- ItemOpen AccessThe links of subjective and psychological well-being with the Dark Triad traits: A meta-analysis(Wiley, 2023) Blasco Belled, Ana; Tejada Gallardo, Claudia; Alsinet, Carles; Rogoza, RadosławObjective The aim of this study is to investigate the specific links that the Dark Triad traits have with subjective and psychological well-being through a meta-analysis of the existing literature. Background Over the past few years, associations between the Dark Triad traits and well-being have been a stimulating but understudied topic in personality research. Method: Cross-sectional, correlational studies examining these relationships were searched in the PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. Meta-analyses were performed at the dimension- and facet-level to account for the multidimensional structure of the Dark Triad traits. Results A total of 55 studies were included (n = 26,252). In general, grandiose narcissism and boldness/dominance related to higher well-being, while vulnerable narcissism, antagonism, disinhibition, and Machiavellianism related to lower levels of well-being. Age and gender moderated few of these associations. Conclusions We recommend including multidimensional measures of the Dark Triad traits as an essential step to move the field forward.
- ItemOpen AccessClassifcation of pain intensity with the pain beliefs and perceptions inventory (PBPI) and the pain catastrophizing scales (PCS)(Springer, 2023) Blanch Plana, Angel; Solé Cases, SilviaPurpose The pain beliefs and perceptions inventory (PBPI) and the pain catastrophizing scales (PCS) characterize beliefs or distress dimensions of the pain experience. It is relatively unknown, however, to what degree the PBPI and the PCS are well suited to classifying pain intensity. Methods This study applied a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) approach to these instruments against the criterion of a visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain intensity with fbromyalgia and chronic back pain patients (n=419). Results The largest areas under the curve (AUC) were moderate and limited to the constancy subscale (71%) and total score (70%) of the PBPI and to the helplessness subscale (75%) and total score (72%) of the PCS. The best cut-of scores for the PBPI and PCS were better of at detecting true negatives than true positives, with larger specifcity than sensitivity values. Conclusion Whereas, the PBPI and PCS are certainly useful instruments to evaluate diverse pain experiences, they may be inappropriate to classify intensity. The PCS performs marginally better than the PBPI for classifying pain intensity.
- ItemOpen AccessUn viaje de exploración interior: Emociones y estado de ánimo en la práctica motriz introyectiva(Servicio de Publicaciones, Universidad de Murcia, 2014) Rovira Bahillo, Glòria; López Ros, Víctor; Lagardera Otero, Francisco; Lavega i Burgués, Pere; March Llanes, JaumeEsta contribución muestra los efectos que las prácticas motrices introyectivas (PMI) de cooperación tuvieron sobre la vivencia emocional y el estado de ánimo de un grupo de 91 estudiantes universitarios. Sus objetivos fueron: investigar si las PMI de cooperación afectan a la intensidad de las emociones positivas, negativas y ambiguas en hombres y mujeres; identificar si modifican la intensidad del estado de ánimo; y comprobar si poseer historial deportivo afectaba o no a la intensidad de la vivencia emocional y el estado de ánimo. Los instrumentos de recogida de datos fueron el cuestionario GES (Games and Emotion Scale) y el POMS (Profile of Moods States). El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante un modelo basado en ecuaciones de estimación generalizadas (GEE). Las PMI de cooperación provocaron valores intensos de emociones positivas, valores intermedios de emociones ambiguas y valores inferiores de emociones negativas. Después de las PMI disminuyó significativamente la intensidad del estado de ánimo en los factores de Tensión-Ansiedad; Rabia-Hostilidad y Vigor-Actividad. Se comprobó que los participantes con historial deportivo experimentaron con menor intensidad las emociones negativas y tenían estados de ánimo menos intensos en el factor Tensión-Ansiedad. Puede concluirse que las PMI cooperativas estimulan la vivencia de emociones positivas y tienen efectos positivos en el estado de ánimo de los participantes.
- ItemOpen AccessEvaluation of Preservice Teachers’ Performance in School through Video Observations during the COVID-19 Pandemic(Eurasian Society of Educational Research, 2023) Peguera Carré, Maria Carme; Coiduras Rodríguez, Jordi L.; Aguilar Camaño, David; Blanch Plana, AngelLesson study, observation and analysis are relevant to professional development and initial teacher education. As a strategy, it helps to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The health conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic forced the restriction of the tutors’ direct observation of preservice teachers at school. This study analyses preservice teachers’ performance through video observations to evaluate their professional activity at school during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fifteen Items Revised Tsang-Hester Observation Rubric (FIR-THOR) was administered to a sample of 166 preservice teachers in their internship schools and their video recordings each one of 45-minute teaching lessons were analysed. The results show that the FIR-THOR appears as a robust instrument, which allows us to conclude that the instrument works well in the three five-items dimensions that compose it - Instruction, Management, and Assessment - proving to be reliable for assessing teacher intervention in the classroom. Among the three dimensions, the preservice teachers’ performance stands out in the Management of the classroom, as well as in the classroom Instruction. This contribution is relevant considering the potential of lesson analysis in learning and professional development during initial teacher training.
- ItemOpen AccessEl valor de la interculturalidad en los proyectos educativos y de convivencia de las escuelas españolas: el caso de Cataluña(Universidad de Oviedo, 2023) Cerviño Abeledo, Irimia; Torrelles Montanuy, ÀngelsEl aumento del alumnado de origen extranjero en las escuelas españolas ha provocado que desde finales del siglo XX se planteen nuevos retos educativos y se desarrollen planes y proyectos con enfoque intercultural dentro del marco de inclusión y convivencia. Este trabajo pretende profundizar en el nivel de reconocimiento de la diversidad cultural en la documentación oficial de las escuelas de Educación Primaria españolas y conocer la gestión de la convivencia desde una perspectiva intercultural en relación con la variable de presencia de alumnado extranjero en el centro educativo. La metodología utilizada, de carácter mixto, se basa en una encuesta telefónica aplicada en 1.730 centros de educación primaria de España y 4 etnografías escolares en Cataluña. De los resultados se extrae, por un lado, la necesidad de poner en marcha acciones, planes y proyectos de convivencia intercultural en escuelas con bajos porcentajes de alumnado diverso culturalmente y, por otro lado, la existencia de conflictos relacionados con la diversidad cultural, especialmente debido al racismo y/o xenofobia.
