Innovation is undoubtedly one of the key factors in assessing the best contemporary pedagogical outcomes. Our paper approaches the notion of virtual learning-service as an innovative modality that allows the inclusion and development of this methodology in distance or virtual educational environments. Specifically, we seek to provide a definition based on experience that also serves to identify elements and practices that allow others to start in this particular modality of service-learning. Therefore, we try to reflect on what elements and related practices help to define the development of this type of project. We believe that this reflexive approach would allow us to conceptualize the experience in a specific project of virtual learning-service and identify the key elements that would allow for replication in other contexts.

Although perfectionism has long been established as an important risk factor for depressive mood and eating disorders, the mechanisms through which this temperamental predisposition mediates the relationship between depressive mood and eating disorder symptoms are still relatively unclear. In this study we hypothesized that both perfectionism dimensions, self-oriented perfectionism and socially prescribed perfectionism, would mediate the relationship between current symptoms of depression and eating disorders in a non-clinical sample of Spanish undergraduate females. Two hundred sixteen female undergraduate students of the University Complutense of Madrid (Spain) completed the Spanish versions of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), OBQ-44, and BDI-II and BAI. Results demonstrated the importance of socially prescribed perfectionism in mediation of the relationship between depressive mood and symptoms of eating disorders. Socially prescribed perfectionism mediates the relationship between depressive mood and eating disorder symptoms for female college students.
