Educational Impairment in Social Anxiety Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
2020
Tant la Fòbia social (FS) com el Trastorn d’estrès posttraumàtic (TEPT) s’han associat al baix rendiment acadèmic, però els estudis previs presentaven importants limitacions metodològiques. Per a realitzar recerca epidemiològica, és útil utilitzar els registres administratius i de salut poblacionals, com els disponibles a Suècia. Per tal de desenvolupar estudis amb garanties, és important que els codis diagnòstics que contenen aquests registres siguen vàlids i fiables. Aquesta tesi per compendi d’articles té com a primer objectiu validar el codi diagnòstic de l’FS (el codi diagnòstic del TEPT ja ha sigut prèviament validat) per a després explorar, per mitjà dels registres poblacionals suecs…
Protective and Educational Effects of Physical Activity Practice on Mental Health in Young Age during COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have modified the lifestyle of young people, worsening their mental health. Although some countries were allowed to practice outdoor physical activity (PA) in cases of lockdown, the PA level in the general population decreased.

Methods: The sample consisted of 276 university students (176 females, 63.8%; mean age: 22.13, SD: ±3.94) who answered an online questionnaire detecting life habits …
Assessing Statistical Anxiety Among Online and Traditional Students
2019
The purpose of this study was to determine whether scores on the Statistical Anxiety Scale (SAS) manifest in the same way for students in online and traditional statistics courses. Tests of measurement invariance indicated that invariance of the two-factor model of the SAS held at every level. Therefore, we compared the statistical anxiety of online and traditional students. Results indicated that online and traditional statistics students reported comparable levels of anxiety with slightly less anxiety in terms of seeking help for traditional students. We concluded that online instruction is a viable form of statistics education at least for undergraduate students enrolled in the social sc…
