Adicciones y contexto sociocultural: perspectivas psicosociológicas críticas
2007
De cara a la comprensión del actual consumo juvenil de sustancias psicoactivas, en este trabajo se pretende entender de una forma adecuada y profunda tanto el consumo de drogas como la finalidad última de las campañas antidroga. Para ello se considera fundamental distinguir los diferentes tipos de consumo adictivo y, sobre todo, tener muy presente el contexto sociocultural en que ha tenido y sigue teniendo lugar tal consumo. Finalmente, se pretende utilizar el anterior análisis psicosociológico para desenmascarar los fines políticos y de control social que a menudo tienen las campañas antidrogas, que, por tanto, se convierten en verdaderas cruzadas contra el toxicómano, generalmente joven, …
El tiempo libre educativo como ámbito de prevención
2003
En este texto se hace una breve presentación del tiempo libre como ámbito educación no formal desde su surgimiento hasta la actualidad. El tiempo libre educativo está considerado como una de las propuestas de animación socio-cultural más estructuradas para la infancia y juventud aunque en la última década esté sufriendo, junto con otros movimientos sociales, las consecuencias de una sociedad más individualista y desestructurada socialmente.Así mismo el tiempo libre educativo se presenta como ámbito de prevención, aunque no sea uno de sus objetivos principales, para un problema que, a lo largo del articulo,definimos como la consecuencia de una situación de injusticia social sobre personas y …
Psychometric properties of measures of sociocultural influence and internalization of appearance ideals across eight countries
2020
The aim of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of two well-established measures of sociocultural influence and internalization of the thin/low body fat ideal and muscular ideal. Data from 6272 emerging adults (68.9 % female), aged 18-30 years from Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.S. were included in this study. Participants completed measures of pressure from mother, fathers, peers, and media, to both increase muscles and lose weight, as well as internalization of the thin/low body fat ideal and muscular ideal. Overall, support for partial invariance was found across the scales. In addition, group level differences were found between…
The emergence and adaptive use of prestige in an online social learning task
2020
AbstractPrestige-biased social learning occurs when individuals preferentially learn from others who are highly respected, admired, copied, or attended to in their group. This form of social learning is argued to reflect novel forms of social hierarchy in human societies, and, by providing an efficient short-cut to acquiring adaptive information, underpin the cumulative cultural evolution that has contributed to our species’ ecological success. Despite these potentially important consequences, little empirical work to date has tested the basic predictions of prestige-biased social learning. Here we provide evidence supporting the key predictions that prestige-biased social learning is used …
More than a leap of faith: the impact of biological and religious correlates on reproductive behavior.
2004
Using a conceptual model that integrates both social and biomedical factors of causation, this paper tries to delineate the pathways through which the reproductive characteristics of a multidenominational community are characterized. In total, 5513 historical entries from family reconstitution were available. Selection of data was guided by the inclusion of information about religious affiliation. Only married couples with children as well as single mothers with the relevant information were considered. Of these, 1855 entries were of Roman Catholic (C), 1143 of Lutheran/Protestant (L/P2), and 609 of Reformed Calvinist (R) denomination. The analysis documented differential nuptiality and fer…
God, Faith, and Death: The Impact of Biological and Religious Correlates on Mortality
2004
Marked denominational mortality differentials have been documented for various time periods and geographic locations. From a historical perspective, death rates among Catholics are often found to be higher than those among Protestants or Jews. Using a conceptual model based on the life history approach, biomedical and sociocultural factors of causation are extrapolated. In total, 5513 historical entries from family reconstitution were available. Selection of data was guided by the inclusion of information about religious affiliation. Only married couples with children as well as single mothers were considered. Of these, 1855 entries were of Roman Catholic (C), 1143 of Lutheran/Protestant (L…
Influence of sociocultural factors on the ovulatory status of polycystic ovary syndrome.
2009
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of social and cultural differences inside the same ethnic group on the ovulatory status of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). DESIGN: To correlate social and cultural status with the phenotypic expression (body weight and ovulation) and with androgen and insulin levels of PCOS. SETTING: University department of medicine. PATIENT(S): Two hundred and forty-four consecutive PCOS women. INTERVENTION(S): All studied patients completed a simple questionnaire to indicate their mean family income and their school education. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Ovulation was assessed by measurement of serum progesterone on day 22 of a spontaneous or induced menstrual cy…
The role of dispositional and social factors in Argentinian and Spanish women's sexuality
2019
This study examines the role of sociocultural and dispositional factors in the sexual expressions of young Argentinian and Spanish women. Three hundred young women self-evaluated their sexual practices, sexual orientation, and relationships. Results reveal differences in women's sexuality based on societal and dispositional variables. The latter seem to play a more important role in those sexual behaviors that are normative in Hispanic traditions, whereas gender dissimilarity is more relevant when these behaviors are socially censured. Therefore, women's sexuality in Hispanic traditions, such as in Argentina and Spain, seems to be more complex than past studies reported.
