de Correspondencias Múltiples (ACM). El propósito del estudio es desarrollar y validar la Escala de Preferencias Relacionales de Género (EPRG), con el fin de obtener datos válidos y fiables que permitan reconocer la predisposición de las chicas y los chicos adolescentes a relacionarse con sus iguales; y, si las relaciones que establecen están condicionadas por la socialización diferencial de género que propone el patriarcado (Bosch, Ferrer & Alzamora, 2006; Lagarde, 1996; Lomas, 2007; Lorente, 2007; Rodríguez…

Psychosocial maladjustment in adolescence: parental socialization, self-esteem, and substance use
2018
Abstract: This study analyzes adolescents’ vulnerability based on self-esteem and substance use, with parenting style as a protective or risk factor. The sample was composed of 1445 Spanish adolescents (59.4% females), 600 early (41.5%, from 12 to 15 years old) and 845 late (58.5%, from 16 to 17 years old) adolescents. Families were classified in one of four typologies: Indulgent, authoritative, authoritarian, and neglectful. Adolescents’ adjustment was captured through self-esteem (emotional, family, and physical) and substance use (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and synthetic drugs). Results showed that vulnerability was greater in late adolescence than in early adolescence. An i…
