Comunicación digital y líneas de fractura en el paradigma de la agenda setting
2006
En: Doxa Comunicación : revista interdisciplinar de estudios de comunicación y ciencias sociales. ISSN 1696-019X n. IV, 2006, pp 37-58 Propone realizar una prospectiva que arroje alguna luz sobre las modificaciones que puede sufrir la teoría de la Agenda Setting, e incluso, eventualmente, su superación, por efecto del desarrollo de los sistemas de comunicación digital. La hipótesis de la que partimos es la de que, si bien la multiplicación y diversificación de medios de comunicación provocada por las tecnologías digitales no tiene por qué haber supuesto, hasta el momento, una diversificación de similar calado en lo que concierne a los temas de interés informativo sancionados por los medios,…
Personality functioning as a mediator of adult mental health following child maltreatment.
2021
Abstract Background The broad range of adverse health outcomes following child maltreatment (child maltreatment) underscores the need to investigate shared trajectories that contribute to associated physical and mental health problems. Previous research focused on different mechanisms, such as emotion regulation or attachment. In the present study, we propose personality functioning, comprising self- and interpersonal regulation and perception, to mediate between child maltreatment and mental and physical health. Methods In a German representative sample (N = 2,508), we assessed remembered child maltreatment, levels of personality functioning, and different health outcomes in adulthood, nam…
Emotional–Behavioral Disorders in Healthy Siblings of Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
2020
Background and Objectives: Siblings of disabled children are more at risk of developing mental illnesses. More than 50 international studies show that about 8% of children and adolescents suffer from a mental disorder, which is almost always a source of difficulties both at the interpersonal level (in the family and with peers) and at school. Healthy siblings of children with disabilities are one of the groups most at risk for consequences in psychological health and well-being. As some authors suggest, siblings build their idea of &ldquo
Empirically-derived subgroups of Facebook users and their association with personality characteristics: a Latent Class Analysis
2018
Abstract In recent years, considerable research effort has been directed at the identification of relationships between psychological variables and Facebook usage indicators. However, the identification of homogeneous subgroups of individuals based on similar Facebook usage characteristics still presents a challenge. This study aims: (1) to empirically determine homogeneous groups of Facebook users based on variables regarding their personal experience on Facebook, by using a Latent Class Analysis; and (2) to examine the association between an individual's personality and interpersonal characteristics and the empirically-derived profiles of Facebook usage. Eight hundred and eleven Facebook …
Intercultural Workplace Communication
2017
The workplace is a highly meaningful context for intercultural communication where persons who come from different countries, identify with different ethnic groups or speak different languages get to collaborate and develop relationships with one another. Needless to say, interpersonal communication in the workplace has always been a primary area of interest for intercultural communication research. Early scholarship focused on the preparation of U.S. military personnel, diplomats, business people, and missionaries for overseas assignments. However, the increasing pluralization of the social landscape has bolstered research endeavors. These days, the scope of intercultural workplace communi…
Do women have a hidden heat period?
2002
This article aims to throw light on the controversial topic of whether women have a 'heat' period within their menstrual cycle. The majority of publications in this field report, in addition to a periovulatory peak, no changes at all or even rises in male- and female-initiated sexual activity, woman's sexual desire, autosexual activity and sexual arousability, and interpersonal sexual activities during the mid-follicular and late luteal phases. The lack of a distinct pattern of women's sexual behaviour across the menstrual cycle may be explained by the interplay between cyclical endocrine fluctuations and many psychological, social, cultural and environmental factors, as well as the methodo…
Resources to cope with stigma related to HIV status, gender identity, and sexual orientation in gay men and transgender women
2017
The stigma related to HIV status, gender identity, and sexual orientation has negative implications for the quality of life of individuals. A qualitative study was conducted to explore the resources that these stigmatized groups recognize as tools to cope with stigma and maintain their psychological well-being. Four focus groups were conducted with gay men and transgender women divided by HIV status. A thematic analysis revealed that individual, interpersonal, and institutional resources are commonly recognized as coping resources. This article discusses the importance of enhancing self-acceptance, social support, and a legal framework that legitimizes these groups as right holders.
Learning and Synchronising Dance Movements in South African Songs – Cross-cultural Motion-capture Study
2011
Music and dance are human universals. Understanding the communicative nature and the interpersonal dynamics of making music and dancing has a wide area of applications from academic to artistic, educational and therapeutic uses. Cross-cultural and embodied cognitive approaches are important, as they ensure a view across a spectrum of cultural practices and allow us to explore which aspects of cognitive performance are learned and how. In this study, our aims were to use a case study to investigate possible cross-cultural differences in movement, especially corporeal representation of beat and metre; to study group entrainment and factors contributing to synchronisation accuracy. From earli…
LA INCLUSIÓN DEL MÉDICO EN LA FORMACIÓN DEL INTÉRPRETE EN EL ÁMBITO SANITARIO
2017
La experiencia docente que describimos en este artículo propone la adquisición y desarrollo de destrezas interpretativas a través de cuatro sesiones teórico-prácticas sobre interpretación en los servicios públicos (ISP). Su particularidad reside en integrar a un profesional del ámbito médico-sanitario en el proceso de aprendizaje, que se perfecciona mediante role plays en el aula. Su colaboración desinteresada, activa y participativa estuvo presente desde la elección de los casos que se abordaron en clase derivados de sus experiencias con pacientes extranjeros, hasta la asunción del papel que habitualmente desempeñan en su trabajo en los ejercicios de simulación con los alumnos. La interacc…
Outcomes of teacher education in Finland: subject teachers compared with primary teachers
2019
An exit survey performed for graduating students is an economical way to assess the outcomes of teacher education. In this study, exit survey data were collected from eight cohorts of Finnish student teachers who graduated between the years 2008 and 2015. A final sample consisted of 1102 preservice primary and subject teachers. A 10-item scale based on INTASC standards of teacher competency was used to measure graduates’ satisfaction regarding the knowledge and experience they had attained. This paper concentrates especially on the results of subject teachers and comparisons between the two teacher categories. The profile of the participants was uneven across domains. The highest means were…
