Fibromyalgia patients value their pain as modern high and they perceive it more as a threat than as a challenge (Ayan, 2011). There is a relative consensus related to catastrophic thoughts that seems to play an important role in the maintenance of chronic pain (Esteve, Ramírez and López, 2001). The objective of the present study was to explore the level of catastrophism in women with and without fibromyalgia. Adult women (n = 39) with an average of 47 years old (TD: 12.14) and more than 12 years schooling, paired with healthy controls (n = 39) with similar characteristics. Patients with fibromyalgia were previously diagnosed according to ACR (American College of Rheumatology). This was a cross-sectional study, comparative and quantitative cut. An ANOVA was used to compare both groups. The level of catastrophism was measured through the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (Sullivan, Bishop and Pivick, 1995). Scale composed of 13 questions and three subscales: rumination, magnification and hopelessness. This instrument has been tested in both clinical and non-clinical populations (Osman et al., 2000; Sullivan et al., 1995). Rumination, magnification and hopelessness were trend significantly higher in the women group with Fibromyalgia. [Rumination: F (1.36) = 6.22; P = 0.00]; [Magnification: F (1.36) = 17.66; P = 0.00]; [Hopelessness: F (1.36) = 6.53; P = 0.00]. These results allowed that the total catastrophism level was higher in the women group with Fibromyalgia and that the statistical significance level was reached [F (1.36) = 9.89; P = 0.00). This type of studies will allow to study the pain as a multidimensional entity comprised of physical, cognitive and affective aspects.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

El propósito fundamental del presente artículo es explorar, desde un punto de vista teórico, los estudios que se han ejecutado en el siglo XXI sobre inteligencia y sus aplicaciones en los diversos contextos o escenarios sociales y organizacionales. Para lo cual se desarrolló una revisión de literatura en bases de datos de alto impacto, repositorios institucionales y bibliotecas físicas y virtuales, con el propósito de abarcar la mayor cantidad de información publicada. En términos de resultados, está claro que la inteligencia y sus teorías son un constructo que ha despertado gran interés en estudiosos de diversos ámbitos de la ciencia. Adicionalmente, se evidencia que uno de los entornos donde más se pone en práctica las teorías es en el educativo con un especial énfasis en la teoría de la inteligencia emocional. Como conclusión general, se sostiene que en el presente siglo la aplicabilidad de las teorías permite debatir sobre la efectividad de las mismas.

Introducción: La adolescencia es vital para el desarrollo del ser humano y se caracteriza por una serie de transformaciones y demandas a nivel físico, cognitivo y emocional. A partir de esto, surgen cuestionamientos sobre una posible relación entre autorregulación emocional, estrategias de afrontamiento y comportamiento prosocial en esta población. Objetivo: Revisar sistemáticamente estudios realizados entre 2009 y 2019, en torno a la autorregulación emocional, estrategias de afrontamiento y comportamiento prosocial. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de literatura, bajo los parámetros de Preferred ReportingItems for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Se efectuó una búsqueda de estudios publicados en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect y Redalyc, con las siguientes palabras clave: motional self-regulation, prosocial behavior, coping y adolescents. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: artículos empíricos en inglés, portugués o español publicados entre el 2009 y el 2019 con muestras caracterizadas por adolescentes sanos. Resultados: Se identificaron un total de 69 estudios, de los cuales 9 fueron escogidos como muestra final en la revisión de acuerdo con los criterios de elegibilidad, inclusión y exclusión. Se encontró relación significativa entre las variables tratadas en este texto y mediación entre autorregulación emocional y comportamiento prosocial. Conclusiones: Se evidenciaron pocas investigaciones dirigidas a estudiar estos tres constructos, sin embargo, a través de diferentes trabajos se ha podido demostrar la relación entre estos, la incidencia que tienen entre sí y la importancia de ampliar las posibilidades de su investigación, medición y análisis en diferentes contextos.

The forced displacement in Montería, a region from the Colombian Caribbean could become a risk factor for the existence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), nevertheless, there isn’t data of the prevalence of this disorder.AimTo identify the prevalence of the PTSD and associated events in adults victims of the displacement in the city of Montería.MethodTransversal and explorative study, 117 adults (M: 40,41; SD: 13,14). The PTSD was verified with the checklist for PTSD (Weathers, Litz, herman, Huska & Keane, 1993) and according to criteria of DSM-5 (APA, 2014). The 3 factors associated with the disorder were analyzed according to age groups. To evaluate the events associated to the disorder was used the checklist of events (Blake, Weathers & Nagy, 1990). Occurred and witnessed by the subject events were analyzed. Descriptive were used to determinate the existence of the PTSD and an ANOVA to contrast the symptomatology of the PTSD by age groups.ResultsThe 26,49% (n = 31) of the sample had the clinic criteria of PTSD. An ANOVA of a factor evidenced that the activation was present in a biggest proportion in the range of 53-59 years old (M = 18.73); intrusion and avoidance was shown mostly in the range of 60-71 years old (intrusion M = 14.00; avoidance M = 14.85). In relation to the associated events occurred to the subjects, there was found that the highest incidence were: natural disasters (42.7%) and unexpected death (35.9%); the witnessed events with higher percentage where: unexpected death (19.70%) and traffic accidents (15.4%).References not available.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionTobacco craving is an intense desire to smoke. Cue-induced craving is considered the main responsible for relapse after smoking cessation. Cue Exposure Treatment (CET) consists of controlled and repeated exposure to stimuli associated with substance use in order to reduce craving associated.ObjectiveTo analyze the pattern of craving response of smokers exposed to Virtual Reality environments.MethodsForty-six smokers were exposed randomly to complex virtual scenes of 6 minutes long duration with smoking related cues that reproduce typical situations where people use to smokes. Craving was assessed before each exposure and 6 times during navigation with a visual analogic scale. For this secondary analysis the evolution of craving response were explored for the environments that produced the most and the least craving responses.ResultsIn the environment that produced the highest craving level, the pattern of response remains similar after the second assessment during the exposure, that is, after two minutes. For the environment that trigger the lowest levels, the responses gradually increased during the exposure and the highest level appeared in the last craving assessment, after 6 minutes.ConclusionsThis study has several implications. In the first place, virtual reality environments are able to elicit craving. In the second, we found that differents patterns of craving response exist in response to VR environments. Furthermore, the results obtained in the present study may be useful for cessation programs that include CET, in which is it necessary to know the pattern of desire during the exposure.
