El estudio analiza las características laborales (externas y de contenido) de emigrantes españoles en países europeos (Reino Unido y Alemania), así como su relación con las dimensiones del síndrome de burnout. También si estas variables son predictivas de la satisfacción con la vida. Con una muestra de 679 personas, se obtiene que a peores condiciones laborales (externas y de contenido), mayores son los niveles de agotamiento emocional y cinismo y menores de eficacia profesional (y viceversa). Asimismo, entre otras conclusiones, se señala que se observan diferencias en las dimensiones del burnout y las características laborales del contenido del trabajo en función del ajuste del puesto al nivel de formación y el tiempo de residencia en el país de destino. Por último, se obtiene que las condiciones laborales, el cinismo y la eficacia profesional son factores predictivos de la satisfacción con la vida, pero no así el agotamiento emocional.

Violence against women in heterosexual intimate relationships is a major social problem with serious physical and psychological consequences for the victims. There is a line of research that seeks to analyze how ideological variables and contextual variables influence the way in which this type of violence is perceived. This study analyzed the relationship between hostile sexism, benevolent sexism and social dominance in the acceptance of the myths about violence against women in intimate relationships. A total of 215 Spanish university students (125 women and 90 men) participated in the research. The results indicate that hostile sexism and social dominance orientation act as factors that influence the acceptance of such myths in men. Benevolent sexism did not act in this way. The data reconfirm the importance of hostile sexism and social dominance orientation in the perception of violence against women, in this case, that which is committed by their partners (or ex-partners) in the area of intimate relationships.

Refugees represent a population whose living conditions have a strong impact on their mental health. High rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), more than other mental disorders, have been found in this group, with women having the highest incidence. The objective of the present systematic review was to identify and examine studies from the last fifteen years on the relationship between the impact of traumatic experiences and PTSD psychopathology in refugee women. Twelve studies were included, from which the overall results approved this relation. In addition, six of these studies show that exposure to sexual trauma in refugee women is associated with the high odds of being at risk for PTSD. These findings suggest that gender-related traumatic experiences can explain the high rate of PTSD in refugee women and highlight the unmet need for psychosocial health care in this population.

Se analiza la relación entre sentido de comunidad, fatalismo y participación en un contexto de crisis socioeconómica como el actual. Para ello se establecen diferencias en estas variables según distintos factores socioeconómicos: tener empleo, clase social percibida e ingresos mensuales. Se distinguen dos tipos de participación: comunitaria y sociopolítica. Con una muestra de 759 personas, los resultados muestran niveles medios en sentido de comunidad, medios-bajos en fatalismo y bajos en los dos tipos de participación. Se obtienen correlaciones significativas entre las variables: positivas para las dos dimensiones de participación con sentido de comunidad y negativas con fatalismo. El análisis de regresión indica que sentido de comunidad y fatalismo son factores predictivos para la conducta participativa. Por lo tanto, sentirse parte de la comunidad lleva a participar en ella, ya sea a través de comportamientos comunitarios o de conductas que persigan un cambio social. Pero la creencia de que el futuro ya está escrito inhibe ambos tipos de participación. En ello también influirá la percepción de estatus socioeconómico.

This study analyzes whether the degree of social identity and the degree of emotional connection influence the subjective well-being of individuals that participated in collective acts of support for health personnel fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic. Our sample was composed of 810 participants who resided in Spain (339 women and 471 men) with an average age of 34.22 (SD = 12.56). All of them frequently participated in the acts of support that took place each day of the lockdown decreed by the National Government on 14 March 2020. The results show that the greater identification with the group (the country) and the greater the emotional connection, the higher the scores obtained in subjective well-being. The results also show that emotional connection had a positive effect on emotional subjective well-being, mediated by the social identity activated in the collective act. The results are interpreted from the perspective of social identity that highlights the role played by social identity in influencing health and subjective well-being.
