Background: Patient satisfaction is a principal indicator in the evaluation of the stay of pediatric patients in hospitals, since its consequences can emotionally interfere with health treatment. The aim of this study was to obtain a valid scale to assess children’s satisfaction with their time spent as a patient in an Andalusian hospital. Method: The Children’s Satisfaction with Hospitalization Questionnaire (CSHQ) was applied to 623 pediatric patients hospitalized in Andalusia. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed one dimension underlying the children’s satisfaction with their hospitalization. After that, we developed a depuration analysis process to achieve a valid and unidimensional scale to assess children’s satisfaction. Results: The eleven-item one-dimension solution showed suitable consistency and goodness-of-fit indices. The final scale addresses hosting aspects as the main dimension of a minor’s satisfaction in Andalusian hospitals. Conclusion: A unidimensional scale has been determined for the assessment of children’s satisfaction with their stay in Andalusian hospitals based on hosting aspects. Nonetheless, other dimensions underlying the satisfaction of patients should also be considered.
A Network Analysis Study on the Structure and Gender Invariance of the Satisfaction with Life Scale among Spanish University Students
(MDPI, 2024) Díaz Milanés, Diego; Salado Navarro, Vanesa; Santín Vilariño, Carmen; Andrés Villas, Montserrat; Pérez Moreno, Pedro Juan; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Universidad de Huelva
Abstract: Introduction: The psychometric properties of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) have been evaluated across numerous languages and population groups, primarily from a factor analysis perspective. In some studies, inconsistencies in structural invariance have been identified. Objective: This study aims to analyze the properties and gender invariance of the SWLS from a network analysis perspective. Method: A total of 857 Spanish university students were obtained through a stratified random cluster sampling method in a cross-sectional survey design study. Descriptive analysis of the items, partial-correlation network, Bayesian network model estimation, and invariance analysis by gender were conducted. Results: The instrument did not exhibit any floor or ceiling effects. Each item can be considered univariately normally distributed, and all items clustered in a single and stable community. The partial-correlation network model and centrality measures were stable in the full sample and invariant across genders. Item 3 emerged as the most central node in the network with the highest predictability. The Bayesian network indicated that items 2 and 4 initiate the process, while item 5 acts as the sink, and items 1 and 3 act as mediators. Conclusions: The SWLS can be used as a unidimensional measure, and the total score and relationships among items are stable and reliable. Any potential differences among genders cannot be associated with the functioning of the instrument. The predictability of every item was high, and the Bayesian network clearly identified different roles among the items.
A neurocognitive model for short-term sensory and motor preparatory activity in humans
(Universitat de Valencia, 2004) Gómez González, Carlos María; Vaquero Casares, Encarnación; Vázquez Marrufo, Manuel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
The purpose of this review is to present information from different experiments that supports the proposal that brain systems are able to predict, in a short-term interval, certain characteristics about the next incoming stimuli. This ability allows the subject to be ready for the stimuli and be more efficient in completing the required task. Evidence is presented from different sensory-motor experiments, such as the central cueing Posner paradigm; Contingent Negative Variation (E1-E2), spectral modulation during expectancy and Lateralized Readiness Potential during the first-order sequential effect. Some cases from motor experiments are also presented, such as express saccades, the manual gap paradigm and ocular smooth pursuit movements. All these data support a neurocognitive model that can be related to neuroanatomical structures whose connections have been well- established. In the final section, a possible algorithm that explains the selection of a preparatory set among the alternatives is discussed.
A Psychological Field Model of Scientific Method
(Editorial Trillas, 1994) Trigo Sánchez, María Eva; Moreno Rodríguez, Rafael; Martínez Cervantes, Rafael Jesús; Arambarri Barrientos, Julián; Pérez Gil, José Antonio; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Este artículo intenta delinear un programa para la investigación de los conceptos de la metodología científica en términos psicológicos. La suposición general es que el método de la ciencia implica descripciones de tareas; y que como estas tareas comprenden al mismo tiempo actividades de los individuos, sería posible considerar a los conceptos del método como referencias de las actividades realizadas por los científicos. Sobre la base de esa suposición general, se utilizan las categorías aportadas por un modelo de campo psicológico con el fin de presentar diferentes ejemplos de su identificación en algunos conceptos metodológicos, y proponer un tipo de descripción del método que podría ser obtenida con tales categorías.
A randomized controlled trial to examine the posttreatment efficacy of neurofeedback, behavior therapy, and pharmacology on ADHD measures
(Sage, 2019) Moreno García, Inmaculada; Meneres Sancho, María Susana; Camacho Martínez Vara de Rey, Carlos; Servera Barceló, Mateu; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Objective: To examine the efficacy of neurofeedback (NF), behavior therapy (BT), and pharmacology (PH) on the improvement of ADHD-related symptoms. Method: Fifty-nine children with ADHD (M = 8.80 years, SD = 1.92 years) were randomly assigned to one of the three treatments in a pre/post assessment design. Mother- and teacher-rated ADHD scales and children were assessed using The Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA/CPT). Results: The three treatments were effective on the IVA/CPT, but with different trends. BT and especially NF achieved improvement on response control and attention, and PH mainly in visual attention. On the rating scales, BT improved all measures, and NF and PH had a minor but interesting influence. Conclusion: From a global perspective, behavior therapy had the most extensive results, but PH had the greatest capacity to improve overall attention. NF was able to improve both control response and inattention. Clinical implications are discussed.
A shortened version of the Headache-Specific Locus of Control Scale in Spanish population
(Wiley, 2010) Cano García, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez Franco, Luis; López Jiménez, Ana María; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Background and Objective.— Further questions need to be addressed in the evaluation of locus of control (LOC) in headaches, such as reducing scale length and adapting them to diverse cultural environments, as in the case of Spain. Methods.— We perform a confirmatory factor analysis of the most outstanding items contained in the Headache-Specific Locus of Control Scale in the responses of 118 patients suffering from headaches who received assistance at public health care centers in the province of Seville (Spain). Results.— The adjustment was positive, thus confirming the original structure of 3 factors: internal locus of control (LOC-I), health care professionals' LOC, and chance locus of control (LOC-C). Scale validation was performed by examining associations both with headache clinical parameters and psychological measures. The latter included self-efficacy, internal language, coping strategies, and pain behaviors. LOC-C results deserve special mention, supporting the idea that it seems more important to avoid that patients develop LOC-C rather than boosting LOC-I and LOC-P expectations. Conclusions.— The so-called Headache-Specific Locus of Control Scale-Short Form 9 has turned out to be a parsimonious (9 items), valid, and reliable measure of headache LOC.
A simulation study of threats to validity in quasi-experimental designs: Interrelationship between design, measurement, and analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2016) Holgado Tello, Francisco Pablo; Chacón Moscoso, Salvador; Sanduvete Chaves, Susana; Pérez Gil, José Antonio; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España; Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico (FONDECYT). Chile; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM649: Innovaciones Metodologicas en Evaluacion de Programas
The Campbellian tradition provides a conceptual framework to assess threats to validity. On the other hand, different models of causal analysis have been developed to control estimation biases in different research designs. However, the link between design features, measurement issues, and concrete impact estimation analyses is weak. In order to provide an empirical solution to this problem, we use Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as a first approximation to operationalize the analytical implications of threats to validity in quasi-experimental designs. Based on the analogies established between the Classical Test Theory (CTT) and causal analysis, we describe an empirical study based on SEM in which range restriction and statistical power have been simulated in two different models: (1) A multistate model in the control condition (pre-test); and (2) A single-trait-multistate model in the control condition (post-test), adding a new mediator latent exogenous (independent) variable that represents a threat to validity. Results show, empirically, how the differences between both the models could be partially or totally attributed to these threats. Therefore, SEM provides a useful tool to analyze the influence of potential threats to validity.
A Systematic Review of Public Stigmatization Toward Women Victims of Intimate Partner Violence in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
(SAGE, 2024) Murvartian Carrascal, Lara; Matías García, José Antonio; Saavedra Macías, Francisco Javier; Crowe, Allison; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN). España; Universidad de Sevilla. HUM327: Laboratorio de Actividad Humana (L.A.H.)
Public stigmatization of women victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) has begun to be studied because of its negative impact on recovery from violence. This systematic review aimed to analyze such stigmatization in low and middle-income countries (LAMIC) by identifying social norms and perceptions linked to public stigmatizing responses, such responses, negative consequences of those responses on victims, and other factors associated with public stigma. Following PRISMA guidelines, five databases were searched using “stigma” and multiple synonyms of IPV as keywords. Selected articles were empirical, written in English, published in peer-reviewed journals, and reported findings on public stigma toward women victims of IPV that had occurred in LAMIC. Nineteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Patriarchal gender roles, normalization of IPV and the consideration of violence as a private matter were the most prevalent social norms among the studies. These led to blaming, isolating and discriminating against the victim, making her feel ashamed, considering her less valuable than before suffering IPV, and dismissing or denying the abuse. Many negative consequences were identified. Anticipated public stigma, associated with not disclosing the abuse and not seeking help, was the most popular. Public stigmatization was stronger when other public stigmas intersected and in the case of disadvantaged social circumstances. Consequences were diminished by protective factors such as informal support and gender-based violence support services. This review provides a global vision for future research in each specific sociocultural context and is a first step in the design of anti-stigma programs in LAMIC.
A taxonomy of rules and their correspondence to rule-governed behavior
(1998) Peláez Nogueras, Martha; Moreno Rodríguez, Rafael; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
A taxonomy of rules and their possible effects on the listener's behavior are presented. The taxonomy takes into account dimensions of an entire contingency arrangement specified in the rule and how these dimensions relate to the listener's behavior. The classification is made according to rule: (a) explicitness, (b) accuracy, (c) complexity, and (d) source. It is argued that the probability that the listener will behave according to a rule depends upon the type of rule provided, the context in which the rule is provided, and listener's history with that or other similar rules. Even though manipulations of some types of rules have been conducted in studies of stimulus equivalence, relational frames, and derived stimulus relations, a more systematic study of the differential effects of the proposed 16 types of rules on the listener's behavior is needed.
A Training Intervention through a 360° Multisource Feedback Model
(MDPI, 2021) Sureda Demeulemeester, Elena; Chacón Moscoso, Salvador; Sanduvete Chaves, Susana; Sesé Abad, Alberto José; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico (FONDECYT). Chile; Junta de Andalucía
Physicians and other health sciences professionals need continuous training, not only in technical aspects of their activity but also in nontechnical, transversal competencies with a cost-efficient impact on the proper functioning of healthcare. The objective of this paper is to analyze the behavioral change among health professionals at a large public hospital following a training intervention on a set of core nontechnical competencies: Teamwork, Adaptability-Flexibility, Commitment-Engagement, Results Orientation, and Leadership Skills for Supervisors. The 360° Multisource Feedback (MSF) model was applied using three sources of information: supervisors, co-workers, and the workers themselves (self-assessment). A quasi-experimental pretest–post-test single-group design with two points in time was utilized. The training intervention improved the scores of only one of the trained competencies—the “Results Orientation” competency—although the scores were slightly inflated. Moreover, significant discrepancies were detected between the three sources, with supervisors awarding the highest scores. The magnitude of behavioral change was related to certain sociodemographic and organizational variables. The study was not immune to the ceiling effect, despite control measures aimed at avoiding it. The empirical evidence suggests that the 360° MSF model must be maintained over time to enhance and reinforce an evaluation culture for better patient care.
A Videogame as a Tool for Clinical Screening of Possible Vulnerability to Impulsivity and Attention Disturbances in Children
(MDPI, 2022) Serrano Barroso, Almudena Guiomar; Vargas Romero, Juan Pedro; Díaz Argandoña, Estrella; Gómez González, Isabel María; Ruiz Ortiz, Gabriel; López García, Juan Carlos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España
An attention disturbance is a problem that affects many school-aged children. The assessment in children is usually report-based, and as a result, controversy surrounds the diagnosis. To solve this issue, the aim of this study was to develop a new tool to detect possible attention-related problems and impulsive behavior in 4- and 5-year-old children. This tool was developed as an Android app and could be used to provide an early indicator of possible future development problems. A sample of 103 children (48 girls and 55 boys) was randomly selected from primary schools and assessed by Pinky-Piggy, a videogame application based on a classical paradigm in experimental psychology. Data from this app were compared with a Child Neuropsychological Maturity Questionnaire. The subjects displayed different patterns of response to play a very simple game called Pinky-Piggy. The application discriminated between high-responders and low responders. The results showed a relationship between these two profiles and the levels of attention and neurodevelopment in each group. The tool could identify different types of profiles and demonstrated its potential to evaluate endophenotypes to predict attentional problems related to impulsive behavior. Additionally, it required less time and fewer tests to identify possible at-risk populations, thus assisting in clinical diagnosis.
Academia, evaluación y poder
(Asociación de Sociología de la Educación (ASE), 2015) Manzano Arrondo, Vicente; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
La universidad está siendo reducida a un instrumento mercantilizado en su interior y en su papel exterior, que es fuertemente controlado por prácticas de evaluación centradas en la productividad. Estas prácticas consiguen que los miembros de la academia vivan con mayor preocupación los resultados de la evaluación que los asuntos propios de la actividad académica, es decir, educación, ciencia y transformación social. Este documento describe la situación actual de la academia, en términos de reducción evaluadora, y plantea una propuesta abierta: la constitución de la universidad como un quinto poder. Para ello, articula una descripción general sobre en qué consistiría ese poder y la acompaña de unos principios rectores para una perspectiva evaluadora diferente. En lugar de evaluación, se prefiere utilizar el término revisión, basado en la auto-inspección de los equipos o grupos de trabajo universitarios, en coherencia con una cultura organizacional orientada a la construcción de una ciudadanía sabia.
Acerca de la finitud en las poblaciones
(Instituto Nacional de Estadística, 1996) Manzano Arrondo, Vicente; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Las expresiones «población finita» y«población infinita» son frecuentemente utilizadas. Pero su uso no viene acompañado de una comprensión fundamentada de qué es lo que significan cada uno de estos términos y en qué circunstancias puede considerarse a una población finita o infinita. En este trabajo se pretende facilitar recursos prácticos para definirse acerca de la finitud de una población, en el contexto del muestreo aleatorio simple.

La activación psicofisiológica en situaciones de competición en jugadores de bádminton
(Universidad de Murcia, 2023) Estrada Contreras, Omar; Fernández Martínez, Nicolas; Pérez Córdoba, Eugenio Antonio; Cantón Chirivella, Enrique; Jodra Jiménez, Pablo; Huertas Castro, Manuel Eugenio; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Diversas investigaciones demuestran la importancia de la relación del nivel de activación con el rendimiento deportivo. Además, se puede obtener mayor información si evalúa la activación psicofisiológica en acciones similares a las competitivas. El objetivo fue analizar el nivel de activación psicofisiológica de la acción de saque y su efecto en el rendimiento, durante situaciones simuladas de competición. Participaron 30 jugadores de bádminton (M= 23.7 años, DE = 7.52), divididos por nivel de rendimiento: alto nivel de habilidad (mujeres=5, hombres=10) y bajo nivel de habilidad (mujeres=4, hombres=11). Variable independiente: simulación de competición con menor y mayor exigencia durante el saque. Variable dependiente: nivel de activación psicofisiológica (conductancia de la piel, temperatura periférica, frecuencia cardiaca y electromiografía de trapecio izquierdo), subjetiva y rendimiento. No hubo diferencias significativas en las variables electromiografía, conductancia de la piel debido a las diferentes condiciones, pero si en la temperatura periférica y la activación subjetiva. El nivel de activación psicofisiológica tuvo un incremento por las acciones llevadas a cabo, pero no mostró diferencias por las diferentes condiciones. Además, que el tipo de simulación se hizo imaginando situaciones de partido, es posible que no haya sido suficiente para generar un incremento suficiente para discriminar por condiciones.
Activation-Inhibition dynamics of the oscillatory bursts of the human EEG during resting state. The macroscopic temporal range of few seconds
(Springer, 2021) Gómez González, Carlos María; Angulo Ruiz, Brenda Yalitza; Muñoz Burbano, Vanesa; Rodríguez Martínez, Elena Isabel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
The ubiquitous brain oscillations occur in bursts of oscillatory activity. The present report tries to define the statistical characteristics of electroencephalographical (EEG) bursts of oscillatory activity during resting state in humans to define (i) the statistical properties of amplitude and duration of oscillatory bursts, (ii) its possible correlation, (iii) its frequency content, and (iv) the presence or not of a fixed threshold to trigger an oscillatory burst. The open eyes EEG recordings of five subjects with no artifacts were selected from a sample of 40 subjects. The recordings were filtered in frequency ranges of 2 Hz wide from 1 to 99 Hz. The analytic Hilbert transform was computed to obtain the amplitude envelopes of oscillatory bursts. The criteria of thresholding and a minimum of three cycles to define an oscillatory burst were imposed. Amplitude and duration parameters were extracted and they showed durations between hundreds of milliseconds and a few seconds, and peak amplitudes showed a unimodal distribution. Both parameters were positively correlated and the oscillatory burst durations were explained by a linear model with the terms peak amplitude and peak amplitude of amplitude envelope time derivative. The frequency content of the amplitude envelope was contained in the 0–2 Hz range. The results suggest the presence of amplitude modulated continuous oscillations in the human EEG during the resting conditions in a broad frequency range, with durations in the range of few seconds and modulated positively by amplitude and negatively by the time derivative of the amplitude envelope suggesting activation-inhibition dynamics. This macroscopic oscillatory network behavior is less pronounced in the low-frequency range (1–3 Hz).
Activismo frente a norma: ¿quién salva a la universidad?
(Universitat de Barcelona, 2015) Manzano Arrondo, Vicente; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
La fuerte presión que se está ejerciendo actualmente sobre la educación superior dificulta su capacidad para trabajar directamente hacia el bien común desde su carácter de organización basada en el conocimiento. Esta consecuencia afecta a la relación entre la universidad y el tercer sector, en la puesta en práctica de experiencias de aprendizaje servicio, investigación-acción y otros modelos de sinergia. A partir del análisis de las publicaciones y de entrevistas a cargos académicos y profesorado activista, este documento describe dos perfiles complejos que ayudan a entender las reacciones de los miembros de la academia cuando se enfrentan a estas presiones. Estas reacciones muestran cuatro criterios dicotómicos: actitudes frente a la hegemonía (tendencia de mercado o tendencia social), reacciones a la presión (obediencia o resistencia), imparcialidad académica (neutralidad o posicionamiento) y posturas sobre el pragmatismo (realismo o idealismo). Así, el perfil MOR es definido por estilo de (M)ercado, (O)bediencia y (R)ealismo; mientras que el perfile SRIP es definido por tendencia (S)ocial, (R)esistencia, (I)dealismo y (P)osicionamiento. El trabajo describe las consecuencias en el trabajo universidad-tercer sector y propone vías para solucionar estos problemas.
Adolescencia, género y conflicto: El discurso argumentativo como herramienta de autorregulación
(Promolibro, 2014) Bascón Díaz, Miguel Jesús; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Actualmente un fenómeno preocupante es el aumento de conflictividad y violencia en adolescentes, como apunta la Estadística de Menores 2007/2011. Mediante una aproximación que vincula discurso y autorregulación, se pretende estudiar la estructura y el contenido de la argumentación, así como la incidencia del género y el tipo de interacción. Se analizó el discurso (2250 enunciados) de 42 adolescentes (14 a 17 años), debatiendo en grupos un dilema sobre conflictos de pandilla. Los resultados muestran relación entre el género y la estructura argumentativa, y relación entre el género y el tipo de interacción sobre el contenido de los argumentos. Así, aunque se observa más argumentación en chicas, su contenido está mediatizado por el tipo de interacción, implicando el posible carácter situado de la autorregulación discursiva adolescente frente a los conflictos y dilemas. Finalmente, se contribuye al debate teórico y se vinculan los hallazgos con disciplinas afines.
Adolf Meyer and Spain: a historical account gleaned through his correspondence
(2011) Sánchez González, Natividad; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
El psiquiatra de origen suizo Adolf Meyer (1866-1950) jugó, a principios del siglo XX, un papel esencial en la definición y la institucionalización de la higiene mental. Asimismo, estuvo activamente implicado en el establecimiento de la psiquiatría y la psicología americanas como disciplinas aliadas pero profesional y académicamente independientes. Desde su puesto como profesor de psiquiatría en la Universidad Johns Hopkins y director de la prestigiosa Clínica Psiquiátrica Henry Phipps, Meyer asumió un lugar preeminente en la escena psicológica americana. También, desde esa posición, ejerció una gran influencia internacional. Este trabajo examina la correspondencia entre Meyer y algunos autores españoles como medio de obtener una primera visión de la significación de los españoles para sus colegas americanos. Se concluye que Meyer conocía en detalle la obra de Ramón y Cajal, Nicolás Achúcarro, Gonzalo Rodríguez Lafora, y Emilio Mira. Pero, además, Meyer supo de primera mano las circunstancias políticas que llevaron a casi todos ellos al exilio y colaboró con algunas iniciativas americanas de apoyo a los médicos y científicos españoles durante y después de la Guerra Civil Española.
Adolf Meyer, Grosvernor Atterbury y la Clínica Psiquiátrica Henry Phipps, "(…) devolviendo a la definición de hospital el significado completo de hospitalidad"
(Universitar de Vàlencia, 2008) Sánchez González, Natividad; Díaz Argandoña, Estrella; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (MEC). España
En este trabajo exploraremos la relación que para el diseño de Clínica Psiquiátrica Henry Phipps mantuvieron el psiquiatra, Adolf Meyer, y el arquitecto Grosvenor Atterbury, y como las ideas de Meyer ayudaron a Atterbury a resolver los detalles del nuevo edificio. Aunque escasamente citada en los textos de Psicología, la Clínica Phipps sigue siendo una de las instituciones más importantes para la fundación de la moderna psiquiatría y psicología clínica. Desde su inicio en 1913, gracias a la donación de millón y medio de dólares por el filántropo americano Henry Phipps, la Clínica encarnó las ideas psicobiológicas de Adolf Meyer, y en Estados Unidos, fue el primer complejo para pacientes mentales construido como parte de un hospital general, el Hospital John Hopkins. La clínica fue concebida por el arquitecto americano Grosvenor Attebury, inspirado por las ideas de Meyer. De este modo, diseñó un edificio plenamente integrado con el resto de las instalaciones del Hospital, y que permitía cumplir las tres funciones que Meyer preveía en su acercamiento psicobiológico: la investigación, la formación y la prevención. Así, la Clínica contaba con tres laboratorios, su propia biblioteca aulas y salas de conferencias y para seminarios; así como una clínica para pacientes externos. Además, Atterbury, alentado por la psicobiología de Meyer, enfatizó la importancia del entorno y de la estética en la sanación de los pacientes.
