Mothers' parenting stress and adolescents' emotional separation: The role of youngsters' self orientation
2015
The study examined the association among mothers’ parenting stress, adolescents’ emotional separation and self-orientation toward connectedness. Participants were 194 Italian adolescents, aged from 15 to 19 years (mean age = 17.39, SD = 1.18), and their mothers, aged from 33 to 64 years (mean age = 44.35, SD = 5.40). General findings showed that adolescents’ emotional separation may not necessarily be associated with their mothers’ parenting stress, but both of these variables may be related to adolescents’ personal characteristics, which may contribute to define parent-child relationship. Particularly, adolescents’ orientation towards a connected self was associated negatively with emotion…
Interpersonal Circumplex Profiles Of Persistent Depression: Goals, Self-Efficacy, Problems, And Effects Of Group Therapy
2016
Objectives We assessed severely and persistently depressed patients’ interpersonal self-efficacy, problems, and goals, plus changes in interpersonal functioning and depression during 20 weeks of group therapy. Method Outpatients (32 female, 26 male, mean age = 45 years) completed interpersonal circumplex measures of goals, efficacy, and problems before completing 20 weeks of manualized group therapy, during which we regularly assessed depression and interpersonal style. Results Compared to normative samples, patients lacked interpersonal agency, including less self-efficacy for expressive/assertive actions; stronger motives to avoid conflict, scorn, and humiliation; and more problems with b…
Análisis de la relación entre la autoeficacia interpersonal del profesorado y sus niveles de burnout
2017
Introducción. Este trabajo se centra en la evaluación y en el análisis de la capacidad predictiva de la autoeficacia interpersonal del profesorado sobre sus niveles de burnout. Se destaca la utilidad del estudio, dada la ausencia en nuestro contexto de instrumentos de evaluación sobre este constructo psicoeducativo, así como el notable impacto de la percepción de nivel de apoyo social y del mantenimiento de relaciones satisfactorias y de ayuda en el trabajo sobre el estrés docente.Método. En el estudio participan 103 profesores de distintos niveles del sistema educativo es-pañol (55 mujeres, 48 hombres, rango de edad: 24-56), a los que se aplicó una adaptación del Teacher Interpersonal Self…
A generalized stage-discharge relationship for sharp-crested power-law weirs by dimensional analysis and self-similarity
2022
Weirs are characterized by a stage-discharge relationship which mainly depends on the shape and dimensions of the hydraulic structure. A weir with symmetrical power-law sides is a versatile weir that can produce some known weir types (rectangular, triangular, parabolic) as special cases. In this paper, the outflow process of sharp-crested power-law weirs is investigated using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. A new generalized theoretical stage-discharge relationship is proposed, and its applicability is tested using measurements available in the literature for different weir types.
A new approach for deducing the stage-discharge relationship of a triangular broad-crested device
2022
In this paper, the outflow process of a triangular broad-crested device is examined using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. A new theoretical stage-discharge relationship is proposed, and its applicability is verified using measurements available in literature. The proposed power equation is characterized by a coefficient depending on device apex angle and a constant value of the exponent.
Deducing the stage-discharge relationship of rectangular broad and sharp-crested contraction devices
2023
Flumes with a local contraction of the channel width are a common way for accurately measuring the flow discharge. In this paper, the outflow process of rectangular broad and sharp-crested contraction devices is modeled using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity condition. The proposed theoretical stage-discharge relationship is tested using measurements available in the literature. The proposed power equation is characterized by a value of the exponent close to 1.5 and a coefficient depending on the contraction ratio. The proposed flow-measuring flumes are characterized by a good accuracy of the measured discharge (ranging from -2.71 to 3.28% for the broad-crested co…
Stage-discharge relationship for an upstream inclined grid with transversal bars
2016
Check dams with grids upgrading upstream are often used in mountain rivers, where intense sediment transport and steep slopes occur. In some cases, sloping grids are used in the construction of debris flow breakers. In this paper, the outflow process of an upstreaminclined grid with transversal bars is studied by using the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. Next, the theoretical analysis shows that a power equation can be used for establishing the stage-discharge equation. The coefficient of the power equation depends on both the slope angle and the void ratio, whereas the exponent depends only on the slope angle. Finally, this deduced stage-discharge relationsh…
Exploring socio-ecological factors influencing active and inactive Spanish students in years 12 and 13
2013
This paper explores socio-ecological factors and their interplay that emerge from a qualitative study and influence adolescents' physical activity and sport participation. A total of 13 boys and 7 girls active and inactive adolescents, from years 12 and 13 and different types of school (state and private), participated in semi-structured interviews. It followed a purposeful sampling selection from participants who participated in a previous larger study on physical activity levels. Findings highlight the influence of personal and social interplay, such as perceived competence, obesity and teasing from peers, and new social demands and personal preferences in adolescents' (dis)engagement in …
Empirically based analysis of methodological and ethical challenges in research with children as participants: the case of bullying in kindergarten
2015
ABSTRACTWhen conducting research with children it is essential to consider not only the data, which have been produced as a result of the research, but also the research process itself. This article represents an attempt to contribute the accumulation of knowledge regarding methodological and ethical issues concerning research with children. The data in this article are based on individual and focus-group interviews with children where ethical and methodical challenges related to dealing with children's experiences in the context of bullying in kindergarten are discussed. The topics that will be discussed related to methodical issues are (1) the nature of interaction between the researcher …
