Fomento de la atención y la conducta prosocial mediante la enseñanza musical / Promoting attention and prosocial behavior by means of musical teaching
2016
El propósito principal de este artículo es investigar el grado de evolución de la capacidad de atención y de la conducta prosocial en alumnado de segundo curso de primaria mediante la enseñanza de la música. Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental con diversas pruebas que se desarrollaron en 7 sesiones divididas en tres fases: pre-test, intervención y post-test, en las que participaron 24 niños y niñas. Los resultados obtenidos se correspondieron con la hipótesis planteada al reflejar una evolución positiva que nos condujo a concluir que la enseñanza de la música fomenta favorablemente la atención y la conducta prosocial.
Recensión: Ovejero, A. Autogestión en tiempos de crisis. Utilidad de las colectividades libertarias
2018
El libro propone desde la Psicología un aumento de las conductas prosociales enfocadas hacía la justicia, dignidad equidad y bien común y así superar la crisis económica actual. El autor muestra las colectividades españolas como referente para la situación actual. Los recensores conectan esta propuesta con la de Kohlberg para favorecer la construcción de una comunidad moral y una ciudadanía con autonomía moral.
The network of global corporate control.
2011
The structure of the control network of transnational corporations affects global market competition and financial stability. So far, only small national samples were studied and there was no appropriate methodology to assess control globally. We present the first investigation of the architecture of the international ownership network, along with the computation of the control held by each global player. We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions. This core can be seen as an economic “super-entity” that raises new important issues both for researchers and policy make…
What actual life problems relate to gaming disorder? A qualitative study
2022
A lot of research has been carried out regarding people's problematic relationships with videogame play, especially after the WHO added "gaming disorder" in their ICD-11 as a new mental disorder. Nevertheless, very few qualitative studies with actual clinical samples have been published, and in most of them, the "clinical" characteristic of the sample has been defined by help-seeking rather than the problems for which the participants seek help. The goal of this study is to carry out a qualitative investigation regarding the nature of those problems that lead videogame players to seek professional help for their gaming habits. We utilize a template analysis approach to a previously unstudie…
Actitudes de los jóvenes ante situaciones de agravio en el entorno familiar: su relación con el género, la creencia religiosa y el clima social famil…
2015
Los objetivos de este trabajo son desarrollar una adaptación española para jóvenes del Cuestionario de Actitudes ante Situaciones de Agravio en su versión familia (CASA-F; Moreno y Pereyra, 2000), analizar las diferencias en las actitudes ante el agravio en función del género y la creencia religiosa y establecer el poder predictivo del género, la creencia religiosa y el clima social familiar sobre las actitudes ante la ofensa de personas significativas. Los participantes fueron 230 jóvenes (edad media= 21.2), 130 mujeres y 100 hombres, quienes cumplimentaron el cuestionario CASA-F y la escala de Clima Social Familiar de Moos, Moos y Trickett (1995). Respecto al primer objetivo, los resultad…
Do Women Prefer More Complex Music around Ovulation?
2012
The evolutionary origins of music are much debated. One theory holds that the ability to produce complex musical sounds might reflect qualities that are relevant in mate choice contexts and hence, that music is functionally analogous to the sexually-selected acoustic displays of some animals. If so, women may be expected to show heightened preferences for more complex music when they are most fertile. Here, we used computer-generated musical pieces and ovulation predictor kits to test this hypothesis. Our results indicate that women prefer more complex music in general; however, we found no evidence that their preference for more complex music increased around ovulation. Consequently, our f…
Ancient DNA reveals prehistoric gene-flow from Siberia in the complex human population history of North East Europe.
2013
North East Europe harbors a high diversity of cultures and languages, suggesting a complex genetic history. Archaeological, anthropological, and genetic research has revealed a series of influences from Western and Eastern Eurasia in the past. While genetic data from modern-day populations is commonly used to make inferences about their origins and past migrations, ancient DNA provides a powerful test of such hypotheses by giving a snapshot of the past genetic diversity. In order to better understand the dynamics that have shaped the gene pool of North East Europeans, we generated and analyzed 34 mitochondrial genotypes from the skeletal remains of three archaeological sites in northwest Ru…
Psychophysiological effects of oxytocin on parent-child interactions: A literature review on oxytocin and parent-child interactions
2017
Oxytocin (OT), often called the “hormone of love” or “hormone of attachment”, plays a fundamental role in the establishment and quality of parent-infant bonding. However, emerging evidence indicates that OT can also produce antisocial behavior. To clarify these effects, we review studies examining the role of endogenous and exogenous OT on several determinants of attachment: parental sensitivity, and bonding or synchrony in parent–child dyads. Contextual and individual factors moderating the effect of intranasal OT (INOT) and its peripheral levels are also reviewed. Finally, potential therapeutic applications for OT and current limitations in human OT research are examined. This systematic …
No evidence that economic inequality moderates the effect of income on generosity
2019
A landmark study published in PNAS [Côté S, House J, Willer R (2015) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 112:15838–15843] showed that higher income individuals are less generous than poorer individuals only if they reside in a US state with comparatively large economic inequality. This finding might serve to reconcile inconsistent findings on the effect of social class on generosity by highlighting the moderating role of economic inequality. On the basis of the importance of replicating a major finding before readily accepting it as evidence, we analyzed the effect of the interaction between income and inequality on generosity in three large representative datasets. We analyzed the donating behavior of…
Self-reported altruism as predictor for active-empathic listening skills
2020
While there are many consistent results regarding the altruism – empathy relationship, starting with the empathy-altruism hypothesis (Batson, 2008) and its confirmations or criticism, there is one specific aspect of empathy that has not often been associated with generosity: active listening. Our research hypothesizes that sharing one’s attention in an empathic way (active-empathic listening) might be a skill linked to a person’s generosity. A linear regression established that self-reported altruism (SRA) could statistically significantly predict someone’s active-empathic listening skill (AELS), F(1, 96) = 28,965, p = .0001 and that SRA accounted for 22,4% of the explained variability in A…
