Tratamiento psicológico de los trastornos emocionales en Atención Primaria: el manual de tratamiento transdiagnóstico del estudio PsicAP
2018
Resumen Una parte sustancial de las consultas de Atencion Primaria (AP) tiene como motivo principal algun tipo de trastorno emocional, especialmente los relacionados con la depresion, la ansiedad y las somatizaciones. Estos trastornos mentales mas comunes tienen altos costes para los afectados y para la sociedad en general. Pese a la existencia de terapias psicologicas que han demostrado ser eficaces para esos trastornos, rara vez se utilizan en el primer nivel asistencial. El objetivo del proyecto de Psicologia en Atencion Primaria (PsicAP) es demostrar la eficacia de una terapia de cognitivo-conductual grupal transdiagnostica para tratar los trastornos emocionales mas frecuentes en AP. Es…
Tratamiento psicológico de los trastornos emocionales en atención primaria: fundamentos teóricos y empíricos del estudio PsicAP
2017
Resumen El proyecto Psicologia en Atencion Primaria (PsicAP) pretende promover el tratamiento psicologico basado en la evidencia para los trastornos emocionales en atencion primaria. Este trabajo presenta los fundamentos teoricos y empiricos del programa de tratamiento de PsicAP, destacando 4 aspectos clave: la evidencia sobre la eficacia del tratamiento cognitivo-conductual, el modelo de tratamiento escalonado, el enfoque transdiagnostico y el formato de tratamiento grupal. Por ultimo, se destacan las implicaciones practicas de esta iniciativa que puede ayudar a reducir la distancia entre la investigacion sobre la eficacia de los tratamientos psicologicos y la practica clinica, asi como la…

Suggestions for revised scoring of the Tower of Hanoi test
2000
Detailed time and error analyses of the Tower of Hanoi (TOH) test was performed using four repeated assessments of eight children (ages 9-12 years), who had perceptual and problem solving deficits. The time before each move was measured. In addition to the traditionally counted time scores, new, relative time scores were computed in order to separate the planning time from the general reaction speed. New error scores were defined and sum scores of serious errors (perserative moves, illegal moves, and wrong results) and mild errors (self-corrected moves, almost performed moves, and interrupted trials) were computed. The relative planning time correlated positively with the achieved score, a…
The Breast Size Satisfaction Survey (BSSS): Breast size dissatisfaction and its antecedents and outcomes in women from 40 nations
2020
The Breast Size Satisfaction Survey (BSSS) was established to assess women's breast size dissatisfaction and breasted experiences from a cross-national perspective. A total of 18,541 women were recruited from 61 research sites across 40 nations and completed measures of current-ideal breast size discrepancy, as well as measures of theorised antecedents (personality, Western and local media exposure, and proxies of socioeconomic status) and outcomes (weight and appearance dissatisfaction, breast awareness, and psychological well-being). in the total dataset, 47.5 % of women wanted larger breasts than they currently had, 23.2 % wanted smaller breasts, and 29.3 % were satisfied with their curr…
Is Small Still Beautiful for the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire? Novel Findings Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling.
2020
Article first published online: June 17, 2018 During the present decade a large body of research has employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the factor structure of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) across multiple languages and cultures. However, because CFA can produce strongly biased estimations when the population cross-loadings differ meaningfully from zero, it may not be the most appropriate framework to model the SDQ responses. With this in mind, the current study sought to assess the factorial structure of the SDQ using the more flexible exploratory structural equation modeling approach. Using a large-scale Spanish sample composed of 67,253 youths ag…
The Role of Work-Nonwork Boundary Management in Work Stress Recovery
2016
The aim of the present study conducted among 1,106 Finnish employees was to identify boundary management profiles based on cross-role interruption behaviors from work to nonwork and from nonwork to work. Adopting a person-oriented approach through latent profile analysis, 5 profiles were identified: Work Guardians (21% of the employees), Nonwork Guardians (14%), Integrators (25%), Separators (18%), and an Intermediate Group (22%). We then examined differences between these profiles with respect to recovery experiences ( psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experiences, and control during off-job time) and recovery outcomes (vigor and exhaustion). Work Guardians had the po…
Validation of the Short Dark Triad in a German Sample
2021
Abstract. The structure, correlates, and assessment of the Dark Triad are widely discussed in several fields of psychology. Based on the German version of the Short Dark Triad (SDT), we add to this by (a) providing a competitive test of existing structural models, (b) testing the nomological network, and (c) proposing an ultrashort 9-item version of the SDT (uSDT). A sample of N = 969 participants provided data on the SDT and a range of further measures. Our competitive test of five structural models revealed that fit indices and nomological network assumptions were best met in a three-factor model, with separate factors for psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism. The results provid…
A reliability generalization meta‐analysis of self‐report measures of muscle dysmorphia
2020
This study is a reliability generalization meta‐analysis that reviews continuous measures used to assess muscle dysmorphia (MD): The Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale, Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder Inventory, four different versions of the Muscle Dysmorphia Inventory, Adonis Complex Questionnaire, and the Modified Dysmorphia Symptoms Questionnaire. A total of 15,156 individuals from 61 studies provided 73 reliability estimates (alpha coefficients and/or test–retest reliability coefficients) for this meta‐analysis. Random‐ and mixed‐effects models were applied in the statistical analyses. We present the average reliability estimates for each measure, moderator analysis of reliability estimat…
Consensus statement on the problem of terminology in psychological interventions using the internet or digital components
2020
Since the emergence of psychological interventions delivered via the Internet they have differed in numerous ways. The wealth of formats, methods, and technological solutions has led to increased availability and cost-effectiveness of clinical care, however, it has simultaneously generated a multitude of terms. With this paper, we first aim to establish whether a terminology issue exists in the field of Internet-delivered psychological interventions. If so, we aim to determine its implications for research, education, and practice. Furthermore, we intend to discuss solutions to mitigate the problem; in particular, we propose the concept of a common glossary. We invited 23 experts in the fie…
