Design and Validation of the Brief Self Online Scale (SO-8) in Early Adolescence: An Exploratory Study
2020
For the Z-Generation, the Internet has become a very important experimentation laboratory for the discovery and validation of their identity. Despite the importance of the process of building the self in the adolescent, there are hardly any validated instruments that measure the self online. The aim of this research was to design and validate the Brief Self Online Scale (SO-8). A total of 843 students (384 boys, 45.6%), with an age range of 10 to 14 years participated. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the hypothesized model of two correlated factors (Online Self-Perception and Online Idealized Projection), previously obtained through exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The relia…
Social comparisons at work as related to a cooperative social climate and to individual differences in social comparison orientation
2005
This study examined the frequency of social comparisons in a work setting, and the feelings that these comparisons evoked. These processes were related to individual differences in social comparison orientation, and to the perception of a cooperative social climate at work. The participants were 216 physicians from various health centers in the Community of Valencia in Spain. In general, upward comparisons occurred more often, and elicited more positive and less negative affect than downward comparisons. Those high in social comparison orientation reported relatively more upward as well as downward comparisons, more positive affect after downward comparisons, and more negative affect after …
Parental and Familial Factors Influencing Physical Activity Levels in Early Adolescence: A Prospective Study

A total of 651 participants (50.3% females) were tested at baseline (beginning of high school education

A Collector Deceives—About the Ways of Deceiving Women by Men and Men by Women as far as Spending Money on Collecting Items Is Concerned
2022
The presented research shows that neither women nor men are honest with their partners when informing them about the amount of money spent on collecting items. Their behaviour may show signs of addiction to collecting. Men in comparison to women spend more and are less likely to lower the amounts of money spent on collected items. Those who earn more spend more on their collections. Women and men also use different techniques of hiding their expenses. Women do not inform about their expenses using denying techniques (such as saying that it was bought/borrowed a long time ago, etc.), whereas men inform about expenses but use preventive techniques (such as exchange). What is more, men tend to…
Gender differences in coronary heart disease in elderly population
2017
Coronary heart diseases (CHDs) represent one of the leading causes of death in developed countries, and particularly in elderly populations. There are several genderspecific differences in the risk factors, presentation, management, and prognosis of CHDs in middle-aged and elderly adults. Elderly women, for example, tend to present with these diseases at an older age compared to men and are characterized by a greater number of risk factors and comorbidities at diagnosis. As far as symptomatic acute coronary syndromes are concerned, older women are less likely to report critical arterial obstruction, but seem to be more frequently affected by adverse outcomes and higher mortality. These feat…

2020
Pētījuma mērķis ir izanalizēt zinātnisko literatūru un noskaidrot vai pastāv triarhiskās psihopātijas pazīmju dzimumatšķirības. Pētījuma izlasi veidoja 63 pilngadīgi respondent ar dažādu izglītības līmeni, kuriem tika dota Triarhiskā psihopātijas aptauja. Izlase tika sadalīta divās grupās- 33 vīrieši un 30 sievietes. Salīdzinot rezultātus tika noskaidrots, ka drosmes un disinhibīcijas skalās nepastāv statistiski nozīmīgas atšķirības starp vīriešu un sieviešu grupu, savukārt zemiskuma skalā statistiksi nozīmīgas dzimumatšķirības pastāv, vīriešiem ir krietni augstāki rezultāti nekā sievietēm. Iegūtie rezultāti ir saskaņā ar iepriekšējiem pētījumiem.
