Nevertheless, more research is needed with cross-national samples concerning the differential effects of lifestyles on life satisfaction. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to analyze the associations between the frequency of playing sports/exercise or playing electronic games on life satisfaction in a sample of 12-year-old children from nine countries from the European Union. The data used in this publication come from the third wave of the Children’s Worlds project, an international survey of children’s lives and well-being whose administration started in 2017. The sample was composed of 10,626 children (50.9% boys) from Estonia, Belgium, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Poland, Romania, and Spain. They completed the Student Life Satisfaction Scale and answered two questions to assess the frequency of playing sport or exercise, and the frequency of playing electronic gam...

Son conocidas sus consecuencias negativas en la salud mental de las personas que la padecen. Uno de los más comunes en la sociedad es el cáncer de colon. Los pacientes con este tipo de cáncer reciben mayoritariamente atención médica y farmacológica para sus síntomas físicos. El objetivo de esta revisión es dar a conocer y recalcar la importancia de las intervenciones en depresión y ansiedad en pacientes con cáncer de colon. Esta enfermedad no solo afecta al componente somático, el ajuste psicológico también puede verse alterado en multitud de ocasiones. En la actualidad, muchas terapias psicológicas son usadas para reducir los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión en los pacientes. Estas propuestas de intervención buscan favorecer las condiciones contextuales, psicosociales, cognitivas, emocionales y conductuales de los enfermos. Hasta la fecha, las intervenciones en salud mental han sido de corte cognitivo-conductual o ps...

De acuerdo con este enfoque, una adolescencia saludable y ajustada y una adecuada transicion a la adultez requieren de algo mas que evitar conductas de riesgo. Asi, se adopta una perspectiva centrada en el bienestar, enfatizando la existencia de condiciones saludables y ampliando el concepto de salud para incluir las habilidades, conductas y competencias necesarias para tener exito en la vida social, academica y profesional. Desde el modelo de Desarrollo Positivo Juvenil (DPJ) de Lerner et al. (2011) se presentan cinco fortalezas (5C’s): competencia, confianza, conexion, caracter y cuidado. Si todas las 5C’s estan presentes surge una sexta competencia, que es la contribucion, entendida como la contribucion a uno mismo, a la familia y a la comunidad. El presente informe muestra los datos del estudio espanol, realizado en 2017, dentro del “Positive Youth Development Cross-national...

Positive youth development (PYD) framework is focused on strengths that make young people more resistant to negative outcomes, like depression, and more capable to choose a positive life direction. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the 5Cs of PYD and depression in Croatia and Spain, as well as to analyze gender differences. This research was conducted within the PYD Cross-National Project. High school and university students from Eastern Croatia and Southern Spain participated in the study (Mage = 19.37, SD = 2.11; 62.3% female). There were 584 students from Croatia and 768 students from Spain, who filled in self-reports of PYD and depression (i.e., PYD-SF and PHQ-9, respectively). Results showed that male participants presented more Compete...

Recientemente desde la ciencia evolutiva se ha puesto el foco más que en el estudio del riesgo y la psicopatología, en la promoción de competencias y el desarrollo de la resiliencia. La resiliencia viene a ser la capacidad potencial o manifiesta de un sistema dinámico para adaptarse con éxito a los múltiples procesos y a las múltiples amenazas que pueden poner en peligro su funcionamiento, su supervivencia o su adecuado desarrollo. Dado que el individuo se encuentra inmerso y en interacción en diversos contextos sociales, muchos de estos procesos protectores son de carácter interactivo. Entre los modelos que han guiado la intervención que más evidencia han recogido en los últimos años, se encuentran la teoría del desarrollo positivo juvenil y el modelo de educación positiva. En estas intervenciones la construcció...

Esta revisión sistemática tiene por objetivo examinar el estado actual de la investigación empírica en intervenciones en el área del racismo y la xenofobia. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en la literatura científica entre 1990 y febrero de 2020 en varias bases de datos (ERIC, APA PsycInfo, MEDLINE y Psychology and Behavioral Sciences) de las que se obtuvieron 1004 artículos. Después de aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, los artículos se redujeron a ocho. Se analizaron los principales temas y líneas de actuación, así como los beneficios percibidos por los participantes tras concluir la intervención. Se enfatiza la necesidad de seguir interviniendo e investigando con muestras mayores y en diferentes contextos.

However, more research is needed to understand the effects on positive indicators of psychological well-being in children as subjective happiness. Cross-national studies are also recommended to examine the differential effects by country. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine bullying and school exclusion, and their effects on child subjective happiness, from a cross-national perspective. Data from the Second Wave of Children’s Worlds: International Survey of Children’s Well-being (ISCWeB) was used, from a sample of 12,623 children aged 10 years old from 15 countries. Participants completed self-report measures of bullying, school exclusion and subjective happiness. Results showed that 20.8% of children suffered harassment and 17.6% felt excluded, twice or more tim...

Such habits include an adequate eating pattern along with good adherence to the intake of certain supplements, practice of moderate physical activity and avoiding the consumption of toxic products such as tobacco and alcohol. The objective of this study is to assess the interrelation between such habits and their association with sociodemographic variables. To such end, a cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of pregnant women who attended the scheduled morphology echography consultation at the 20th gestational week in their reference public hospital in the city of Seville (Spain). Results: Younger pregnant women and with lower educational levels are the ones that present the worst eating habits and the highest smoking rate. Pregnant women with lower educational levels are the least active. Non-smoking pregnant women present better ea...

The scarce evidence published to date suggests that perinatal mental health has deteriorated since the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the few studies published so far have some limitations, such as a cross-sectional design and the omission of important factors for the understanding of perinatal mental health, including governmental restriction measures and healthcare practices implemented at the maternity hospitals. Within the Riseup-PPD COST Action, a study is underway to assess the impact of COVID-19 in perinatal mental health. The primary objectives are to (1) evaluate changes in perinatal mental health outcomes; and (2) determine the risk and protective factors for perinatal mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we will compare the results between the countr...

In the training of social educators, such thinking is considered a fundamental pillar for a good performance of their functions in the social field. By means of qualitative and quantitative instruments, we set ourselves the objective of knowing the opinions of 72 Social Education degree students of the University of Huelva (Spain) about critical thinking, higher education, and their position on the subject. The results obtained showed that students have an approximate general knowledge of what critical thinking is, but a clear lack of knowledge of how it is developed. In addition, it is observed that there is a great contradiction between what they say and what they actually do, as, although they value its development in the degree and professional performance, they do not develop or commit themselves de facto to this competence. Moreover, they recognize that th...

Separate volumes cover each of these subjects, offering depth and complex understanding of the subject matter, research advances in this area, as well as well-evaluated practical sugestions for promoting intended outcomes. Positive education is based on the established discipline of positive psychology, and underpinned by theories and empirical research in this field. It aims to develop the skills of well-being, flourishing and optimal functioning in children, teenagers and students, as well as parents and educational institutions. Written by researchers and scholars of positive psychology, this book series offers a range of definitive texts for academics interested in implementing, researching and evaluating positive psychology-based ap...
