The instrument was tested on a sample of 1,536 students in the first and second cycles of secondary education. The construct validity of the measure and its relationship with other variables, by applying factor techniques, discriminant analysis and multiple regression, was evaluated. Regarding the dimensionality, the confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit of the sensitivity scores to a one-dimensional model, χ2(35) = 45.75, p = .11, RMSEA = .02, CFI = .94 and TLI = .92. The discriminant analysis allowed the classification of subjects’ responses into sensitive, ingenuous and over-interpretative responses according to their cognitive maturity (χ2(6) = 91.19, p < .001) and sex (χ2(2) = 11.23, p = .004). The multiple regression analysis showed that sensitivity is related to sex, self-expression in social situations, acceptance by the father and interpersonal intelligence (multiple validity = .46).","PeriodicalId":42024,"journal":{"name":"Revista De Psicologia Social","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02134748.2017.1385244","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44271092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a predictive variable, we analysed the climate for initiative as well as personal initiative at group level. The resulting variables that were analysed referred to organization and team performance, with the team productivity and innovation as the criteria, analysing radical innovation. The scale has suitable psychometric properties. The results show that there is a relationship between the two predictive variables.

We used a virtual questionnaire which evaluated the frequency of psychological, mild physical and sexual aggression committed and suffered by each member of the dyads. Psychological aggression was the most frequent, and no significant differences were found by sex except in sexual aggression committed by men. The women more often underestimated both the aggression they suffered from and that which they committed, primarily sexual aggression. Bidirectionality was found in all three kinds of aggression, and there was greater agreement between couples when the women were the aggressors than when the men were the perpetrators.

The originally proposed one-factor structure is found using exploratory factor analysis — FACTOR program — with Unweighted Least Squares procedure and optimal implementation of parallel analysis (GFI = .99), along with high internal consistency (α = .93). The Spanish DEN scale shows moderate correlations between environmental concern measures (r = .36 – .44, p < .01) and low-to-moderate correlations with dispositional empathy with humans (r = .30 – .42, p < .05), indicating the distinctiveness of the scale.

FranciscoMorales, at that time a professor at the University of Granada, I experienced the excitement and inherent difficulties that characterize a project of this kind up close. Since then, I have been a faithful reader of the journal and have participated actively in its development and consolidation to the best of my abilities and possibilities. For this reason, when the previous editor, José Manuel Sabucedo, a good friend and outstanding social psychologist, mentioned the possibility of putting forth my name as the new editor of the journal, he knows that I barely hesitated before assenting. And so I would like to express my gratitude to him, to the previous editors (Amalio Blanco, José Miguel Fernández-Dols and Francisco Morales), to Miguel del Río from the Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje and to the publisher, Taylor & Francis, all of whom have entrusted the stewardship of this journal to me since January 2017. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the previous teams and the contributions from those who have viewed the Revista de Psicología Social as an appropriate place to publish their studies, the journal has become a benchmark in social psychology not only in the Spanish-speaking world but also internationally. We aim to continue in the same vein, and to do so, we have added to the editorial team social psychologists from numerous countries — many of them Latin American — all of whom are extremely prestigious in their fields. I would like to thank them here for their swift, affirmative responses to my request. I would particularly like to express my gratitude to Guillermo B. Willis, who agreed to accompany me in this journey as deputy editor. His solid training in both theory and methodology, as well as his efforts to constantly keep abreast of all the debates that are shaking up not only social psychology but also psychology and the sciences in general today, make his contribution to our journal particularly valuable. One of the goals we set out to achieve is to continue to raise the journal’s impact index and improve its position in the international rankings. Given the enormous pressure to which we are subjected, particularly in the Spanish system, to secure six-year research periods and accreditations, or to defend a doctoral thesis, it would be futile to ignore these pressures and disregard impact indexes and quartiles because of their limitations and biases. However, we want to raise the impact factor by improving the quality of the studies published, getting more authors from other countries to think about our journal as a place to publish their","PeriodicalId":42024,"journal":{"name":"Revista De Psicologia Social","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02134748.2017.1352139","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44527518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Study 2 participants themselves were the targets of injustice. In both studies the dependent variable was cognitive performance in a complex task. Specifically, in Study 1, participants solved anagrams, and in Study 2, they solved several Raven matrices. The dependent measures were the number of anagrams and Raven matrices solved correctly. We found that cognitive performance was worse in the unjust condition compared to the just condition (i.e., fewer items solved correctly).

This is a novel approach within the actual interest on emotional intelligence and its role in group results. The participants were 272 subordinates from 52 groups that belonged to different private and public organizations in Spain. They completed a questionnaire including the variables of interest. Our study helps to clarify the relations between TFL perceptions and GEI, showing that TFL and GEI relate at the group level and that TFL is one of the predictors of the perception of GEI in work settings. Thus, the development of emotionally competent transformational leaders will produce emotionally competent groups that might increase their performance, efficiency and other processes (i.e., engagement).","PeriodicalId":42024,"journal":{"name":"Revista De Psicologia Social","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02134748.2017.1352170","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48428520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
