Very 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.
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.

People 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.

Influence of problem-solving ability and personality variables on the improvement and creativity of tactical decisions in basketball
(Frontiers Media, 2024) Díaz Rodríguez, Carlos; Pérez Córdoba, Eugenio Antonio; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Background: Basketball players are increasingly required not only to read the tactical actions that take place in a game but also to make correct tactical decisions. This includes greater creativity in the type of solutions they must provide when faced with various tactical situations. To acquire these skills, young players need training in which personality and general intelligence variables significantly influence the learning process. Methods: A Perceptual Tactical Training (PTT) program was implemented, correlated with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and the Raven’s Progressive Matrices test, to observe improvements in tactical perception and decision-making among young basketball players. Results: The PTT produced significant improvements in tactical solutions and tactical perception for all players. Players who scored high in general intelligence found it easier to perceive tactical situations but struggled to generate original tactical solutions. Conversely, players with high psychoticism and high general intelligence were more capable of creating innovative tactical solutions but did not excel in perceiving tactical game situations. Conclusion: Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the individual differences in intelligence and personality traits among young players to enhance their tactical decision-making and creative abilities.
Systemic neurophysiological entrainment to behaviorally relevant rhythmic stimuli
(American Physiological Society, 2024) Muñoz Caracuel, Manuel; Muñoz Burbano, Vanesa; Ruiz Martínez, Francisco Javier; Vázquez Morejón, Antonio José; Gómez González, Carlos María; Universidad de Sevilla.

Physiological 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.
Creencias sobre el amor y bienestar durante la adultez emergente
(Colegio Oficial de Psicología de Andalucía Occidental, Universidad de Cádiz, Universidad de Córdoba, Universidad de Huelva, Universidad de Sevilla, 2024) Blanco, Raquel; Parra Jiménez, Águeda; Salado Navarro, Vanesa; Díez López, Marta; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación
El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar las creencias sobre las relaciones de pareja durante la adultez emergente, concretamente los mitos del amor romántico y los tipos de amor y su relación con el bienestar, teniendo en cuenta las diferencias de género. Participaron 631 jóvenes entre los 18 y 29 años. Se utilizó la versión en español de la Escala de Actitudes hacia el Amor, la Escala de Mitos del Amor Romántico y la Escala de Florecimiento. Los resultados mostraron una tendencia general hacia el amor Eros y mayor inclinación de los varones hacia el amor Altruista y Lúdico, mientras que las mujeres se inclinaban más hacia el amor Pragmático. Asimismo, se observó un bajo nivel de aceptación de los mitos románticos, siendo este más elevado en los hombres. Mayores niveles de amor Eros y Pragmático se relacionó con mayor florecimiento, mientras niveles más altos en amor Lúdico y Obsesivo predijeron menor florecimiento.
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.

Parents 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.
Spanish Adaptation of the Scale of Psychological Empowerment in the Workplace
(Cambridge University Press, 2012) Albar Marín, María Jesús; García Ramírez, Manuel; López Jiménez, Ana María; Garrido Muñoz de Arenillas, Rocío; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social
The objective of this study is to adapt and translate into Spanish Spreitzer’s Psychological Empowerment Scale (1995a). A process of translation and reverse-translation was applied to the scale’s items, whose psychometric properties were then examined using a sample of 272 professional nurses at public hospitals in the province of Seville. The data were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis. The significance of the factor loadings demonstrated the need to create a new model eliminating one item. The 11-item model was shown to possess adequate construct validity and internal consistency. The results confirm the original, four-factor structure obtained by Spreitzer, with the exception of item 10, and support the utilization of the Spanish version of this scale in the workplace. Future research should more extensively investigate its construct validity, and test the nomological network of the operationalized construct within the field of psychological well-being and in the context of the workplace.

(Colegio Oficial de Psicología del Principado de Asturias, 2021) Saavedra Macías, Francisco Javier; Vázquez Morejón, Antonio José; Vázquez-Morejón Jiménez, Raquel; Arias Sánchez, Samuel; González Álvarez, Sergio; Corrigan, Patrick; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social; Gobierno de España
Background: Recovery is an essential construct in healthcare treatment for patients diagnosed with severe mental illnesses (SMI). Of all the psychometric instruments available for measuring recovery, the 41-item Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) is the most widely used. Several brief versions have been proposed, including the 24-item version. In this study, the RAS-24 was adapted to European Spanish and validated in a clinical sample. Method: Participants (N = 309) diagnosed with SMI were recruited from a community mental health center and a work guidance center. The participants completed the RAS-24 and the Social Functioning Scale (SFS), both self-reported and family-reported versions. Results: The results showed good indices of fit for the original five-factor structure, acceptable internal consistency (α = .93; ω = .95), temporal reliability (ICC = .89, p <.01), and significant correlation with most of the SFS scales (total SFS self-report r = .50, p < .01; total SFS family reported r =.49, p < .01). Conclusions: These data support the use of this Spanish version as a measure of recovery in the Spanish clinical population.
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. España
Objective: 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.
Understanding Social Workers and Health Professionals’ Public Stigma against Women who Experience Intimate Partner Violence in Spain
(Springer, 2024) Murvartian Carrascal, Lara; Saavedra Macías, Francisco Javier; Mata Benítez, Manuel de La; Crowe, Allison; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN). España
Purpose: Social workers and health professionals play a relevant role in the detection and intervention of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). However, these professionals may exert public stigma against IPVAW survivors, which prevents disclosure, help seeking and affects women’s health. There are no comprehensive models that explain stigma functioning in Spain. Our aim was to explore the functioning of such stigma that may be exercised by social workers and health professionals in Spain. Their perceived impact of stigma on survivors was also studied. Methods: Interviews with 18 providers were conducted and analyzed through template analysis. Results: The findings confirmed the presence of stigma and revealed that it was often unintentional. Factors about the Roots of stigma were identified (e.g., Privileged social identities or Symptom-focused role of psychology), which triggered several Myths about IPVAW and survivors (e.g., Broken toy or Survivor-profile) and Stigmatizing responses (e.g., Being paternalistic or Judging) when offering professional help. Several consequences of these myths and responses showed the perceived high Cost of stigma for survivors (e.g., Leaving support services or Internalizing stigma). Conclusions: The results confirmed the importance of effective professional training to prevent stigmatizing myths and responses. Training should reduce professionals’ patriarchal values, increase their knowledge about IPVAW, self-reflection on how personal experiences and social identity influence their practice, and self-reflection on their own practice in general. Such training should also promote an intersectional perspective on recovery, a view of survivors as agents, a contextual approach, active listening, close contact with survivors, and informed care.
The Relationship Between Gender, Training, Experience and Acceptance of Myths About Intimate Partner Violence Against Women and Willingness to Intervene Among University Students in Spain
(Taylor and Francis, 2024) Murvartian Carrascal, Lara; Saavedra Macías, Francisco Javier; García Jiménez, María; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España; Agencia Estatal de Investigación. España; European Commission (EC). Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER); Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICINN). España; Consejería de Economía, Conocimiento, Empresas y Universidad. Junta de Andalucía
The aim was to explore potential explanatory factors for the three dimensions of willingness to intervene in cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women: police or personal involvement and noninvolvement. N = 280 students at a Spanish university (78.20% women) from the fields of educational, community, and interventions responded to a survey including the Willingness to Intervene in cases of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women and the Acceptance of Myths About Intimate partner Violence Against Women scales. Bivariate analyses and multiple linear regressions demonstrated that IPV experience implied greater personal involvement, while the higher the myth acceptance, the lower the probability of calling law enforcement. The likelihood of not intervening decreased with some IPV experience and training and lower myth acceptance. Results are discussed in terms of their relevance in developing bystander interventions.

(Colegio Oficial de Psicología del Principado de Asturias, 2024) Gómez Gómez, Irene; Domínguez Salas, Sara; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe; Rodríguez Domínguez, Carmen; Gómez Baya, Diego; Motrico Martínez, Emma; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social
Antecedentes: La proliferación de intervenciones e investigaciones psicológicas realizadas a través de internet ha fomentado la aplicación de cuestionarios online para evaluar trastornos mentales comunes como la ansiedad perinatal. Este estudio analiza la validez y fiabilidad de la versión online de la Escala de Ansiedad Generalizada (GAD-7) en una muestra de mujeres españolas embarazadas y puérperas. Método: 3082 mujeres embarazadas (n = 1260) y puérperas (n = 1822) fueron reclutadas por internet y seguidas durante seis meses en tres momentos de tiempo. Resultados: El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio aportó una solución unifactorial que se confirmó mediante Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio en embarazadas (CFI = 0.998; RMSEA = 0.035) y puérperas (CFI = 0.998; RMSEA = 0.038). Este modelo mostró invarianza estricta por grupo. La validez se confirmó evaluando las correlaciones entre GAD-7 con la Escala de Depresión Postnatal de Edimburgo y los 10 ítems de la lista de verificación del Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático en los tres momentos evaluados. El coeficiente de fiabilidad fue .92 para ambos grupos. Conclusiones: Este estudio muestra que la versión online en español del GAD-7 tiene buenas propiedades psicométricas y puede ser utilizada para evaluar síntomas de ansiedad durante el período perinatal.
Enhancing spatial memory and pattern separation: Long-term effects of stimulant treatment in individuals with ADHD
(Elsevier, 2024) Lobato Camacho, Francisco José; López García, Juan Carlos; Vargas Romero, Juan Pedro; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España
This study explores the under-researched domain of long-term stimulant treatment in children and adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The necessity for extended treatment duration, often accompanied by safety concerns and side effects leading to treatment discontinuation, underscores the significance of this investigation. Concurrently, comparative studies have revealed adverse impacts on vulnerable regions within the hippocampal formation, accompanied by behavioral perturbations. We employed computerized tests and virtual reality to assess spatial memory, pattern separation, and object recognition memory in a cohort of children diagnosed with ADHD receiving stimulant treatment. We compared their performance to a group of neurotypical peers. Our findings indicate that the ADHD group exhibited a lower performance in spatial memory, pattern separation, and object recognition memory than ND group. Intriguingly, a positive relationship emerged between the duration of stimulant treatment and performance in these variables. Notably, this improvement was not immediate to MPH treatment but becomes significant after 24 months of treatment. In contrast to previous comparative investigations, our study did not reveal a detrimental impact on spatial navigation, object recognition memory, or pattern separation, despite the known interplay of these cognitive processes with the hippocampal formation. These results shed new light on the nuanced effects of stimulant treatment in ADHD, underscoring the need for a more comprehensive understanding of long-term treatment outcomes.
Intraoperative mapping of the right hemisphere: a systematic review of protocols that evaluate cognitive and social cognitive functions
(Frontiers Media, 2024) Martín Monzón, Isabel; Amores Carrera, Laura; Sabsevitz, David; Herbet, Guillaume; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
The right hemisphere of the brain is often referred to as the non-dominant hemisphere. Though this is meant to highlight the specialized role of the left hemisphere in language, the use of this term runs the risk of oversimplifying or minimizing the essential functions of the right hemisphere. There is accumulating evidence from functional MRI, clinical lesion studies, and intraoperative mapping data that implicate the right hemisphere in a diverse array of cognitive functions, including visuospatial functions, attentional processes, and social cognitive functions. Neuropsychological deficits following right hemisphere resections are well-documented, but there is a general paucity of literature focusing on how to best map these functions during awake brain surgery to minimize such deficits. To address this gap in the literature, a systematic review was conducted to examine the cognitive and emotional processes associated with the right hemisphere and the neuropsychological tasks frequently used for mapping the right hemisphere during awake brain tumor surgery. It was found that the most employed tests to assess language and speech functions in patients with lesions in the right cerebral hemisphere were the naming task and the Pyramids and Palm Trees Test (PPTT). Spatial cognition was typically evaluated using the line bisection task, while social cognition was assessed through the Reading the Mind in the Eyes (RME) test. Dual-tasking and the movement of the upper and lower limbs were the most frequently used methods to evaluate motor/sensory functions. Executive functions were typically assessed using the N-back test and Stroop test. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review to help provide guidance on the cognitive functions most at risk and methods to map such functions during right awake brain surgery.
Job satisfaction and depression in the Spanish Society of Periodontology and Research (SEPA) members, and their relation to the burnout syndrome. Creation of a structural model
(Medicina oral S.L, 2012) Reyes Torres, Mercedes; Ríos-Santos, J.V.; López Jiménez, Ana María; Herrero-Climent, Mariano; Bullon, Pedro; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Estomatología; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
Objective: This study is aimed at getting to know the existing relationship between the dimensions of the burnout syndrome and job satisfaction, on one hand, and depressive feelings on the other through the creation of a struc tural model aimed at relating all these concepts on a sample of Spanish periodontists. Study design: The initial sample comprised 284 individuals, who represented 20% of the members of the Spanish Society of Periodontology and Research (www.SEPA.es). These individuals were chosen randomly by means of stratified sampling with proportional affixation by their autonomous community of residence. All participants were sent by post the MBI, CET and job-satisfaction questionnaires. The software package used for data analysis was LISREL v. 8.7 by checking models of structural equations so as to prove the proposed model’s adjustment. Results: The total number of answered questionnaires was 170 (59.85%). A positive relation was observed between emotional tiredness and depersonalization and depression. However, this dimension correlated negatively with job satisfaction and self-realization. Conclusions: The obtained results show that, in this sample of periodontists, job satisfaction acts as a modulator in the transition from emotional tiredness to depression.
Maintaining borders: From border guards to diplomats
(De Gruyter, 2018) Español Nogueiro, Alicia; Marsico, Giuseppina; Tateo, Luca; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
The article aims at integrating the cultural psychology perspective of into the multidisciplinary field of border studies. It analyses the border phenomenon as a co-genetic system. The authors investigate the psychological side of people who relate to the border out of different motives. Then, it expands some of the theoretical concepts current in border studies by introducing psychological dimensions such as intentionality and directionality. Finally, the framework is applied to two case-studies representing the northern and southern European Union frontiers: the case of Estonian officer Eston Kohver in the Setumaa region on the Estonian–Russian border; and the experiences of border guards in the re-bordering process on the Spanish–Moroccan border. It offers an innovative conceptual resource based on a triadic co-genetic epistemological approach, which allows us to overcome the binary oppositions still very present in the contemporary debates in borders studies.
Beyond technical learning: Internship as a liminal zone on the way to become a psychologist
(Elsevier, 2021) Mele, Enrica; Español Nogueiro, Alicia; Carvalho, Brena; Marsico, Giuseppina; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
The internship has become an essential part of university education. In many curricula, internships are a driving force for professional training and theoretical-practical integration. However, other processes and relational dynamics concerning the trainees' experience have an impact on learning. In this paper, we focus on the educational process between the academic system and the professional world, conceptualizing internship as a border zone. We try to explore the psychological and educational dimensions of the internship, with special attention to the meaning-making process, the affective aspects and the professional identity. Nine female psychology trainees in four different countries (Brazil, Denmark, Italy and Spain) were interviewed while doing their internship. The interview was complemented with various tasks aimed at addressing in depth the interviewees' personal experience. As main results, we highlight how the internship is conceived as an element of separation and continuity in professional development, the experience of ambivalence and insecurity in between the student and professional roles, the relevant role of the tutor, the reflection and imagination as main strategies in the transferring theoretical and practical knowledge and the crucial role of emotions in the process of becoming a psychologist. These elements characterize the internship as a liminal zone, where multiple internal filters regulate the ongoing learning process. The student's reflection emerges as a privileged tool to achieve these results. In this vein, some proposals are presented to improve the integration of the different types of knowledge that come into play in this transitional period.
Five Gazes on the Border: a Collective Auto-Ethnographic Writing
(Springer, 2018) Tateo, Luca; Español Nogueiro, Alicia; Kullasepp, Katrin; Marsico, Giuseppina; Palang, Hannes; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental; Tallinn University Research Fund; Estonian Research Agency; Niels Bohr Professorship Grant
The article presents a collective and interdisciplinary academic writing about an itinerant field work in three different sites/areas with the distinct identities of the Estonian territory, in particular the Estonian-Russian border zones. The authors had traveled for 1 week in three different Estonian border areas to observe the everyday life of people. The different perspectives of cultural psychology and human geography illuminate the multifaceted nature of borderscapes and the special processes of meaning-making that take place on the border.
Psychology of borders: An integral proposal to understand border phenomena in human life
(SAGE, 2021) Español Nogueiro, Alicia; Marsico, Giuseppina; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Experimental
This introduction aims to present a comprehensive proposal for studying border phenomena in human life that emerges from the contributions that compose this special issue. This theoretical proposal attempts to include the psychological dimension of border phenomenon, an aspect that has not been fully considered in the field of border studies so far. To this end, we first present the border concept from a cultural psychology point of view. Then we discuss the articles that compose this special issue and their implications for understanding border phenomena in human psychological functioning. These articles explore the border notion in its semiotic, discursive, and dialogic dimension. They also help with understanding the impact of the border on identity formation and negotiation as well as the diverse daily border practices that shape the human mind. Finally, we present the main conclusions drawn from this theoretical elaboration and propose new challenges to continue investigating the relationship between psychology and borders.
