The objective of this investigation was to establish a relationship between psychopathic traits and belonging to groups of antinormative peers in a sample of Portuguese adolescents. Were included 517 adolescents from the schools in the north of Portugal, aged between 12 and 18 years. Was used the Escala de Antinormatividade Grupal (EAG) and the Youth Psychopathic Inventory Traits Reconstruted (YPI-RE). The results indicated gender and age influences at the level of the Group Antinormativity and psychopathic traits, and parent´s marital status at the level of psychopathic traits. There was a significant positive correlation between Group Antinormativity and psychopathic traits, and, finally, it was concluded that Irresponsibility, the Search of Danger and to be male predict Group Antinormativity.

The aim of this study is to describe the levels of mental health from the dual factor model in a sample of Argentine adolescents in psychological treatment and in a sample of students. The samples included 552 young people between 12 and 18 years old. The SCL-90-R and the MHC-SF questionnaires were used. The flourishing levels were 31.6% in the sample under psychological treatment and 29% in the student sample. Most of adolescents in both samples fell into the moderate mental health category (treatment 57.9% vs student 59.5%). Between both samples, no significant differences were found in levels of mental health. The flourishing levels were low compared to other countries.

Digital technologies have produced new ways of communication among adolescents, which can be both healthy and dysfunctional. The purpose of this study was to identify frequent uses of social networks and coping strategies for aggressive practice. The participants were 243 students in situation of vulnerability from S. M. de Tucumán (Argentina). More than 70% informed healthy uses, 14% recognised themselves as having cyber aggressive behaviour and 23% as being cyber victims. An analysis by Anova and Bonferroni showed that this group indicated the use of nonproductive strategies such as Self-blaming, Wishful Thinking, Not coping, Keeping to self, Worrying and Tension Reduction. Data confirm a higher psychological vulnerability of adolescents who are victims of cyber aggression to face stressful situations.
