Effects of Age and Gender in Emotion Regulation of Children and Adolescents
2020
Emotional regulation, understood as the skills and strategies needed to influence and/or modify the emotional experiences, has a very remarkable implication within numerous emotional and behavioral disorders in childhood and adolescence. In recent years there has been a significant increase in research on emotional regulation, however, the results are still divergent in terms of differences in emotional regulation in relation to age and gender. This study aimed to assess emotional regulation in adolescents in relation to their age and gender. Two hundred and fifty-four adolescents from eight schools in the Valencian Community and aged between 9 and 16 years participated in the study. The ad…

Employment and Local Development Policies as Instruments of Social Inclusion: An Empirical Evaluation of Their Scope
2012
¿Podemos afirmar que las políticas activas por y para el empleo y el desarrollo local son verdaderas políticas de lucha contra la pobreza y la exclusión social, o tan sólo son actuaciones de evitación de estas? A partir de algunos de los resultados más destacados obtenidos en una investigación en curso en la Universitat de València, el presente artículo pretende realizar una aproximación empírica al estado de la cuestión aportando una serie de factores para el debate, tales como: el verdadero grado de intervención social que plantean las políticas activas de empleo, lo estático del modelo, la repetitividad casi automática de los programas en los que se materializan las mismas, la falta de a…
End-of-Life Care in High-Grade Glioma Patients. The Palliative and Supportive Perspective.
2018
High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are the most frequently diagnosed primary brain tumors. Even though it has been demonstrated that combined surgical therapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy improve survival, HGGs still harbor a very poor prognosis and limited overall survival. Differently from other types of primary neoplasm, HGG manifests also as a neurological disease. According to this, palliative care of HGG patients represents a peculiar challenge for healthcare providers and caregivers since it has to be directed to both general and neurological cancer symptoms. In this way, the end-of-life (EOL) phase of HGG patients appears to be like a journey through medical issues, progressive neurologic…
Deliberate Play and Preparation Jointly Benefit Motor and Cognitive Development: Mediated and Moderated Effects
2016
In light of the interrelation between motor and cognitive development and the predictive value of the former for the latter, the secular decline observed in motor coordination ability as early as preschool urges identification of interventions that may jointly impact motor and cognitive efficiency. The aim of this study was twofold. It (1) explored the outcomes of enriched physical education, centered on deliberate play and cognitively challenging variability of practice, on motor coordination and cognitive processing; (2) examined whether motor coordination outcomes mediate intervention effects on children’s cognition, while controlling for moderation by lifestyle factors as outdoor play h…
Sit-stand workstations : effects on occupational sitting time, potential health benefits, and acute postural physiology
2017
Given that a high amount of sedentary behavior is a global health issue, reducing sitting time is emerging as a novel intervention strategy and a workplace health priority. Sit-stand workstations have been introduced to the workplace, and can be used to rotate between sitting and standing postures at work. It is important to develop and evaluate sit-stand interventions that aim to induce behavioral changes and potential health benefits, in order to effectively implement them into practice. Therefore, this thesis examined whether and to what extent sit-stand workstations can reduce occupational sitting and improve health indexes in a real workplace. The thesis included four studies in field …
Combining Numerical Relational and Fundamental Motor Skills to Improve Preschoolers’ Early Numeracy : A Pilot Intervention Study
2022
The aim of this pilot study was to examine the immediate and long-term effects of an intervention program that aims to improve preschoolers' (Le but de cette étude pilote était d'examiner les effets immédiats et à long terme d'un programme d'intervention qui vise à améliorer les compétences précoces en numératie des enfants d'âge préscolaire (N = 36, M = 4.49 ans, SD = 0.35) en combinant l'apprentissage des compétences par la lecture d'histoires avec la pratique des habiletés motrices fondamentales. Le programme d'intervention a été piloté avec deux plans d'étude : un plan à mesures répétées intra-sujet avec 18 enfants (étude I) et un plan d'étude quasiexpérimental avec 18 enfants (étude II…
Revista electrónica interuniversitaria de formación del profesorado
2016
La realidad socioeducativa actual demanda de los profesionales de la educación una intervención comprometida y coherente para el desarrollo de competencias y habilidades emocionales. Es necesario complementar lo académico y cuantificable con aquello que sobrepasa las barreras del centro e influye en el rendimiento y desarrollo personal y social del alumnado. Las relaciones que se dan entre los componentes de la triada emoción, pensamiento y acción regulan cada momento de nuestros días, pudiéndose ver estas alteradas negativamente por estímulos externos que en ocasiones, no somos capaces de gestionar adecuadamente. Esta incorrecta gestión emocional tiene su base en un creciente analfabetismo…
Ethnographic Interventions: A Strategy and Experiments in Mapping Sociospatial Practices
2007
A growing awareness exists of the possibilities of architectural research adopting working methods used by artists. Many artists have adapted ethnographic methodologies to map site specificity and issues related to community and sociospatial practices. This paper draws on related examples of art practice to formulate a specific research strategy: ethnographic intervention. Ethnographic intervention has three characteristics: (a) ethnographic mapping of spatial practices on site, (b) the possibility of a horizontal replication of the study, and (c) an intervention protocol. We define ethnographic mapping as a critical process directed towards a specific cultural, social, or architectural sit…
