Factores de riesgo y protección del suicidio en personas mayores: una revisión sistemática
2021
La esperanza de vida se ha incrementado notablemente, no obstante, el suicidio es la principal causa de deceso no natural en la población mayor de 70 años. El objetivo de la presente investigación es revisar sistemáticamente los factores de riesgo y protección en la conducta suicida en personas mayores. Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática desde el enfoque PRISMA utilizando las bases de datos: PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, Google Académico y Dialnet. Se emplearon distintos descriptores en términos DeCS y MeSH con el operador booleano “AND” y, finalmente, teniendo en cuenta los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, obtuvimos 27 artículos. Los estudios revisados muestran que entre los factores de…
A cross-cultural study of behavioral inhibition in toddlers: East-West-North-South
2006
The prevalence of behavioral inhibition in toddlers was examined in five cultures. Participants in this study included 110 Australian, 108 Canadian, 151 Chinese, 104 Italian, and 113 South Korean toddlers and their mothers who were observed during a structured observational laboratory session. Matched procedures were used in each country, with children encountering an unfamiliar stranger with a truck and a robot. Indicators of inhibition included the length of time toddlers delayed before approaching the stranger and the duration of contact with their mother while the stranger was in the room. Results were generally consistent with expectations and showed differences between eastern and we…
Optimistic, Approach‐oriented, and Avoidance Strategies in Social Situations: Three Studies on Loneliness and Peer Relationships
1996
The aim of the three studies was to examine the extent to which the cognitive and behavioural strategies young adults apply in social situations are associated with their subsequent feelings of loneliness, their peer relationships, and social behaviour. In Study 1, 303 young adults first filled in the Strategy and Attribution Questionnaire (SAQ) and, 1 year later, the revised UCLA Loneliness scale. In Study 2, 71 young adults filled in first the SAQ and, 4 months later, the UCLA Loneliness scale and a sociometric questionnaire measuring popularity and unpopularity. In Study 3, 35 young adults who had participated in Study 1 were rated by student tutors according to their social behaviour in…
Loudness Perceptions Influence Feelings of Interpersonal Closeness and Protect Against Detrimental Psychological Effects of Social Exclusion.
2021
We propose that perceptions of auditory loudness and interpersonal closeness are bidirectionally related. Across 12 experiments (total N = 2,219; 10 preregistered; with Singaporean, British, U.S. American, and Australian participants), we demonstrated that louder audio made people feel physically (Study 1a) and socially (Study 1b) closer to others, presumably because loudness activates interpersonal closeness-related concepts implicitly (Studies 1c and 1d). This loudness–interpersonal closeness effect was observed across diverse samples (Studies 2a, 3a, and S1), for longer listening intervals (Study 2b), and in natural settings (Studies 3a and 3b). Conversely, individuals made to feel soci…
The role of online social comparison as a protective factor for psychological wellbeing: A longitudinal study during the COVID-19 quarantine
2021
During the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the experience of quarantine has been an undesirable condition for people and it can have a negative impact on mental health and psychological wellbeing. Social isolation has led to an increase in time spent on social network sites, with people interacting more frequently with each other, and comparing online the way in which they are experiencing the same state of home confinement. Our study aimed to investigate the role of online social comparison on individuals' psychological distress and life satisfaction during the COVID-19-related quarantine. Specifically, a cross-lagged panel study at three-waves was conducted in Italy in order to examine the chan…
Social Reaction Styles, Interpersonal Behaviours and Person Perception: A Multi-Informant Approach
1999
Social strategies and reaction styles have been suggested to play an important role in initiating social relationships and in satisfaction with them. In order to investigate whether they are directly associated with popularity, unpopularity, lone-liness and evaluations about the social climate, or whether their impact is mediated by interpersonal behaviours and person perception, 92 students were asked to complete questionnaires measuring their social reaction styles, their lone-liness, the social climate in the class and their sociometric status. They also rated the behaviour of seven of their classmates, and these ratings were used as indices of social behaviour and person perception. Th…
Apoyo social, empatía y satisfacción con la vida en los diferentes roles de agresor-víctima de acoso escolar
2018
El acoso escolar es una de las principales problemáticas en la adolescencia, con graves consecuencias. En comparación con la gran cantidad de estudios centrados en el rol de víctima pasiva y agresor puro, todavía son escasas las investigaciones centradas en el doble rol de agresor-víctima. Así, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar posibles diferencias en empatía emocional y cognitiva, evaluación de la red social, soledad emocional y satisfacción con la vida entre cinco grupos de adolescentes con diferente implicación en el acoso escolar: “no implicados”, “agresores/víctimas ocasionales”, “víctimas frecuentes”, “agresores frecuentes” y “agresores/víctimas frecuentes”. La muestra est…

Sociometric status of young adults: Behavioural correlates, and cognitive-motivational antecedents and consequences
2001
A cross-lagged longitudinal study was carried out to investigate whether social reaction styles and loneliness serve as antecedents and consequences of sociometric status among young adults. Behavioural correlates of sociometric status were also studied. Questionnaires measuring sociometric ratings, social reaction styles, loneliness, and group atmosphere were ”lled in by 154 students one week after starting at a new school, then half a year later, and ”nally, one year later. In Measurement 2, the participants’ social behaviour was rated by their classmates. The results indicated that social reaction styles, feelings of loneliness, and satisfaction with the group atmosphere prospectively p…

Methods A qualitative phenomenological study was carried out in two Spanish tertiary hospitals. Fourteen midwives were recruited by purposive sampling technique. Data wer…
