The UPPS-P scale is widely used to assess impulsivity. For this reason, the psychometric properties of the extensive version of UPPS-P were analyzed from the Rasch polytomous model. Eight hundred Argentine adolescents aged 12 to 18 years participated in the study. As a result, it was found that the dimensions of the UPPS-P presented an adequate fit to the Rasch model, adequate levels in the Person Separation Index (PSI), some items with local dependence and an adequate level of unidimensionality. It is concluded that the scale is a valid instrument to assess impulsivity in adolescents; therefore, a conversion table with interval scores is presented to increase the measurement precision of the instrument.

This article examines the impact of social representations of the War of the Pacific and identity fusion on the willingness to fight for Chile among high school students. A correlational design was used. The participants were 116 Chilean high school students with an average age of 16.76 years (SD = .73). Correlation analyses show that there is an association between identity fusion, social representations of the War of the Pacific, and willingness to fight for Chile. People with higher identity fusion are more willing to defend the national ingroup. Mediation analyses showed that the mediating variables, namely identity fusion, explain the relationship between social representations of the War of the Pacific and the criterion variable.

The content validity of the Attitudes Towards Teamwork (AHTE) scale was designed and analyzed. The items were written from a university competence approach and are distributed in 4 dimensions: Identity, Communication, Regulation and Execution. Theoretical relevance, instrumental relevance, representativeness, mastery, valence, uniqueness and clarity of 104 items were evaluated by expert judgment (n=23). The following content validity indices were used: CVR, CVI, CVC and Aiken’s V. The results show values close to 0.0.0. The results show values close to 0.80 in CVI and values higher than 0.9 in CVC Mean and Aiken’s V Mean, being clarity the property to be improved in 28 items. In conclusion, the AHTE scale has evidence of content validity.

The Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 was adapted for the adult population of Buenos Aires. Participants were 225 subjects (68.4% female; 30.7% male, 0.9% non-binary). Instruments administered were: survey of sociodemographic data and characteristics of use of social networks; Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2; Mental Health Continuum Short Form and; Symptom Check List-27. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out; It was found an adequate fit of the structure proposed by the original author. Cronbach’s and ordinals alphas ranged from .77 to .87. Significant positive correlations were found between the generalized problematic use of the Internet, the psychopathological symptoms and the time of use of social media. Associations were negative with psychological well-being.

This article reviews and synthesizes 10 free-recall studies on collective memory carried out in Latin America, Europe, and Palestine. Results show the high prevalence of the topics of politics, collective violence and warfare, but around 50% of recalled events were appraised as positives, disconfirming a negative bias in collective memory. However, in Palestine most of the events were entirely or partially negative, reflecting country’s conflictual situation. The analyzed studies confirm a partial socio-centrism: in Latin America and Palestine most events were national. A meta-analysis confirms a generational effect in 24/100 historical events. Negative historical events were related to low social wellbeing in Palestine. Results are discussed in the framework of collective memory processes and social representations of history.

The psychometric properties of a Subjective Well-being Scale were analyzed for adolescent students participating in the evaluations of PISA 2018. The sample included 67,503 adolescent students from Bulgaria, Georgia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, Panama, Serbia, Spain and the United Arab Emirates. Different models were evaluated for the Subjective Well-being Scale. Reliability was validated with the McDonald’s Omega coefficient, validity with the Confirmatory Factor Analysis and invariance with the Multigroup Factor Analysis. The Bifactorial model, with a general factor called Subjective Well-being and three specific factors called Satisfaction with Life, Positive Affects and Negative Affects, yielded the best fit indices. The analyses of the Subjective Well-being Scale applied to adolescent students from the four countries studied, yielded evidence of validity, reliability and invariance for different groups of adolescent students.

This study aimed to translate and validate the Revised Attitudes Toward Research Scale (R-ATR; Papanastasiou, 2014) in Peruvian university students. A total of 214 students participated, 65.9% female, with a mean age of 24.79 years (SD = 5.15), from a private university in Metropolitan Lima. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to test the R-ATR model of three correlated factors, obtaining an acceptable fit. On the other hand, excellent reliability coefficients for internal consistency and appropriate evidence of content validity were obtained. It is concluded that this Spanish version of the R-ATR has adequate evidence of validity and reliability that accredits its use in the Peruvian context.

The objective was to determine the psychometric properties of the F-COPES in the Colombian population. Cross-sectional study, with 1373 people, aged between 18 and 84 years. Data were analyzed in Jasp, exploratory factor analyzes were performed using the weighted least squares estimation method and a promax-type oblique rotation. Confirmatory factor analyzes with diagonalized weighted least squares estimators and robust analysis methods. Internal consistency analysis using Cronbach’s Alpha indices, McDonald’s Omega, and the highest lower limit index. A structure of five factors was found, four original ones: finding social support, cognitive restructuring, finding spiritual support and passive evaluation, and a new one: neighbor support. The scale evaluates family functioning in crisis situations in the Colombian context.

Following the perspective of the General Strain Theory (GST), this work explored the relationships between stressful experiences for adolescents, in the family (aggression and problems with the police) and at school (bullying), anger, self-control, and antisocial behaviors. Participated in the study, 102 students, 13 to 16 years old, from public schools in a city in the interior of São Paulo state. They answered five questionnaires. Descriptive analysis and simple and adjusted logistic regression were performed. Having committed school violence, having anger as a trait, and having lower self-control seem to interact and foster the conditions for antisocial behavior. Further studies, with larger and diverse samples, should continue to explore the TGT model, including context variables, which may modulate the focused relationships.

The pandemic generated a series of social alterations that affected people’s mental health. Analyzing psychological well-being and its possible associated factors in an abnormal situation such as the one experienced is of great scientific interest. For this reason, this research seeks to analyze the relationship of psychological well-being with coping strategies and family satisfaction in university students. The research has a quantitative approach, with a correlational scope and a cross-sectional non-experimental design. The sample is 377 students from a Chilean university. The Ryff psychological well-being scale, the COPE-28 coping strategies inventory and the FACES IV family satisfaction scale were applied. The results show that, on average, psychological well-being is at a medium to high level. In addition, it is evident that there is a significant correlation of psychological well-being with most coping strategies and with family satisfaction.
