La inmigración y el género como factores clave de la movilidad educativa en España
2021
En este trabajo analizamos los determinantes del logro educativo para la población inmigrante en España, así como su grado de movilidad intergeneracional educativa, comparando estos resultados con el resto de residentes en nuestro país. Como fuente de información, utilizamos la encuesta EU-SILC de 2011, que incluye un módulo de transmisión intergeneracional de pobreza. Gracias a este módulo, podemos conocer el nivel académico de los progenitores y compararlo con el alcanzado por sus hijos. Para analizar los determinantes del logro educativo, utilizamos una estimación de máxima verosimilitud, teniendo en cuenta variables del propio individuo, de su familia y de su entorno, mientras que el es…
Gender differences in ultimatum games: Despite rather than due to risk attitudes
2012
Abstract We analyze experimental data obtained from an ultimatum game framed as a situation of employee–employer negotiation over salaries. Parallel to this, we elicit subjects’ risk attitudes. In the existing literature, it has often been conjectured that gender differences in strategic environments are partly due to differences in risky decision making. Our evidence suggests that both gender and risk-related effects co-exist in ultimatum bargaining. However, differences in risk attitudes cannot explain gender effects in ultimatum bargaining.
Predicting life satisfaction in Angolan elderly: the moderating effect of gender
2014
Existe abundante investigación que ha estudiado la satisfacción vital en personas mayores y ha encontrado evidencia empírica de sus mejores predictores. Cuando se estudia la satisfacción con la vida de las personas mayores y sus predictores se hallan diferencias en función del género incluyendo, por ejemplo, las interacciones con la viudedad. En este contexto, el presente estudio se ha centrado en los siguientes objetivos: (1) poner a prueba la invarianza en función del género de una medida de satisfacción con la vida, (2) predecir la satisfacción vital usando varias variables relacionadas con el proceso de envejecimiento y (3) poner a prueba el potencial efecto moderador del género en esta…
The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown Measures on Quality of Life among Italian General Population
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world in the year 2020 has put a strain on our ability to cope with events and revolutionized our daily habits. On 9 March, Italy was forced to lockdown to prevent the spread of the infection, with measures including the mandatory closure of schools and nonessential activities, travel restrictions, and the obligation to spend entire weeks in the same physical space. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures on quality of life (QoL) in a large Italian sample, in order to investigate possible differences in QoL levels related to both demographic and pandemic-specific variables. A total of 2251 Italian a…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2016
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…
Method Effects and Gender Invariance of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale: A Study on Adolescents
2015
AbstractRosenberg's self-esteem scale has been extensively used in all areas of psychology to assess global self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1965, 1979). Its construct validity, and specifically its factor structure, has almost from the beginning been under debate. More than four decades after its creation the cumulated evidence points that the scale measures a single trait (self-esteem) but confounded by a method factor associated to negatively worded items. The aim of the study is to examine the measurement invariance of the RSES by gender and test potential gender differences at the latent (trait and method) variable level, while controlling for method effects, in a sample of Spanish students. A …
Scuola ed educazione nel pensiero di Jane Roland Martin
2017
The article presents Jane Roland Martin's philosophy of education in the light of the need to rethink the school according to more inclusive and gender-sentive ideals. From a pedagogical perspective, Roland Martin argues first and foremost that not one can opt for an educational ideal that claims to be free from sexual difference: this is equivalent to confirming an ideal designed for the male experience, but then proposed to both males and females as desirable goal to reach in school contexts. Roland Martin instead argues for the need to rethinking school contexts in more inclusive terms and, first of all, the ideal of "educated person". At the same time, however, this account highlights t…
RIE : revista de investigación educativa
2011
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the type of self-concept (academic and general) and extracurricular activities on academic performance among primary school students (N = 1708), and to determine the differences of this relationship in terms of gender. We used a cluster sampling stratified into two stages and gave standardized achievement tests and ad-hoc instrument designed for academic and general self-concept and extracurricular activities. The results showed that respondents who engaged in academic extracurricular activities such as language and computer performed better in all academic subjects. Those who took music and sports also scored better in some subjects. In co…
Preadolescent EFL learners’ self-efficacy expectancies before and after completion of a grammar task: Multivariate analyses of grade level, gender, a…
2020
Learners’ task-specific self-efficacy expectancies have gained increased attention in the EFL context. Across various competence areas they have been demonstrated to substantially affect learners’ motivation, learning approach, and performance. However, certain research gaps still exist – particularly concerning younger learners’ grammar self-efficacy. Furthermore, though conceptually assumed to play an essential role in learners’ self-efficacy formation and calibration accuracy, little is empirically known about task completion effects. The same applies to the role of grade level and gender differences in lower secondary EFL classrooms. Against this background, the present study addressed …
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN ADOLESCENCE LEVELS CHANGES AND FACTORS OF INFLUENCE
2021
Physical activity (PA) is considered a health imperative, so it is understandable that physical inactivity imposes a serious health threat. The fact that alarming decline in physical activity levels (PALs) occurs in adolescence is particularly concerning. Accordingly, the dissertation deals with PA issues among adolescents in regular conditions and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Generally, changes and correlates of the PALs in the period from 14 to 18 years of age and in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic are investigated. Four presented studies analyze the specified problems in adolescents from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and are among the first studies that examined this issue in S…
