{"title":"FAMILY FUNCTIONING CHARACTERISTICS INVOLVED IN ADOLESCENT DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS","authors":"A. Caño, C. Rodríguez-Naranjo","doi":"10.36315/2019INPACT064","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2019INPACT064","url":null,"abstract":"Research has shown that family functioning contributes to depressive symptoms in adolescents, with a wide range of family functioning characteristics associated to adolescent depressive symptoms. However, these family attributes have been studied through different studies, methodologies and theoretical frameworks, and do not allow envisaging a single whole picture of the family attributes associated to adolescent depressive symptoms. The objective of this study was to overcome this deficit. We followed a systematic approach and used the Family Assessment Device (FAD), which comprehensively identify six family variables in which healthy and unhealthy families differ: Problem Solving (PS), Communication (CM), Roles (RL), Affective Responsiveness (AR), Affective Involvement (AI) and Behaviour Control (BC). Independent regression analyses conducted for each variable showed that all the FAD variables significantly predicted BDI scores. However, when the six variables were introduced simultaneously in the same equation to control for the shared explained variance, only AR and AI showed significant effects, with BC approaching significance. These results were confirmed through Pratt’s measure, which showed that the non-overlapping effects of AR, AI and BC accounted for virtually the whole variance explained by the FAD dimensions. Conclusions at both methodological and applied levels emerge from these results. At a methodological level, these results prove the need for controlling the shared variance between family variables before deriving any conclusion about their role. At an applied level, they showed that the family affective aspects are the most important regarding adolescent depression, with only behaviour control playing a role within the non-affective variables.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128376017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 44 students (55% boys, ages: M = 15.16, SD = 0.7) from two public high school classes in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil participated in the intervention. The program was structured in two modules, the first one for the work of the socioemotional competences and the second module for the work of the career competences. The program comprised a total of 12 sessions. The sessions were held weekly. The data were obtained through audio records that were transcribed and analyzed based on content analysis. Data were analyzed by intervention session and by classroom. The registration of 20 sessions constitutes the corpus of analysis of this study. Questions about the quality of the activities and about the quality of student participation, in their opinions, were evaluated. The analysis of the frequencies of the registers of the categories of interventions of the psychologist and of the reactions of the students allowed verifying the effectiveness of the intervention. The results show that the school was identified as a place of preparation for work and that the topics covered were considered important for life. Most of the students considered the quality of the activities developed in the intervention as good, and their participation as regular.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115934275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies of psychologists (starting with R. La Pierre’s phenomenon, 1934) often fix the discrepancy between the declared attitude to health and true attitude and behavior. The imperfection of methods of diagnostics of attitude to health may be one of the reasons for such discrepancy. The authors suggest studying the attitude to health of specialists in an organization not only by traditional survey methods (for example, R.A. Berezovskaya ’s (2003) attitude-to-health questionnaire, a questionnaire on studying the barriers of health-seeking behavior by Nikiforova, Rodionova, Vodopyanova, & Dudchenko, 2016.), but also by means of an implicit method (based on the priming effect, implicit associative test).

{"title":"MALLEABILITY OF WORKING MEMORY THROUGH CHESS TRAINING IN SCHOOL CHILDREN","authors":"E. Joseph, Veena Easvaradoss, T. Prabhakaran, Sweta Jain, P. T. A. Office","doi":"10.36315/2019inpact054","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36315/2019inpact054","url":null,"abstract":"Working memory refers to a cognitive processing space where information is received, managed, transformed, and briefly stored. It is an operational process of transforming information for the execution of cognitive tasks in different and novel ways. Many class room activities require children to remember information and mentally manipulate it. While the effect of chess training on intelligence and academic performance has been examined, its impact on working memory needs to be studied. This study, funded by the Cognitive Science Research Initiative, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, analyzed the effect of one-year chess training on the working memory of children. A pretest–posttest with control group design was used. The sample consisted of 88 children in the experimental group and 90 children in the control group. It was selected from children of both the genders studying in school (grades 3 to 9). The experimental group underwent weekly chess training for one year, while the control group was involved in extracurricular activities offered by the school such as cricket, hockey, football etc. Working memory was measured by two subtests of WISC-IV INDIA. The Digit Span Subtest involves recalling a list of numbers of increasing length presented orally in forward and in reverse order, and the Letter–Number Sequencing Subtest involves rearranging jumbled alphabets and numbers presented orally following a given rule. Both tasks require the child to receive and temporarily store information, manipulate it, and present it in a changed format. The children were trained using Winning Moves curriculum, audio-visual learning method, hands-on chess training and recording the games using score sheets, analyze their mistakes, thereby increasing their Meta-Analytical abilities. They were also trained in Opening theory, Checkmating techniques, End-game theory and Tactical principles. Analysis of Covariance revealed that the experimental group had significant gains in working memory compared to the control group. The present study ascertains a link between chess training and working memory. The transfer of chess training to the improvement of working memory could be attributed to the fact that while playing chess, children evaluate positions, visualize new positions in their mind, evaluate the pros and cons of each move, and decide moves based on the information stored in their mind. If working-memory’s capacity could be expanded or made to function more efficiently, it could result in the improvement of executive functions as well as the scholastic performance of the child.","PeriodicalId":295945,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Applications and Trends 2019","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116858995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
