2007
Abstract This study examined screen media time usage (SMTU) and its association with personal and socioeconomic factors, as well as the effect of season and type of day, in a Spanish sample of 12–16 year-old school adolescents (N = 323). The research design was a cross-sectional survey, in which an interviewer-administered recall questionnaire was used. Statistical analyses included repeated measures analyses of variance, analysis of covariance and structural equation models. Results showed an average of 2.52 h per day of total SMTU and partial times of 1.73 h per day in TV viewing, 0.27 h per day in computer/videogames, and 0.52 h per day in mobile use. Four significant predictors of SMTU …
Responsabilidad social universitaria: influencia de valores y empatía en la autoatribución de comportamientos socialmente responsables
2014
ResumenLa formación de profesionales socialmente responsables en la universidad se ha convertido en una misión reconocida por la UNESCO. El artículo realiza una revisión del estudio de la responsabilidad social universitaria desde la psicología, y desarrolla una propuesta novedosa de análisis para evaluar la incidencia de la educación superior en adquirir comportamientos de responsabilidad social, basada en un análisis de ecuaciones estructurales de múltiples indicadores y múltiples causas. Con base en un muestreo no probabilístico accidental y un diseño de investigación de encuesta de carácter transversal, se administraron tres escalas: de valores humanos, de empatía multidimensional y de …
Effect of the pacing strategy during half-duration resistance test on the mechanic, metabolic and cardio-respiratory response
2017
Objective: Changes in pacing rhythm are translated into functional and metabolic changes that can be significantly reflected in the final results of an athlete. Method: Ten male subjects, with moderate performance level (age: 25.2 ± 2.2 years; VO2max: 56.9 ± 5.7 ml kgâ1 minâ1), performed four 5-min races with different pacing strategies: constant-pace (CP), record-pace (RP), kicker-pace (KP), incremental-pace (IP). Results: The cardio-respiratory response did not show statistically significant. There were statistically significant differences (p â¤Â 0.05) in the energetic efficiency among the protocols CP vs. RP, CP vs. KP and RP vs. IP. When results were analyzed by partials (1-m…

Representación escolar de los espacios rurales: una investigación didáctica mediante métodos mixtos
2021
Los espacios rurales son objeto de representación histórica desde un relato homogéneo que no ha sido cuestionado en la geografía escolar y afecta a las explicaciones que realiza el alumnado de Educación Secundaria y Bachillerato. La teoría de las representaciones sociales y su relación con el espacio subjetivo permiten comprender las concepciones escolares del alumnado de diez centros escolares de la provincia de Valencia (España) acerca de los espacios rurales. Mediante un enfoque dual (estructural y procesual) que se acompaña de técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas aplicadas al campo de la didáctica de las ciencias sociales se pretende diagnosticar los elementos que forman la cosmovisión…
Health Information Seeking Among University Students Before and During the Corona Crisis—Findings From Germany
2021
Health information-seeking behavior is the process of gathering information about health and disease and can be influential for health-related perception and behavior. University students are an important target group for prevention and health promotion and largely belong to an age group that is considered to play a leading role in propagating the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Germany. The paper deals with students' health information-seeking behavior before and during the corona crisis, aiming to give insights into its determinants and implications. Using the example of a large German comprehensive university and based on two cross-sectional surveys in the summer of 2019 (n = 4,351) and 2020 (n =…
Costruire apprendimento e partecipazione a scuola:da studenti unteachables a comunità di motivated learners
2020
Education of the future is a central theme in many debates nowadays. This paper focuses on the question what knowledge and skills are most relevant to prepare students for a rapidly changing society and if schools are able to respond effectively to costant transformation driven by technological innovation. While the school systemis involved in a modification process that concerns its core contents, new “wired” generations of students from lower secondary education are labelled as difficult to teach or even “unteachables”, students who are losing interest in academic learning, who are not motivated or responsible for their learning processes. The contribution examines the activities of an on…
Usage and Dose Response of a Mobile Acceptance and Commitment Therapy App: Secondary Analysis of the Intervention Arm of a Randomized Controlled Trial
2016
Background: Mobile phone apps offer a promising medium to deliver psychological interventions. A mobile app based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was developed and studied in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Objective: To study usage metrics of a mobile ACT intervention and dose-response relationship between usage and improvement in psychological flexibility. Methods: An RCT was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of different lifestyle interventions for overweight people with psychological stress. This paper presents a secondary analysis of the group that received an 8-week mobile ACT intervention. Most of the analyzed 74 participants were female (n=64, 86%). Their me…

A multinational study exploring adolescent perception of school climate and mental health.
2021
School climate is a topic of increasing importance internationally. The current study investigated the established measurement invariance of an eight-factor school climate scale using a multinational sample of secondary students. School climate factor means across 14 international groups were compared and findings on the association between school climate factors and mental health were also investigated. Findings, from this study, illustrate several cross-national similarities regarding the ways in which secondary students perceive school climate and the influence of school climate on student mental health. These findings can support school psychologists' efforts to identify strategies and …
