Se analizo la validez de constructo, su invariancia en funcion del sexo y la edad y los niveles de fiabilidad. Se trabajo sobre una muestra no probabilistica, intencional (N = 303). Los participantes eran estudiantes de nivel secundario, 95 varones (n = 95) y 208 mujeres (n = 208), radicados en la ciudad de Parana, Entre Rios. El instrumento sobre el cual se realizo la adaptacion es un inventario breve, compuesto por 10 items y en su version original se encuentra en ingles. La escala presenta dos dimensiones: Regulacion Optimay Apertura a la Experiencia de Vida. Los resultados del Analisis Factorial Confirmatorio permiten corroborar que la escala es multidimensional. Con respecto a la consistencia interna, el coeficiente de confiabilidad fue adecuado tanto para la puntuacion total de la Escala como para las dos dimensiones analizadas separadamente. Se encontro que el modelo bifactorial se ajusta bien tanto a los varones como las mujeres, siendo invariante en cuanto al sexo y tambien en cuanto a la edad. Estos hallazgos son consistentes con lo propuesto por diversos autores. Asi, es posible afirmar que las propiedades psicometricas de la adaptacion al idioma espanol realizada en Entre Rios, Argentina, de este instrumento son satisfactorios. Abstract The main objective of this work is to evaluate the psycho­metric properties of the adaptation to the Spanish language of the Revised Self Resilience Scale (Ego-Resilience Scale - R) of Alessandri et al. (2007) and Vecchione et al. (2010) in the adolescent population of Entre Rios, Argen­tina from 11 to 17 years old. He analyzed the validity of the construct, its invariance according to sex and age and the levels of reliability. It is required on a non-probabilis­tic, intentional sample (N = 303). The students were sec­ondary level students, 95 men (n = 95) and 208 women (n = 208), based in the city of Parana, Entre Rios. The in­strument on which the adaptation was made is a short in­ventory, consisting of 10 items and in its original version is in English. The scale has two dimensions: Optimal Reg­ulation and Opening to the Experience of Life. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis allow corroborating the scale is multidimensional. With respect to internal con­sistency, the reliability coefficient was adequate both for the total score of the Scale and for the two dimensions an­alyzed separately. They found that the bifactorial model fits both men and women well, being invariant in terms of sex and also in terms of age. These findings are consistent with what is proposed by various authors.

Abstract One of the core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is the deficit in the socio-emotional area, showing atypical response patterns to social stimuli and responding with different levels of activation or arousal (hyperexcita­tion or hypoexcitation). Some investigations have shown how exposure to negative valence images has an effect on the subsequent recognition of emotions in a population without ASD. In contrast, the few studies that exist on emotional permeability in people with ASD show atypical patterns of physiological response to the induction of emo­tions. In the present investigation, the impact of \"negative\" emotional induction is analyzed, through images of the In­ternational Affective Picture System (IAPS, Lang et al., 1995), in the recognition of emotions through the face through Facial Discrimination Battery (FDB; Rojahn et al., 2006), in a group of 31 adults with ASD and intellec­tual disability. An ANOVA of repeated measures was per­formed and the results demonstrated the existence of a cer­tain emotional \"impermeability\", since the induction of emotions did not influence the subsequent emotional recognition.

However, research has mainly focused on school-aged children. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors in early life for overweight in a community sample of Spanish preschoolers. A sample of 622 three-year-olds was monitored until the age of 5, and their height and weight were registered annually. Overweight status was defined by World Health Organization standards. A large set of risk factors including sociodemographic variables, family structure, pregnancy, birth, postnatal period, school and neighborhood were measured through semi-structured interviews. Stepwise logistic regressions created predictive models with the best predictors of overweight for each age group. This is the first longitudinal study to examine a large set of risk factors among Spanish preschoolers. Several potential early risk factors in preschool children were associated with later overweight: high birth weight, ethnicity, excess screen time, low attention span, maternal smoking during pregnancy, inconsistent discipline, fewer rules, corporal punishment and parents psychopathology. Among them, the most powerful factor was high birth-weight (odds ratio = 1.89 at age 3, 1.87 at age 4, and 2.35 at age 5), underlining the importance of weight monitoring from postpartum and routine screening for overweight in children who have high birth weight. With the increasing prevalence of overweight in children at early ages, understanding the determinants for overweight risk becomes crucial for public health professionals and policy-makers in order to implement effective prevention and intervention programs ","PeriodicalId":43927,"journal":{"name":"Accion Psicologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5944/AP.16.1.22098","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48280044","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}
