Artículo Similarities and differences in the psychological factors associated with generalised problematic internet use, problematic social media use, and problematic online gaming(Elsevier, 2024) Sánchez Fernández, Magdalena; Borda Mas, María de las Mercedes; Horvath, Zsolt; Demetrovics, Zsolt; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla; Unión Europea; Junta de AndalucíaProblematic online behaviours are a concern among university students. Although previous research has identified that psychological distress, cognitive distortions, conscientiousness and neuroticism traits, motor impulsivity, and emotion regulation strategies have a significant direct effect on generalised problematic Internet use (GPIU), problematic social media use (PSMU), and problematic online gaming (POG), it is still necessary to determine the extent to which these psychological factors, taken together, are associated with each of the problematic online behaviours. In a sample of 690 Spanish university students, the present study examined the relationship of these psychological factors with GPIU, PSMU, and POG. Correlation and regression analyses were performed. Results reported that (1) high psychological distress, low conscientiousness trait and high motor impulsivity were common associated factors of GPIU and PSMU, but not of POG; (2) high levels of cognitive distortions and cognitive reappraisal were common associated factors of GPIU, PSMU and POG; and (3) expressive suppression and neuroticism trait had no effect on any of the three problematic online behaviours. The findings will help to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies for each problematic online behaviour in the university context.Artículo Problematic Online Behaviours among University Students and Associations with Psychological Distress Symptoms and Emotional Role Limitations: A Network Analysis Approach(Springer, 2024) Sánchez Fernández, Magdalena; Borda Mas, María de las Mercedes; Rivera de los Santos, Francisco José; Griffiths, Mark D.; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Universidad de SevillaVery little research has simultaneously explored the interactions between generalized problematic internet use (GPIU), problematic social media use (PSMU), problematic online gaming (POG), psychological distress, and emotional well-being among university students. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine (i) the associations between GPIU, PSMU, and POG symptoms, (ii) whether symptoms of these three problematic online behaviours form distinct entities, and (iii) whether there are associations between problematic online behaviours, psychological distress symptoms, and emotional role limitations using network analysis. A total of 807 Spanish university students participated (57.7% female; Mage = 21.22 years [SD = 3.68]). Two network models were computed. Network 1 showed a complex interaction of nodes, with particularly strong connections between analogous symptoms of GPIU and PSMU. Symptoms organised into distinct dimensions, featuring a unique dimension for POG symptoms, one that includes preoccupation and a conflict symptom of GPIU, and two other dimensions with symptoms of GPIU and PSMU. Network 2 showed significant connections between GPIU and depression, GPIU and emotional role limitations, PSMU and anxiety, PSMU and emotional role limitations, POG and depression, and POG and anxiety. The findings support the conceptualization of GPIU as a nonspecific disorder, the independence of PSMU and POG as distinct constructs, and aligning with perspectives that separate POG from the GPIU spectrum. The study reinforces the model of compensatory internet use and emphasizes the impact of problematic online behaviours on emotional well-being. The findings have practical implications for the assessment and intervention of problematic online behaviours.Artículo Coping behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms: A prospective repeated assessment study(Elsevier, 2024) Fortea, Lydia; Solanes, Aleix; Pomarol-Clotet, Edith; García León, María Ángeles; Fortea, Adriana; Torrent, Carla; Varo Martín, Cristina; Bonnin, Caterina del Mar; Montejo, Laura; Alonso, Jordi; Carmona, Susana; Soldevila-Matías, Pau; Alustiza, Irene; Arbós, Daniel; Hidalgo-Mazzei, Diego; Grande, Iria; Vieta, Eduard; Fullana, Miquel Àngel; Radua, Joaquim; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; AXA Research FundIntroduction Health institutions provide general recommendations to cope with global crises such as pandemics or geopolitical tensions. However, these recommendations are mainly based on cross-sectional evidence. The preregistered Repeated Assessment of Behaviors and Symptoms in the Population (RABSYPO) study sought to establish prospective longitudinal evidence from a cohort with a demographic distribution similar to that of the Spanish population to provide evidence for developing solid universal recommendations to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms during times of uncertainty. Material and methods We first recruited via social networks a pool of Spanish individuals willing to participate and then randomly selected some within each stratum of age × gender × region × urbanicity to conduct a one-year-long bi-weekly online follow-up about the frequency of ten simple potential coping behaviors as well as anxiety (GAD-7) and depressive symptoms (PHQ-9). Mixed-effects autoregressive moving average models were used to analyze the relationship between past behaviors’ frequency and subsequent symptom changes across the twenty-seven time points. Results Among the 1049 who started the follow-up, 942 completed it and were included in the analyses. Avoiding excessive exposure to distressing news and maintaining a healthy/balanced diet, followed by spending time outdoors and physical exercise, were the coping behaviors most strongly associated with short and long-term reductions of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Engaging in relaxing activities and drinking water to hydrate were only associated with short-term symptom reductions. Socializing was associated with symptom reductions in the long term.Artículo Analysis of the moderator effect of overstimulation on the relationships between indicators of health-related quality of life, extraversion and maladaptive coping strategies in people with sensory processing sensitivity(Springer, 2024) Pérez Chacón, Manuela; Borda Mas, María de las Mercedes; Rivera de los Santos, Francisco José; Pérez Chacón, Antonio; Avargues Navarro, María Luisa; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología ExperimentalPeople with sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), when overstimulated, feel overwhelmed, stressed, and in need of social withdrawal, rest, and reestablishing balance in the nervous system. This study focuses on analyzing the moderator effect of overstimulation on health-related quality of life (mental health, vitality, and body pain), extraversion, and maladaptive coping strategies in people with SPS. Participants (N = 10,520 adults) completed the Spanish versions of the High Sensitivity Person Scale (HSPS-S), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI). Participants with high overstimulation levels were observed to have a worse quality of life related to health, greater introversion, and a tendency to use more maladaptive coping strategies. Furthermore, two of the health-related quality of life indicators, mental health and vitality, occupy a central position in the relationships between variables; there was a negative relationship between mental health and active maladaptive coping strategies, as well as between extraversion and nonactive maladaptive coping strategies. Lastly, the level of overstimulation was not identified as an indicator that differentially influences its relationship with the study variables. These findings demonstrate the need to use prevention and clinical intervention programs that address mental health and vitality, as well as introversion and the use of maladaptive coping strategies in people with high sensitivity.Artículo Actitudes y conocimiento sobre la Intervención Asistida con Animales entre profesionales de la educación(Universidad de Oviedo, 2023) Martos Montes, Rafael; Díaz Sánchez, María Eugenia; López-Cepero Borrego, Javier; Delgado Rodríguez, Rafael Francisco; Ordoñez Pérez, David; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento PsicológicosLa intervención Asistida con Animales (IAA) aplicada a los ámbitos terapéuticos, educativos y de intervención social ha alcanzado un gran auge en los últimos años como estrategia complementaria a la intervención convencional. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las actitudes y conocimientos sobre la IAA por parte del personal docente (Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria). Han participado en el estudio un total de 110 docentes (79,1% mujeres), con una edad media de 42 años, pertenecientes a 30 centros educativos. A través de un formulario online se ha recabado información sobre sus actitudes, intención de uso y conocimientos sobre la IAA, así como su experiencia previa con animales y las actitudes hacia ellos. Los resultados muestran una actitud positiva e intención de uso hacia la IAA, lo que contrasta con la escasa formación y conocimiento sobre la IAA. La inmensa mayoría del profesorado (79,1%) nunca ha participado en programas de IAA, no obstante, un porcentaje similar (77,3%) ha manifestado su interés y predisposición por formarse en este tipo de intervención. Esta actitud positiva abre las puertas al desarrollo de programas de IAA en el ámbito educativo y a la formación del personal docente, lo que podría enriquecer la atención educativa.Artículo A systematic review and a comprehensive approach to PhD students' wellbeing(Wiley, 2024) Martínez García, Inmaculada; De Witte, Hans; García Martínez, Jesús; Cano García, Francisco Javier; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento PsicológicosThe pursuit of a doctoral degree is a challenging process that can have a negative impact on the wellbeing of PhD students. Therefore, the aim here is to offer a systematic review of the current state of the literature on wellbeing among PhD students and the variables it involves in order to build an integrative model that will enrich future research. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology for systematic reviews has been used to lay out the process in a flow diagram. We systematically review studies up to 2021 (N = 38) published on the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. The results show the current state of the literature on wellbeing in PhD students, the characteristics of the studies (location, study design, and sample), how the literature defines the concept, the variables involved, the study limitations, and future perspectives to improve the quality of life of doctoral students. Finally, a comprehensive approach to the topic is presented in an integrative model that encompasses all variables identified in the literature and offers a guide for future research.Artículo Saavedra-Macías, Francisco Javier (2023). De Repente, la Maldita Lucidez: Experiencias y Reflexiones de un Cuidador en Salud Mental. Editorial Universidad de Sevilla. [Reseña](Colegio Oficial de Psicología de Andalucía Occidental, Universidad de Cádiz, Universidad de Córdoba, Universidad de Huelva, Universidad de Sevilla, 2024) Ramírez-Garrido, Juan Daniel; Vázquez Morejón, Antonio José; Vázquez-Morejón Jiménez, Raquel; Saavedra Macías, Francisco Javier; Universidad de Sevilla.

Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Agencia Estatal de Investigación. España; Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa. Junta de AndalucíaPhysiological oscillations, such as those involved in brain activity, heartbeat, and respiration, display inherent rhythmicity across various timescales. However, adaptive behavior arises from the interaction between these intrinsic rhythms and external environmental cues. In this study, we used multimodal neurophysiological recordings, simultaneously capturing signals from the central and autonomic nervous systems (CNS and ANS), to explore the dynamics of brain and body rhythms in response to rhythmic auditory stimulation across three conditions: baseline (no auditory stimulation), passive auditory processing, and active auditory processing (discrimination task). Our findings demonstrate that active engagement with auditory stimulation synchronizes both CNS and ANS rhythms with the external rhythm, unlike passive and baseline conditions, as evidenced by power spectral density (PSD) and coherence analyses. Importantly, phase angle analysis revealed a consistent alignment across participants between their physiological oscillatory phases at stimulus or response onsets. This alignment was associated with reaction times, suggesting that certain phases of physiological oscillations are spontaneously prioritized across individuals due to their adaptive role in sensorimotor behavior. These results highlight the intricate interplay between CNS and ANS rhythms in optimizing sensorimotor responses to environmental demands, suggesting a potential mechanism of embodied predictive processing.Artículo Emotional Regulation Problems in Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (formerly Sluggish Cognitive Tempo), Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety and Depression(Cambridge University Press, 2024) Cano Crespo, Almudena; Moreno García, Inmaculada; Servera Barceló, Mateu; Morales Ortiz, Manuel; Universidad de Sevilla.

EspañaParents have reported emotional regulation problems in cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The first objective of this research was to explore the differences between the parents’ ratings on CDS, ADHD, hyperactivity/impulsivity, inattention, anxiety, depression and emotional dysregulation. The second one was to compare the predictive capacity of CDS and ADHD over anxiety, depression and emotional regulation problems. The third one was to analyze the mediation of emotional dysregulation in CDS, ADHD, hyperactivity/impulsivity, inattention, and anxiety and depression. The sampling used was non-probabilistic. The final sample consisted of 1,070 participants (484 fathers and 586 mothers) who completed the Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) and the Child and Adolescent Behavior Inventory (CABI). In relation to the first objective, first, mothers reported more emotional regulation problems in children than in fathers. Second, emotional regulation problems were more strongly correlated with hyperactivity/impulsivity. Significant differences were found in all father scores, except for anxiety and the emotional regulation subscale. Regarding mothers, significant differences were only observed in ADHD scores, hyperactivity/impulsivity, and depression. Both parents reported more problems in older children, except for hyperactivity/impulsivity scores and ADHD rated by mothers. According to the second objective, CDS scores were found to significantly predict anxiety and depression scores, but not those of inattention or emotional regulation problems. Finally, in relation to the third objective, emotional regulation problems mediated the relationships between CDS, ADHD, and anxiety and depression. In conclusion, the data support the importance of emotional regulation problems in understanding CDS and its relationship with ADHD, anxiety, and depression.Artículo Psychosocial factors associated with treatment preference in mental health(Sage, 2024) Vázquez Morejón, Antonio José; Felipe González, Carmen; Muñoz Caracuel, Manuel; Vázquez-Morejón Jiménez, Raquel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología SocialBackground: Studies examining the effects of incorporating patients' preferences into treatment outcomes highlight their impact on crucial aspects such as reduced dropout rates and enhanced effectiveness. Recognizing individuals' rights to participate in decisions about their treatments underscores the importance of studying treatment preferences and the factors influencing these choices. Aim: This study aims to identify treatment preferences (psychological, pharmacological, or combined) among a sample of patients and to discern the psychosocial and clinical factors influencing these preferences. Methods: A total of 2133 individuals receiving care at a community mental health unit completed assessments on anxious-depressive symptoms, social and occupational adjustment, and their treatment preference. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS, with descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and one-way ANOVA applied. Results: Preferences for treatments were distributed as follows: Combined (49.8%), psychological (33%), and pharmacological (10.6%). Factors such as diagnosis, severity of depressive and anxious symptoms, and functional impact were related to treatment preference with a moderate effect size. Meanwhile, various sociodemographic factors correlated with the selected treatment, though with a weak effect size. Conclusions: There is a pronounced preference for combined treatments. The significance of psychological treatments is evident, as four out of five participants favored them in their choices. Addressing these preferences calls for an exploration within the broader context of prescription freedom in mental health.Artículo Sources of social support and clinical and functional evolution of people with schizophrenia(Sage, 2023) Vázquez Morejón, Antonio José; León Rubio, José María; Vázquez-Morejón Jiménez, Raquel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología SocialPurpose: The impact of social support on comprehensive measures of results (clinical and functional) of the course of schizophrenia was studied, understood and evaluated as a multidimensional construct differentiating sources of support (family vs. nonfamily). Methods: 152 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were assessed with the Mannheim Interview on Social Support (MISS) and the Social Functioning Scale (SFS). The hypotheses were explored in a prospective longitudinal design, using a causal correlational analysis for their evaluation by applying structural equation models. Results: The only explanatory factor of social functioning was nonfamily social support, while the only explanatory factor of clinical result measurements was family social support, observing a clearly differentiated impact of the different sources of support on the schizophrenia result measurements. It was also found that while family social support explained 6.8% of the variance in the clinical result measurements, nonfamily social support explained 13.7% of the variance in social functioning. Conclusion: The results confirmed the differential importance of social support variables (family vs. nonfamily) in the clinical and functional result measurements of people with schizophrenia.Artículo Psychometric properties of the Spanish adaptation of the General Phubbing Scale(Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz, 2024) Ruiz Muñoz, Manuel Jesús; Herruzo Pino, Carlos; Alcañiz Colomer, Joaquín; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España; Junta de Extremadura (Consejería de Economía, Ciencia y Agenda Digital)Introduction: The increased use of information and communication technologies, the internet and social networking sites has resulted in significant changes in the way people communicate, leading to negative consequences that might compromise psychological and physical health. The aim of this study was to present an adaptation and validation of the Generic Scale of Phubbing into a Spanish language context. Method: Three hundred forty-six Spanish espondents participated in the study by completing self-report measures for assessing their levels of phubbing, internet addiction, phone addiction, and fear of missing out (FoMO). Results: The scale adaptation to Spanish resulted in high quality psychometric properties and the original number of items and structure were preserved (nomophobia, interpersonal contact, self-isolation, and problem acknowledgement). In addition, the analysis of the relationship between variables showed that phubbing and its dimensions were positively associated with related constructs including internet addiction, phone addiction, and FoMO. Conclusions: The findings provide empirical evidence regarding the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Generic Scale of Phubbing as a tool to assess phubbing behavioursArtículo Effectiveness of psychological interventions to decrease cognitive fusion in patients with chronic pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis(Elsevier, 2024) Sanduvete Chaves, Susana; Chacón Moscoso, Salvador; Cano García, Francisco Javier; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España; Agencia Estatal de Investigación. EspañaObjective: While there is sufficient evidence of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy's effectiveness in allowing patients to deal with chronic pain, the effectiveness in cognitive fusion, one of the six core components of the Psychology Flexibility Model, has yet to be established. The aim of this article is to assess whether psychological interventions decrease cognitive fusion. Methods: The Web of Science, SCOPUS, Medline, and PsycINFO databases were searched for primary studies up to June 2024. Studies with a cognitive fusion measure in which chronic pain patients received a psychological intervention were included. A methodological quality scale was applied to the selected studies and the average effect sizes (Hedges g) were calculated. Results: This review included 18 articles with 24 studies (19 pre-post/follow-up studies and five randomized control trials). Cognitive fusion decreased significantly after the intervention. The effect sizes were small/medium at post-test, g = -0.39, p < .001, 95% CI [-0.52, -0.26]; and medium at long-term follow-up, g = -0.55, p < .001, 95% CI [−0.74, -0.36]. A similar tendency was found for studies with RCTs at post-test, g = -0.61, p = .006, 95% CI [−1.05, -0.17], short-term follow-up, g = -0.79, p < .001, 95% CI [−1.18, -0.40] and long-term follow-up, g = -0.58, p = .003, 95% CI [-0.95, -0.20]). Moderator variables such as unemployment, gender, pain intensity, level of depression before the intervention, and duration and intervention modality were identified. Conclusion: Psychological interventions tended to decrease cognitive fusion in chronic pain patients. Nonetheless, more clinical trials are needed to establish the role of cognitive fusion in psychological flexibility.Artículo Abusos sexuales y disfunciones en personas con problemas de adicción y población en general. Un estudio descriptivo(MRE Press, 2024) Franco Jaén, Sonia; Rodríguez González, José Manuel; Espinosa García, Amor; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento PsicológicosEl hecho de haber sufrido Abuso Sexual Infantil (ASI) se considera un factor de riesgo para el posterior desarrollo disfunciones sexuales, siendo estas más frecuentes entre las mujeres que entre los hombres. El objetivo que tiene el presente trabajo es analizar las diferentes disfunciones sexuales en las personas que han sufrido ASI, con problemas de adicción y en la población general. La muestra la componen 426 participantes (241 hombres y 185 mujeres). Se ha llevado a cabo un estudio expostfacto retrospectivo y para ello se ha empelado un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos (ad hoc) y el Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). Para el análisis de los datos se han realizado las pruebas de Kolomogorov-Smirnov y U de Mann Whitney. Se ha realizado la prueba U de Mann-Whitney para verificar si existen diferencias significativas entre las personas que presentan disfunción sexual, entre los grupos que han sufrido abuso sexual y tiene problemas de adicción, y el grupo que no ha sufrido abusos sexuales y tiene problemas de adicción. Los resultados señalan que las variables en las que se encuentran diferencias significativas son las siguientes: Insatisfacción (p = 0.013), Evitación (p < 0.001), No sensualidad (p = 0.008), Vaginismo (p < 0.001), Anorgasmia (p < 0.001), Disfunción eréctil (p = 0.045), y Eyaculación precoz (p = 0.007). Las puntuaciones medias que se han obtenido entre las personas que tienen problemas de adicción, sin haber sufrido ASI en comparación con las que si lo han sufrido son las siguientes: Insatisfacción (5.09 vs. 6.41), Evitación (2.03 vs. 2.22), No sensualidad (2.96 vs. 4.50), Vaginismo (0.88 vs. 2.94), Anorgasmia (0.97 vs. 3.78), Disfunción eréctil (2.41 vs. 1.69), Eyaculación precoz (3.60 vs. 2.22). Las personas que han sufrido ASI presentan, con una mayor probabilidad, disfunciones sexuales que aquellas otras que no lo han sufrido.Artículo Digital Intimate Partner Violence Among Peruvian Youths: Validation of an Instrument and a Theoretical Proposal(SAGE, 2021) López-Cepero Borrego, Javier; Vallejos Saldarriaga, José; Merino García, Marina; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS111: Psicología Clínica y de la SaludThe present study presents psychometric information on a new instrument, the Digital Intimate Partner Violence Questionnaire (DIPVQ), and explores the similitudes and differences between in-person and digital-based abuses (those that involve the use of information and communication technologies [ICTs]). In all, 449 Peruvian students took part in the study (X = 21.2 years; SD = 4.3 years; 73% women). DIPVQ structure was determined by carrying out an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with polychoric correlation matrices and oblique rotation. In-person violence was assessed using the Dating Violence Questionnaire (DVQ) and self-labeling questions (e.g., feeling trapped, afraid, and abused). Relationship satisfaction was assessed using the Perceived Relationship Quality Components–Short Form (PRQC-SF). EFA showed a two-scale structure for the DIPVQ: control-centered cyberabuse (N = 5; control, monitoring, and identity theft; EAP alpha = .96) and damage-centered cyberabuse (N = 7; unwanted sexual contents, blackmailing, and causing debts throughout ICT; Expected-A-Posteriori alpha = .97). DIPVQ had direct relationship to DVQ and self-labeling (p < .001; d = 0.38-1.18), and inverse to PRQC-SF (p = .11; d = .22-.33). Behaviors such as impersonation and monitoring were reported by more than 20% of participants. Online and offline victimization coexist in 42% of cases, while 3.6% of aggressions happened exclusively via ICT. DIPVQ is a valid and reliable measure of digital victimization. The control-centered scale had a higher frequency, although the damage-centered scale had stronger relationship to feeling afraid and abused. While previous literature has classified online aggressions regarding their aesthetic appearance, it seems that their functional value (control vs. hurting) could provide a better framework for understanding these aggressions.Artículo Psychometric Properties of the Dating Violence Questionnaire: Reviewing the Evidence in Chilean Youths(Sage, 2021) Lara Vázquez, Laura; López-Cepero Borrego, Javier; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS111: Psicología Clínica y de la SaludThe Dating Violence Questionnaire (DVQ) is a 42-item questionnaire that measures victimization in romantic relationships between young people, through eight interrelated scales assessing detachment, humiliation, coercion, emotional punishment, gender-based, sexual, physical, and instrumental violence. It has been validated in a myriad of countries and languages and is commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries; however, two scales (emotional punishment and instrumental violence) have shown reliability issues. The aim of present study is to analyze the psychometric proprieties of the adapted version of the DVQ for the Chilean population, reviewing evidence of structure validity, external validity, and reliability—using polychoric and ordinal analysis—and including new items to improve instrumental and emotional punishment scales (DVQ+). Eight hundred forty-six high school and university students (14-24 years old) participated in the study. Results showed that both DVQ and DVQ+ versions had an adequate fit with the original correlated eight-factor model (root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = .023; comparative fit index [CFI] = .97, in both cases), as well as with a more parsimonious second-order factor model (RMSEA = .024-.025; CFI = .97-.97, respectively). Reliability analysis also showed both version presented satisfactory values for internal consistency. Finally, scores of DVQ were correlated—as expected—negatively with quality of the relationship and positively with fear, perceived abuse, and attachment-related anxiety, thus providing new evidences of validity.Artículo Evolution of victimization, tolerance and detection of intimate partner violence among young Spanish women(Sage, 2016) Rodríguez Franco, Luis; López-Cepero Borrego, Javier; López Núñez, María Inmaculada; Paíno Quesada, Susana; Antuña Bellerín, María de los Ángeles; Bringas Molleda, Carolina; Rodríguez Díaz, Francisco Javier; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Ministerio de Sanidad, Política Social e Igualdad. España; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS111: Psicología Clínica y de la SaludIntimate partner violence that takes place in first couple relationships has received increasing attention in recent years, leading our knowledge on different topics to grow remarkably. The objective of this study is two-fold: on the one hand, we compare levels of victimization and tolerance for two samples, from two waves of assessment; and on the other hand, we focus on coherence among victimization and the use of labels such as abuse, fear and feeling trapped in the relationship in both waves. A total sample of 3,844 women between the ages of 16 and 21 took part in the study, 18% in the first wave in 2003–05 and 82% in the second wave in 2011–13. Data were collected using the Cuestionario de Violencia de Novios (CUVINO), a questionnaire that provides information on the prevalence of and tolerance towards eight different kinds of abuse, along with self-labelling questions on the perception of abuse. Results showed a similarity in prevalence and labelling in both waves of assessment, with higher tolerance in the second wave. We discuss the implications of these findings for improving current prevention programs on dating violence.
Artículo Companion animal bereavement: Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Pet Bereavement Questionnaire(Taylor and Francis, 2024-07-01) López-Cepero Borrego, Javier; Ferrer Seser, Marta; Mori, Marina; Español Nogueiro, Alicia; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS111: Psicología Clínica y de la SaludThis work provides psychometric data on the validity and reliability of the Spanish adaptation of the Pet Bereavement Questionnaire (PBQ), as well as information on the intensity of bereavement in the Spanish population. The study evaluated 333 Spanish participants of legal age (M = 31.5; SD = 11.6), mostly women (76.3%). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tested the adequacy of three different structures present in literature, finding better fit indexes for a model that kept the original three-factor structure (grief, guilt, and anger) but rearranged 2 of the 16 items. Around 70% of participants reported signs of intense bereavement on the grief scale, with higher means among women. The results confirm adequate psychometric qualities of the PBQ, offering healthcare professionals a tool to evaluate bereavement intensity after the loss of a companion animal in Spanish samples.Artículo The Dating Violence Questionnaire: Validation of the Cuestionario de Violencia de Novios Using a College Sample From the United States(2016) López-Cepero Borrego, Javier; Fabelo, Humberto E.; Rodríguez Franco, Luis; Rodríguez Díaz, Francisco Javier; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; CTS-111This study provides psychometric information for the Dating Violence Questionnaire (DVQ), an instrument developed to assess intimate partner victimization among adolescents and youths. This instrument, an English version of Cuestionario de Violencia de Novios, assesses both frequency and discomfort associated with 8 types of abuse (detachment, humiliation, sexual, coercion, physical, gender-based, emotional punishment, and instrumental). Participant included 859 U.S. students enrolled in undergraduate psychology courses in a mid-Atlantic university (M = 19 years; SD = 1.5 years). One-third of the participants were males, and two-thirds were females. Regarding racial identity, around 55% of participants identified themselves as White, 22% as African American, 12% as Asian, whereas 11% selected other identities. Around 9% of participants identified themselves as Hispanic. Confirmatory factor analysis shows that the DVQ achieved adequate goodness-of-fit indexes for the original eight-factor model (χ2/df <5; root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] <.080), as well as higher parsimony when compared to simpler alternative models. The 8 scales demonstrated acceptable internal consistency indexes (α > .700), surpassing those found in the original Spanish validation. Descriptive analysis suggests higher victimization experience on subtle aggressions (detachment, coercion, and emotional punishment), with overt abuses (physical, instrumental) obtaining the smallest means; these findings were similar across gender, race identity, and ethnicity. Results of this validation study encourage the inclusion of DVQ in both research and applied contexts.Artículo Effect of victimization and perceived support on maintenance of dating relationships among college students in Guadalajara, Mexico(Sage, 2021-03) López-Cepero Borrego, Javier; Estrada Pineda, Cristina; Chan Gamboa, E. Claudia; Fuente Barrera, Asur; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS111: Psicología Clínica y de la SaludThis study analyzes the influence of the victimization suffered (sexual, physical, coercion, humiliation, and emotional punishment) and the support network available (as Independent Variables (IIVV)) on the trajectory of young couples (feeling trapped in a relationship, Dependent Variable (DV)). A total of 990 Mexican university students (M = 19.5, SD = 1.82 years) of both sexes (66% women) participated in the study. Family and friends were perceived as providing the greatest support (in over 85% of respondents), while the resources provided by the university (teachers, central resources) were regarded as unhelpful by 40%. A linear regression analysis showed that the feeling of being trapped in the relationship was influenced by all the IIVV (*p < .05), although perceived support proved to be a poor predictor (beta = –.053). A path analysis reflected a negative effect of coercion (regression weight = –.533) and physical violence (–.926) on perceived support, with all forms of victimization being precursors for feeling trapped in a relationship. These results show the negative effect of victimization on expectations of support in young people, which may make it difficult to begin the process of seeking help. They also highlight the need to increase the visibility of resources available in educational settings to provide an early response to intimate partner violence.
