La muestra constó de 345 universitarios de ambos sexos de una universidad privada, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 a 50 años provenientes de Lima Metropolitana (Perú). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la escala breve de resiliencia CD-RISC 10, la Escala de Estrés Percibido (EEP-10) y la Escala de Autoeficacia General (EAG). Para analizar la validez de constructo se realizó un análisis factorial que demostró que el modelo unifactorial explica el 47 % la varianza total acumulada, posteriormente se pasó a corroborar el modelo propuesto a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio que arrojó valores óptimos de ajuste. Se estudió la validez convergente con las variables autoeficacia general (r = .664, p = .000) y una validez divergente con estrés percibido (r = -.402, p = .000). La confiabilidad se estableció a través de los coeficientes de a...

Respecto de la formación profesional se advierte que el pregrado tiene una duración promedio de 5 años, existe un sistema de acreditación que a la fecha solo dos escuelas profesionales de psicología han logrado cumplir los indicadores, no existiendo un sistema que regule la calidad de los post grados. Para ejercer la profesión es obligatoria estar colegiado y se encuentra en proceso la certificación profesional por competencias. Se destacan diversas investigaciones y se pone en evidencia la necesidad de potenciar estos aspectos. Se proponen retos y ...

There has been little systematic effort toward establishing and working toward long-term goals, partially because of weak alliances among public and private institutions. In this article, the authors review the historical developments and current status of services to children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems. Drawing on the review, they discuss some of the barriers in meeting the needs of this challenging population. Solutions to some complex problems are proposed.

The study verified that the scoring system has psychometric qualities such that it may be applied in another country. The sample consisted of 231 children, ages 6 to 10 yr., 108 from different districts of the province Lima in Peru, and 123 children from three states in Brazil. During test application, the figures were projected to children in groups. Scoring the protocols for errors was conducted by psychologists experienced in interpreting and correcting the Bender–SPG, who rigorously followed instructions in Portuguese and Spanish. The results obtained with Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis indicated that Figures 1 and 4 presented DIF, one favoring Brazilian children and the other Peruvian children. Thus...

Yet, it has been suggested that usage of the Internet for sexual purposes might lead to psychological problems. In this study, undergraduate students from a public university in the U.S. (n = 320) and Peru (n = 251) completed questionnaires addressing their online sexual activity (OSA), psychological adjustment, and family environment and communication. Results indicated that Peruvians used the Internet significantly more than U.S. students to view sexually-explicit material (SEM), find sexual partners, and search for sex-related information. Men, irrespective of nationality, used the Internet to view SEM significantly more than women. Social support, religiosity, and erotophilia were found to moderate the relations between nationality and OSA. In absoluteterms, both nationalgroups, on average, engaged in OSA a relatively low number of hours each week. Further, no differences were found in maladjustment between those who engage in OSA and those who do not, suggesting that concerns over OSA are probably unwarranted.

On average, and across the four national groups, the messages young adults received from their parents about broad domains of sexual behaviors (masturbation, non-intercourse types of heterosexual sexual activity, premarital sex, same-sex activity, and cohabiting) were unequivocally restrictive. By contrast, across the four groups, young adults on average held rather permissive sexual values and their values differed significantly from those of their parents. Moreover, the nature of perceived parental sexual values (restrictive vs. permissive) was not associated significantly with young adults' sexual values, age of sexual debut, or number of sexual partners. Comparatively, Spanish young adults held the most permissive sexual values, whereas US young adults held the most restrictive sexual values. Religiosity was the strongest predictor of young adults' sexual values, followed by perceived parental sexual values and influence. In conclusion, it appears that despite having perceived restrictive parental messages about sex, these young adults currently hold permissive sexual attitudes, thus calling into question the influence parents actually have on their adult children's sexual values.
