Adaptation and Initial Validation of the BRCS in an Elderly Spanish Sample
2012
Resilience is understood as a dynamic process encompassing positive adaptation within the context of adversity. This study examined the validity of the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), a 4-item measure designed to capture tendencies to cope with stress in a highly adaptive manner, in an elderly Spanish population. A total of 133 elderly people from an association of retired persons in Valencia (Spain) provided the responses for the validation study. The factorial validity of the scale was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, with a single dimension of resilience with adequate fit indexes emerging from this analysis. The BRCS has adequate internal consistency both at the scale and…

L'Espagne, un nouveau pays d'immigration : l'exemple des immigrées roumaines (analyse comparative)
2013
This survey focuses on the immigration phenomenon in Spain and its impact on contemporary Spanish society. Studying how numerous immigrants have been settling in Spain is a way to account for the evolution of Spanish society: on the one hand by analysing how and why a country that traditionally used to export its labour-force could attract immigrants; and on the other hand by examining how Spain has been managing these influxes. This phenomenon shall be approached thanks to the case of Romanian women. For the last couple of years, Romanians have been the largest group of foreign nationals in Spain. I shall herein set to describe the various stages and characteristics of Romanian immigration…
La articulación de los sonidos en la lexicografía del español (siglos XIX y XX)
2010
En los artículos dedicados a las letras del alfabeto en la lexicografía del español aparecen, junto a otras informaciones de tipo enciclopédico, descripciones de la articulación de los sonidos y de su ortografía en una tradición que arranca del Tesoro de Covarrubias. Asimismo, para el siglo XVIII, desde una perspectiva ortográfica, se ha examinado la información fonética que aparece en el Diccionario de Autoridades o en el de Terreros (Martínez Alcalde 2010a) y, dentro de las obras académicas, el período comprendido entre el Diccionario de Autoridades (DA) y el Diccionario de la lengua castellana o (DRAE) de 1817 cuenta con el estudio de Pozuelo (1989), que establece con precisión el origen…
Encuestas a pie de urna en España. ¿Error muestral o sesgo de no respuesta?
2016
Countless examples of misleading forecasts on behalf of both pre-election and exit polls can be found all over the world. Non-representative samples due to differential nonresponse have been claimed as being the main reason for inaccurate exit-poll projections. In real inference problems, it is seldom possible to compare estimates and true values. Electoral forecasts are an exception. Comparisons between estimates and final outcomes can be carried out once votes have been tallied. In this paper, we examine the raw data collected in seven exit polls conducted in Spain and test the likelihood that the data collected in each sampled voting location can be considered as a random sample of actua…

Religious Self-definition, Mass Attendance, Importance of God, and Hopelessness among Spanish Undergraduates
2011
The aim of this work was to examine the relationship between religious self-definition, attending Mass, the importance of God, and hopelessness under the hy-pothesis that these religious variables and hopelessness are negatively related. The par-ticipants were 273 Spanish undergraduates who were incidentally recruited. and who completed three religious items and the Spanish version of a Hopelessness Scale. The Chi-squared test and Bonferroni test were used in the statistical analysis. The results indicate that there were no statistically significant differences between the religious self-definition and attending Mass groups in relation to hopelessness, whereas there were differences between…
