Push factors are psychological benefits that individuals perceive they will gain from attending events, such as entertainment, socialization and esca…

Subjectivity in a therapeutic process as a predictor of psychotherapeutic success
2014
Reflections on the uniquely human dimensions of behavior over the last few decades have become a meeting space connecting different sciences. The holistic health model emphasizes the subjectivity of man. Humans are open and active, and remain in relationships with others; they relate to the world they live in and seek meaning. Subjectivity in the psychological perspective can be described in three ways: subjectivity as identity, individuality, specific experience of self; subjectivity as the ability to initiate, regulate, direct, and realize goal-oriented and autonomous activity; subjectivity as the application of one’s own system of values. Subjectivity or causality (core features agency) …
Lesions of the dopaminergic innervation of the nucleus accumbens medial shell delay the generation of preference for sucrose, but not of sexual phero…
2011
Male sexual pheromones are rewarding stimuli for female mice, able to induce conditioned place preference. To test whether processing these natural reinforcing stimuli depends on the dopaminergic innervation of the nucleus accumbens, as for other natural rewards, we compare the effects of specific lesions of the dopaminergic innervation of the medial shell of the nucleus accumbens on two different appetitive behaviours, ‘pheromone seeking’ and sucrose preferential intake. Female mice, with no previous experience with either adult male chemical stimuli or with sucrose, received injections of 6-hydroxydopamine (or vehicle) in the medial shell of the accumbens. Then, we analyzed their preferen…
Cross-cultural analysis of teacher confirmation, student motivation, classroom emotion and emotional interest in China, Korea and Japan
2016
This study investigates the relationship between teacher confirmation and student motivation across three cultures: China, Korea, and Japan and studies how classroom emotion and emotional interest influence this relationship in three different countries. Students in China (n=718), Korea (n=362), and Japan (n=350) completed questionnaires assessing their perceived teacher confirmation, student motivation, classroom emotion and emotional interest. Results of these samples indicate that teacher confirmation is positively correlated with student motivation in Korea and Japan. There is also a significant difference in these three groups on teacher confirmation, emotional support and emotional wo…

Children’s reading skills were assessed with the word reading fluency test, and their interest in reading was assessed with self-reports. Also, teachers evaluated each child’s level of reading and spelling skills and reported the lev…

Más allá de la disciplina académica: algunas consideraciones para el desarrollo en los procesos educativos
2020
Erróneamente se cree que enseñar es una actividad sencilla en la que solo basta con conocer la materia y algo de experiencia. Desconociendo los conocimientos pedagógicos y didácticos propios de la docencia y de otras áreas como la psicología cognitiva y la sociología, que facultan para ejercer de una manera profesional la enseñanza. Por otra parte, se desconoce la evolución en las prácticas y necesidades educativas del mundo contemporáneo que van más allá de un conocimiento disciplinar. En este trabajo se describen algunos factores a tener en cuenta para el desarrollo de la profesión docente, al existir una relación multidimensional (normativa, emocional, intersubjetiva), centrada en objeti…
