La inteligencia emocional y la empatía como factores predictores del bienestar subjetivo en estudiantes universitarios
2019
espanolLa incorporacion al ambito universitario conlleva estres. El desarrollo de las habilidades emocionales puede ayudar a los jovenes a hacer frente a los nuevos retos academicos y mejorar su rendimiento y bienestar personal. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estudiar la relacion entre inteligencia emocional, empatia y bienestar subjetivo. Los participantes fueron 122 estudiantes universitarios entre 18 y 32 anos (M=20.93; DT=2.55; 83.60% mujeres) que completaron los cuestionarios: Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24), Basic Empathy Scale (BES), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) y Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences (SPANE). Se realizaron analisis descriptivos y de regresion li…
¿Influye la Retroalimentación Correctiva en el Uso de la Retroalimentación Elaborada en un Entorno Digital?
2019
Los entornos digitales permiten proporcionar retroalimentación correctiva de verificación de respuestas (KR: correcto/incorrecto) o de respuesta correcta (KCR: la respuesta correcta es X), junto con retroalimentación elaborada (EF: explicaciones). Es frecuente asumir que los estudiantes procesan la EF, aunque investigaciones recientes demuestran que eso no siempre es así, debido probablemente a la retroalimentación correctiva proporcionada junto con la EF. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la decisión voluntaria de acceder a EF en función de la retroalimentación KR y KCR recibida inmediatamente tras responder preguntas de un texto de ciencias. Estudiantes de secundaria recibieron retr…
Literacy Skill Development of Children With Familial Risk for Dyslexia Through Grades 2, 3, and 8
2015
This study followed the development of reading speed, reading accuracy, and spelling in transparent Finnish orthography in children through Grades 2, 3, and 8. We compared 2 groups of children with familial risk for dyslexia—1 group with dyslexia (Dys_FR, n = 35) and 1 group without (NoDys_FR, n = 66) in Grade 2—with a group of children without familial risk for dyslexia (controls, n = 72). The Dys_FR group showed persistent deficiency, especially in reading speed, and, to a minor extent, in reading and spelling accuracy. The Dys_FR children, contrary to the other 2 groups, relied heavily on letter-by-letter decoding in Grades 2 and 3. In children not fulfilling the criteria for dyslexia in…
Online Research and Comprehension Performance Profiles Among Sixth-Grade Students, Including Those with Reading Difficulties and/or Attention and Exe…
2022
This study identified online research and comprehension (ORC) performance profiles of 436 sixth-grade students (206 girls) aged 12–13 years. We included learner groups with different learning-related difficulties and explored how students’ reading habits were represented in various performance profiles. First, students’ ORC performance was examined with a validated web-based assessment measuring their skills in locating, evaluating, synthesizing, and communicating information. Second, reading fluency and teacher-rated attention and executive function (EF) difficulty scores were used to form learner groups: (1) students with reading difficulties, (2) students with attention and EF difficulti…
Teaching sourcing during online inquiry – adolescents with the weakest skills benefited the most
2022
AbstractSourcing - identifying, evaluating, and using information about the sources of information - assists readers in determining what to trust when seeking information on the Internet. To survive in the post-truth era, students should be equipped with sufficient sourcing skills. This study investigated the efficacy of a teacher-led intervention aimed at fostering upper secondary school students’ (N = 365) sourcing during online inquiry. The intervention (4 × 75 min) was structured in accordance with the phases of online inquiry: locating, evaluating, synthesizing, and communicating information. During the intervention, teachers demonstrated why and how to source, and students practiced s…
Beta-band MEG signal power changes in older adults after physical exercise program with and without additional cognitive training
2023
Physical exercise has been considered to be an efficient mean of preserving cognitive function and it influences both the structural and functional characteristics of the brain. It has especially been shown to increase brain plasticity, the capacity to re-structure brain properties in response to interaction, such as cognitive practice. Studies have also examined the potential additive effect of cognitive training on the documented benefit of physical exercise, commonly, however, not at the neural level. We monitored, using magnetoencephalography (MEG), the brain processes associated with executive functions in older individuals who participated in a 12-month randomized controlled trial inc…
Una Experiencia de Investigación, Formación e Intervención con Hombres Penados por Violencia contra la Mujer en la Universidad de Valencia: Programa …
2010
En España, a partir de la entrada en vigor de la Ley Orgánica 1/2004 de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género, los programas de intervención para maltratadores se han convertido en un recurso necesario para el cumplimiento de las suspensiones de condena condicionadas, en casos de violencia de género. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar el trabajo realizado desde el Programa Contexto (Universidad de Valencia) en el ámbito de la investigación, formación e intervención con penados por violencia de género. En primer lugar, se describen las principales características y líneas directrices de la intervención en el Programa junto con la estructura y fases de la misma. …
Job Insecurity and Depressive Symptoms in Mothers and Adolescents: A Dyadic Study
2021
AbstractIn this study, we examined whether maternal perceived job insecurity (JI) affected depressive symptoms in their adolescent children. Specifically, we tested a mediator-moderator model in which we hypothesized that maternal JI was related to adolescent depressive symptoms indirectly via maternal depressive symptoms. Most importantly, we also explored whether this indirect path was moderated by two buffering resources, i.e., maternal off-job recovery and adolescent self-esteem. There is little research on the effects of parental JI on adolescent children from the viewpoint of buffering moderators. Due to growing insecurity in the labor markets we need more information about resources …
Attentional bias towards interpersonal aggression in depression – an eye movement study
2020
Depressed individuals exhibit an attentional bias towards mood-congruent stimuli, yet evidence for biased processing of threat-related information in human interaction remains scarce. Here, we tested whether an attentional bias towards interpersonally aggressive pictures over interpersonally neutral pictures could be observed to a greater extent in depressed participants than in control participants. Eye movements were recorded while the participants freely viewed visually matched interpersonally aggressive and neutral pictures, which were presented in pairs. Across the groups, participants spent more time looking at neutral pictures than at aggressive pictures, probably reflecting avoidanc…
