Published: September 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the importance of implementing a customized motor sensory physiotherapy program by recording data about the total days spent and weight gain of preterm infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Methods: Randomized clinical trial of a sample of thirty (30) preterm infants split in two 15-member groups, one intervention group and one control group. An adapted program of motor sensory physiotherapy techniques, while in NICU, was implemented to the intervention group while nothing was implemented to the control group. Both groups met the same entry criteria. The same protocol of motor sensory physiotherapy was applied in the intervention group during the whole period of the study. Results: Data show that customized motor sensory physiotherapy while in NICU improves weight gain and reduces total days of stay. Discussion: Even though adapted motor sensory physiotherapy intervention has a positive impact on the development and outcome of preterm infants in NICU, more research is required on the physiotherapy techniques by studying a larger sample size in NICU.
Analysis of the Impact of Chinese Parenting Styles on Adolescent Social Competence: From a Perspective of Family Systems Theory
Authors: Lee Yuancun 
Published: September 2024

The study explored the impact of Chinese parents' parenting styles on adolescents' social competence from the perspective of family systems theory. Adolescents' social competence is crucial and is related to their academic performance, peer relationships, and psychological well-being. Rapid urbanization, increased pressure on education, and the pervasive influence of technology have dramatically changed the Chinese family, creating a complex environment for adolescent development. Parenting in modern China has shifted from traditional authoritarian approaches to more diverse practices incorporating warmth, emotional support, and democratic participation. This study utilizes qualitative and quantitative research methods to explore how different parenting styles in an interconnected family system affect the development of social competence among Chinese adolescents. By examining authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles under the lens of family systems theory, the study delves into the patterns of parent-adolescent coexistence and understands the systemic impact of family dynamics on individual development. The study integrates the Chinese socio-cultural context within a constructivist perspective to explore parenting practices by analyzing existing research data, as well as family boundaries, communication patterns, emotional climate, conflict resolution styles, and parental expectations and encouragement. The aim is to identify key parenting behaviours and attitudes that promote or impede the development of adolescents' social competence and, ultimately, suggest healthier and more effective parenting practices.

Published: September 2024

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is globally recognized for its role in various gastrointestinal diseases and extra gastric conditions, including hematological anomalies. Understanding the correlation between H. pylori infection and hematological parameters could provide insights into its broader health impacts. Objective: This study evaluated the correlation between H. pylori infection and various demographic, socioeconomic, and hematological parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled patients diagnosed with H. pylori and a matched control group without the infection. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for hematological parameters, including white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), platelet count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and red cell distribution width (RDW). Statistical analyses were performed using t-tests and chi-square tests where appropriate, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The study included patients with statistically significant differences in hematological parameters between the H. pylori-infected and healthy groups. Notably, the infected group showed lower mean HGB (12.41±1.38 g/dl vs. 14.32±1.46 g/dl), RBC count (4.12±0.62x10^6/µL vs. 4.87±0.53x10^6/µL), and HCT (39.17±3.87% vs. 44.52±4.51%), and higher RDW (13.51±2.10% vs. 13.87±1.32%) compared to the control group (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate significant hematological changes associated with H. pylori infection, suggesting a potential impact on the overall health status of affected individuals. These results highlight the importance of considering H. pylori infection in the differential diagnosis of hematological abnormalities and underscore the need for further research to explore the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions.

Published: September 2024

Given the importance of family ties for social skills learning and development, as well as the role of behavior transmission from parent to child, the aim of this paper is to present two studies on intergenerational family relationships. The first study assessed 142 dyads of adult parents and adolescents, and the results showed evidence of intergenerational transmission of various social skills, especially among mothers and their adolescent children. Furthermore, the data show the influence of the relationship between parents and adolescents in the repertoire of social skills of children, suggesting the importance of this relationship. The second study investigated 113 dyads of older parents and adult children. Similarities were found for 29 of the 38 evaluated social skills as well as between the overall scores of social skills for both age groups, which highlights the intergenerational transmission of social skills for elderly parents to their adult children. One has found positive correlations between social skills and relationship quality assessed by parents and children. We discuss the evidence of the intergenerational transmission of social skills and the impact on the quality of family relationships, and the implications of these results for planning intervention programs in social skills and quality of life.

Published: September 2024

A study of an experimental intervention that evaluated the impact of an educational activity in schools to promote tolerance and respect for differences is reported. A total of 300 children participated, divided into three groups: one control (without intervention), and two experimental groups (drama and audiovisual presentation of a children’s story, focusing on the topic of preferences for soccer teams). The intervention was assessed before and after, with a semantic differential scale range in which children attributed positive and negative adjectives to their own team as well as the opposing team. The results showed: (1) a more favorable evaluation of one’s own team maintained during the two specific moments, (2) the initially more unfavorable evaluation, towards the opposing team, improved significantly after the intervention. The implications of the results are discussed in relation to the school social function of improving students’ social-emotional development, as well as the importance of evaluating pedagogical alternatives addressing this objective. Some limitations regarding this study and also research referrals are presented. CITE AS:Del Prette, Z.A.P., Domeniconi, C., Amaro, L, Benitez, P, Laurenti, A. & Del Prette, A. (2013).

This paper addresses the effectiveness of social skills training for the acquisition and improvement of communication skills required in the implementation and development of corporate social responsibility strategies in a SME (Small and Medium Enterprise). A quasi-experimental pre-post design was used, in which 56 senior and middle managers of such enterprise were trained (experimental group), while the comparison group was composed by 28 workers in the same job position at another company in the same productive sector and similar demographic composition. Results showed that scores of trained participants in both adoption of the other-party perspective and empathetic interest scales were higher after than before training. Their scores after training were also higher than those obtained by the comparison group in both variables as well as on an empathy heteroevaluation measure based on semantic differential. Findings and its practical implications for implementing and developing social responsibility strategies are discussed.

Published: September 2024

In the present study we realized a review of articles published on the topic of social skills training during the Decade 2002-2012. PsycInfo database was employed, focusing specifically on review articles and meta-analyses. These articles mainly reviewed clinical and educational trainings, implemented on child and youth populations. We started our work with a critical review of the effectiveness of these trainings, analyzing both strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we discuss some practical recommendations and identify future directions. Specifically, we pointed out: the need to identify the prerequisites for assessing and documenting the effectiveness of training in social skills, guaranteeing the generalization and maintenance of the achievements; the need for adapting trainings to participants’ needs; the need to train and qualifying trainers; the need to expand trainings and ensure their accessibility (by considering those training as a right - and not as luxury element - that should be covered by the corresponding institutions).

Published: September 2024

The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable scale to assess teacher’s perception of the fundamental strengths of a school. There are different scales for assessing school culture and climate, however we wanted to develop an instrument to assess other variables that reflect a good school functioning. First, we create a scale based on the existing instrument and on a literature review of the relevant dimensions of school context for adolescent positive development. Finally, the scale was administered to a sample for analysis of its psychometric properties. The sample consisted of 336 teachers (49,7 % men and 50,3% women) from 25 to 63 years old (M = 41.5, SD = 9.47) who were working at secondary education, in public and private’s centers from Western Andalusia. The results have allowed us to support the adequacy of psychometric properties of the scale and the validity of a model based on unique global factor (school assets). It will be interesting for future research to analyze the external and predictive validity of the instrument. CITE AS:Pertegal Vega, M.A., Hernando Gómez, A. & Oliva Delgado, A. (2011).

Divorcio, custodia y bienestar del menor: una revisión de las investigaciones en Psicología
Authors: TEJEIRO SALGUERO Ricardo , GÓMEZ VALLECILLO Jorge 
Published: September 2024

Child custody evaluation in the context of parental divorce constitutes the main area of intervention within Legal Psychology. The numerous factors that contribute to the child well-being –which is Justice’s main reference in those cases– should be individually analyzed, but such an analysis must be solidly based on previous empirical research literature. This work reviews the available empirical data on the differential effects between shared and sole custody. A majority of researchers found that, other factors being equal, shared custody provides more benefits for the child well-being than sole custody, with a direct effect on the child behavior and emotions and also with an indirect effect through the reduction of parental conflict. Notwithstanding, a number of studies have not found any difference between both types of custody. CITE AS:Tejeiro Salguero, R. & Gómez Vallecillo, J. (2011).

Research shows that reinforcing self-efficacy of individuals is one of the most effective strategies to promote physical activity as a regular practice. Whereas self-efficacy is a determinant of health behaviors, the need to implement plans for the promotion of physical activity covering self-efficacy as goal of change becomes evident. These programs seek not only behavioral performance but also its maintenance over time as a healthy habit. This paper wants to give answers to three key questions posed by this type of intervention: how to assess self-efficacy for physical exercise, how to get people who start a physical activity program to gain more confidence in their own capacities to initiate and maintain physical activity, and how to guide health professionals in this process.

The aim of this study is to extend previous research which has analyzed the relationship between religious beliefs and prejudice. This research included two samples: Muslims (N=210) and Christians (N=244). The variables studied were as follows: beliefs (Brigham, 1993), anti-immigrant and pro-immigrant judgements (Katz & Hass, 1988), positive and negative emotions (Stephan y Stephan, 1985), discrimination, linking (Tropp, 2003), favourability (Tropp y Pettigrew, 2005), internal and external motivation to respond without prejudice (Plant & Devine, 1998). Religious fervour and linking to the community of origin have also been considered. The analysis shows that the used instrument is valid and the levels of prejudice are moderate in both samples. In addition, a significant and positive correlation between the religious fervour and the different measure of prejudice was observed.
