Parenting and adolescent adjustment: The mediational role of family self-esteem
2021
The present study analyzes the relationship between parental socialization practices, acceptance/involvement, and strictness/ imposition, and different indicators of adolescent adjustment, taking into account the role of family self-esteem. A sample of 848 Spanish adolescents (54.70% females) ranging in age from 14 to 18 years old (M = 16.11, SD = 1.10) participated in the study. A series of structural equations models (SEMs) were tested to examine the mediational role of family self-esteem in the relationship between parenting practices and the outcome variables that capture adolescent adjustment: emotional instability, antisocial behavior, and academic achievement. The influence of parent…
The effects of 8-weeks Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program on cognitive control: an EEG study
2019
Objectives: Mindfulness practice can enhance different aspects of attentional functions, such as the ability to sustain the attentional focus over time. However, it is still unclear whether this practice might indeed impact higher cognitive functions, such as control mechanisms that allow the appropriate and flexible allocation of attentional resources. In this longitudinal study, changes associated with a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program were investigated, with a focus on proactive and reactive cognitive control mechanisms, namely, the ability to maintain task-relevant information and to prepare in advance the response, and the ability to promptly adjust overlearned behavi…
The Influence of Retention, Turnover, and Alliance on Process and Outcomes in Rolling Group Psychotherapy for Cocaine Disorder
2016
ABSTRACTA longitudinal repeated measures design was used to investigate the influence of treatment retention, and membership turnover on individual outcomes, and the relationship between individual-level and group-level therapeutic alliance in rolling group psychotherapy for individuals with cocaine abuse disorder. Eighteen patients were studied; data were collected prior to therapy and then monthly for 24 months. Patient outcomes and process were assessed. Improvements in symptoms and psychological functioning were associated with retention in psychotherapy. Membership turnover had a negative influence on symptoms. Development of an individual alliance was affected by the development of gr…
Narcissistic Traits and Explicit Self-Esteem: The Moderating Role of Implicit Self-View
2016
Objective: Whilst the relationship between narcissism and self-esteem has been studied for a long time, findings are still controversial. The majority of studies investigated narcissistic grandiosity, neglecting the existence of vulnerable manifestations of narcissism. Moreover, recent studies have shown that grandiosity traits are not always associated with inflated explicit self-esteem. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between narcissistic traits and explicit self-esteem, distinguishing between grandiosity and vulnerability. Moreover, we consider the role of implicit self-esteem in qualifying these associations. Method: Narcissistic traits, explicit and impl…
The Italian Version of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-32): Psychometric Properties and Factor Structure in Clinical and Non-clinical Gr…
2018
All versions of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) are broadly used to measure people's interpersonal functioning. The aims of the current study are: (a) to examine the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Italian version of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-short version (IIP-32); and (b) to evaluate its associations with core symptoms of different eating disorders. One thousand two hundred and twenty three participants (n = 623 non-clinical and n = 600 clinical participants with eating disorders and obesity) filled out the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-short version (IIP-32) along with measures of self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, RSES), psych…
Examining the relationship between group member gender, gender composition, and outcomes of weight management therapy groups
2017
Presently there is a lack of evidence regarding the impact of gender composition of mixed-gender weight management therapy groups on members' posttreatment outcomes. As such, the current study tested the association between the gender composition of mixed-gender narrative therapy groups for weight management and members' posttreatment outcomes. Specifically, we examined the variability in group members' adjusted posttreatment psychological (Outcome Questionnaire-45 [OQ-45]) and obesity-related (Obesity Related Well-Being [ORWELL 97]) symptoms as a function of the quadratic proportion of female members in a group, and the interaction between group member gender and the quadratic proportion o…
Availability, demand, perceived constraints and disuse of ADAS technologies in Spain: findings from a national study
2019
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), created for enhancing the driving experience and actively preventing road crashes, have been progressively incorporated in vehicle designing essentially during the last decade. However, the literature has shown how some of these assisting technologies are not used by drivers in tandem with their potential. The aims of this study were, first, to examine the availability and demand of ADAS technologies among Spanish drivers and, secondly, to explore the perceived constraints and discouraging reasons for avoiding the use of ADAS available in their vehicles. For this national cross-sectional study, data from 1,207 Spanish drivers were analyzed. The res…
Sobre la naturaleza del ridículo
2011
La presente tesis tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión histórico-filosófica del concepto de ridículo y de sus implicaciones como instrumento político. Primero, sin embargo, debe acotarse lo que se entiende por "ridículo" distinguiéndolo del fenómeno general de la risa: por una parte, aquello que singulariza una situación o un objeto ridículo que mueve a risa; por otra, el tipo específico de burla cómica que constituye la risa ridiculizadora. Una vez establecida esta distinción conceptual y delimitado el objeto de estudio, valiéndose para ello de los discursos filosóficos que han abordado la cuestión, es posible articular sus funciones y efectos en la conducta del sujeto individual y en…
Presupuestos hermenéuticos de la filosofia moral y política de Charles Taylor para una sociedad intercultural.
2009
Dos preguntas atraviesan la investigación desarrollada en el documento de la tesis doctoral: 1) ¿Qué relación guarda Taylor con la hermenéutica filosófica? 2) ¿Ahondar en dicha relación esclarece las tesis éticas y políticas de Taylor haciéndolas más defendibles?Respecto a la primera cuestión sostenemos que existe efectivamente una estrecha relación entre la filosofía de Charles Taylor y la hermenéutica filosófica. En este sentido la primera parte de la tesis "Presupuestos hermenéuticos" se encarga de ir precisando el perfil hermenéutico de su antropología filosófica. Más concretamente encontramos cuatro rasgos característicos: carácter auto-interpretativo del ser humano (capítulo 1), sí mi…
Actividades de la vida diaria y bienestar y su relación con la edad y el género en la vejez
2011
El estudio que se presenta analiza las relaciones entre actividades de la vida diaria y bienestar con la edad y el género en personas mayores. El diseño de investigación fue una encuesta transversal a una muestra de 566 sujetos residentes en la provincia de Valencia (España). Los participantes contestaron a distintas secciones incluyendo ítems sociodemográficos, una medida de actividades de la vida diaria (Índice de Barthel) y las Escalas de Bienestar de Ryff. Los resultados principales con respecto a las actividades de la vida diaria fueron: a) relaciones positivas y sistemáticas con las dimensiones de bienestar; b) relaciones negativas con la edad; c) una media en el Índice de Barthel más…
