This quantitative-based research determined whether the routine activity theory influences cyber victimization. To measure the dimensions of the theory, defined as exposure to a motivated offender, suitable online target, and absence of a capable guardian, a valid and reliable questionnaire was used. The cyber victimization questionnaire developed by Álvarez-García, Dobarro, and Núñez was applied to 1,285 students selected at random from schools in Colombia. Findings: 46% are identified as exposed to a motivated offender, 37.5% are suitable online targets, and 29.8% have no capable guardians. The interdependence of these three elements revealed that 3.9% of students are at risk due to their routine activities, which had a significant influence on cyber victimization. It is proposed that these findings should be considered in the design of communicative and educational policies aimed at a responsible use of technologies.

The objective of the study was to measure the relationship of personal variables and context with satisfaction with the life and personal well-being of school adolescents in northwestern Mexico. The design is non-experimental ex post facto of transversal type. Two samples of high-low satisfaction with life and personal well-being were compared. Discriminant analyzes and logistic regressions were performed. In the analyzes, the Local Well-being Index, the Family Self-concept and the Social Self-concept result as predictive variables of Personal Well-being, adding to the Neighborhood Attachment in the prediction of Satisfaction with Life. It is concluded that it is important to develop ecological models that include multilevel variables to explain and predict the subjective well-being.

The Truth Commission in Colombia was established based on the transitional justice model. Its function is to serve as a measure of recognition of the violent events during the armed conflict, which has left more than nine million victims. In this scenario, a descriptive correlational study (N=1166) was conducted with a sample of 22 provinces of the country to evaluate the knowledge, approval, and perceived effectiveness of the first years of the Commission from psychosocial aspects: victimization, collective emotions, reconciliation, collective memory. 58% were direct victims. The results indicate high levels of approval and disposition to participate in the Commission’s activities, as well as some skepticism about its usefulness and low confidence in the official apologies of the groups in conflict. A high index of positive emotions related to the commission and low trust in government institutions is also found. The findings of this study coincide with previous experiences of truth commissions in Latin America and open the debate on the specificities of the Colom-bian context in the search for peace and the implications of the commission’s work in the reparation process.

Personality dimensions and their relationship with prosocial tendencies and empathy were analyzed in 69 children and adolescents in psychosocial vulnerability (Manizales, Colombia). The Big Five questionnaire, the prosocial tendencies scale and the interpersonal reactivity index were used. Correlations (p<.05) were found between prosocial tendencies: anonymous, emergence, emotional and the dimensions of agreeableness and extraversion. Perspective taking and empathic concern were correlated with agreeableness, conscientiousness and extraversion. Structural equation analysis showed that agreeableness, empathic concern and emotional prosocial tendency provided a predictor effect on prosocial emergence tendency (r2=.51). Conscientiousness, extraversion, prosocial emergence and emotional prosocial tendencies predicted perspective taking (r2=.41). Extraversion, emotional prosocial tendency and perspective taking predict anonymous prosocial tendency (r2=.26). Agreeableness and conscientiousness predict empathic concern (r2=.24).

During 2019, Chilean society witnessed massive citizen demonstrations motivated by historical inequalities. The objective of this study is to compare the perception of young adults and adults about the social protests and its relation to mental health and social well-being. 711 people answered the online survey on the study factors. The results indicate that adults above the age of 30 show more interest in politics and both groups categorically reject the use of violence during the civilian protests. Moreover, the young adults showed higher results in anomie and negative affectivity, whereas adults show better social well-being and satisfaction with live. The Chilean social protest has had political and socio-emotional consequences, which remain until today.

The objective of the present study is to document the mood profile and emotional disturbance indexes (EDI) in adult patients with cancer, renal insufficiency (RI), diabetes (D) and cardiovascular disease (CD). A total of 386 patients participated (cancer n = 96; RI n = 107; diabetes n = 91; CD n = 92) who self-reported their negative and positive mood states. The results evidence that the mood profile of the patients with CA and IR is similar in terms of their characterization and quantification, with IPE significantly lower than that of the patients with D and CD. On the other hand, compared with other groups, patients with CD present higher scores in all negative and positive dimensions of mood states. The influence of various sociodemographic and clinical variables on the adaptation and psychological response of patients is analyzed and discussed.

The results of a qualitative research were exposed, whose objective was to analyze and understand the manifestation of workplace harassment in women of Chilean psychosocial programs that provided care work to victims of violence. Sampling was done intentionally and for convenience. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 women from psychosocial programs of SENAME and SERNAMEG. The content-thematic analysis was carried out for the constructed data. The results showed that the exposure to workplace harassment was stigmatizing, mainly perpetrated by harassment to work, faced preferably with individual defensive strategies. The working conditions were syndicated as the main causes of workplace harassment. It is concluded that it involved damage to mental health and the rights of the workers.

The aim of this paper is to describe a group of families of a low socio-economic status in which child abuse and sexual abuse has been identified, linking such infringement of children rights with family stressors and social support to analyze the implications such link has for psychosocial interventions. The sample was composed by 40 adults who had children and adolescents under their care who receive help from services specialized in child abuse in Uruguay. It was found that the families studied had high socioeconomic vulnerability, childcare mainly done by women, children who had experienced polyvictimization, a high number of stressors and a low perception of social support. Conclusions drawn outline the importance of considering these variables when designing intervention programs that focus on promoting changes in parental practices that can be long lasting.

Depression and anxiety are common in adolescents, and poor mental health in this group leads to harm in adulthood. This study investigates to what extent gender, age, body image dissatisfaction, and self-esteem were related to depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents. The sample consisted of 1,209 high school students of both sexes, aged 13-19 years (M = 15.8; SD = 1.23). The instruments were: sociodemographic questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Stunkard Figure Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Multinomial logistic regression indicated that being female and having low or moderate self-esteem satisfactorily explained the anxiety symptoms. Reduced self-esteem was the best explanation for depressive symptoms, and finally, reduced rates of self-esteem satisfactorily explained symptoms for both disorders.

More than 45 years of IEP/TP research and a few focused on IEP/TP functions or roles. Yet, the quality of an IEP/TP relies on the functions that it fulfills to satisfy the needs of its different users (Petitdemange,1985). The Quebec Ministry of Education (MEQ, 2004) and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services within the U.S. Department of Education (in Eichler, 1999) explicitly identified and described six to seven IEP/TP functions. However, a literature review and practising environments highlighted a greater number of functions. The goal of this research is to identify the different functions that an IEP/TP should fulfill in regard to the different needs of its diverse users. With the use of pedagogical value analysis method (PVA), results show a synthesis of more than 700 functions organized in an IEP/TP Functional Specification Matrix (FSM). The IEP /TP FSM is useful to create, monitor and evaluate IEP/TPs.

A predictive model of the intention to graduate with a thesis, based on academic and cognitive-affective factors, is examined in a sample of 198 students from the first to the fifth year of psychology. The structural model tested by Path Analysis presented an adequate adjustment (CFI >.95 and RMSEA <.08), observing that engagement and attitude towards statistics indirectly regulate the intentionality of a thesis, while self-efficacy and methodological competencies have direct effects on intentionality. When there are adequate methodological competencies, the prognosis for doing a thesis is 82.6%, while a favorable attitude towards statistics forecasts 80.6% of the interest of graduating with a thesis.

The evaluation of teachers has been conducted with instruments such as the Teacher Behavior Checklist (TBC), whose evidence of content validity was obtained by verbal reporting. The relationship between six TBC items and the “Good Teacher” stimulus was assessed using the IRAP, and the correlation between the score of participants in an undergraduate course and the teacher’s assessment was assessed. Forty university students participated, who answered both instruments and reported the grade received in the discipline. The D-IRAP scores’ averages were statistically significant for “good teacher-positive-true” and “bad teacher-negative-true”. The correlation indexes between the participants’ grades in the discipline and the way they evaluated the teacher were not statistically significant.

Se hizo una valoración neuropsicológica con los cuestionarios CUMANIN y CUMANES usando los baremos colombianos, haciendo una comparación con los baremos originales. El estudio es descriptivo-no experimental, en total, participaron 400 niños de colegios públicos y privados de 6 municipios del departamento de Boyacá-Colombia, Los participantes tenían edades entre los 3 y 11 años (M=6,69; DE=2,632 años). Se realizó un análisis de desempeño a partir de frecuencias en cada una de las subescalas que contaban con baremo, se hizo un análisis comparativo con la prueba t-student. Se identificaron diferencias estadísticas en el uso de los baremos en el CUMANIN y CUMANES. Se encontraron diferencias en lenguaje articulatorio en el CUMANIN en las variables sexo y tipo de institución. En el CUMANES se encontraron diferencias en el tipo de institución. Se sugiere hacer uso de los baremos de acuerdo a lo sugerido por la APA, se recomienda tener precauciones en el uso de pruebas no baremadas. El uso de los baremos permitiría la elaboración de algunas políticas públicas en la infancia a partir de una aproximación diagnóstica válida.

The relationship between dispositions towards critical thinking, creative-innovative performance, self-efficacy and teaching practice was assessed in Peruvian teacher trainers from the Amazonian region of San Martin. Direct and big relationships were found between all variables. A model that explained 42% of the variance of teaching practice is presented, where dispositions towards critical thinking and creative and innovative performance have a direct effect on teacher self-efficacy. In addition, teacher self-efficacy fully mediates the relationship between dispositions toward critical thinking, and partially mediates the relationship between creative-innovative performance and teaching practices. Likewise, results show differences according to sex, work experience, specialization and work place. It is suggested to include other actors to get a holistic view of the teachers’ trainer capacities.

The challenges for quality education are complex given the high dropout rates. In Chile, this population is managed by the Youth and Adult Education modality, which there is not enough information on these educational trajectories. The aim of this quantitative research was to characterize these students, inquiring about how to tackle school dropout. The results show a mostly male population, under twenty-five years, with low attendance and low marks. From the MLR analysis, attendance, gender and level of education are the factors that most explain school performance, determining the continuity of the school trajectory. In order to provide new opportunities for lifelong learning, it is suggested to focus on intervention strategies with a systemic approach.

Perceived changes in basic beliefs and growth related to life events were examined in three studies. A representative sample (N = 885), a sample of students and their families (N = 291) and a sample of students (N = 245) responded with a list of positive and negative life events, a scale of changes in basic beliefs and a post-traumatic growth scale. Positive events were strongly associated with changes in basic beliefs, while only weak associations were found for negative events. In addition, negative changes in basic beliefs were associated with growth only in negative life events and positive changes in basic beliefs were generally associated with growth.

This methodological investigation aims to define a concept of asymmetry for qualitative variables, quantify it, and show its validity. A panel of five expert judges and Monte Carlo simulations were used. The statistic Mean Difference in Frequency (MDF) between pairs of categories ordered by frequency homogeneity was defined. The MDF statistic showed a behavior adjusted to expectations with different variants of the binomial distribution. The correlation between the mean skewness score of the judges and MDF was very high. To obtain interpretive guiding cutoffs, 20,000 samples of sizes 20, 40, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 were simulated, drawn from a binomial distribution. It is concluded that MDF is validity to measure asymmetry in qualitative variables.
