“…Like the children, the mothers and fathers also completed a measure of their locus of control (Rotter, 1966). In addition, each parent also completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch & Lushene, 1970) and the Emotional Maturity Scale (Dean, 1966). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory consists of two 20-item subscales measuring situational (state), and more enduring (trait) degrees of apprehension and tension.…”

The present study explores the relative importance of individual, dyadic and triadic measures of intrafamily functioning in predicting family health. Using self‐report data from 78 families, it was found that dyadic measures pertaining to marital quality and parent‐child relationships were more powerful predictors than either individual measures of emotional maturity, anxiety, self‐esteem or locus of control, or triadic measures of the families' hierarchical alignments. The study also found that while mothers' and fathers' assessments of intrafamily functioning were more important than the childrens' (except for the childrens' view of parent‐child relationships), the parents differed in that marital quality was more important to the mothers' evaluations of the family unit while parent‐child relationships were more important to the fathers'. Compositely, the findings suggest that family health is a complex multidimensional phenomenon, and that change in a particular dimension of family life may not necessarily be greeted with consensual validation or repudiation by all family members.

“…In the time since Terman's (1938) classic study, a large quantity of data have been collected that are generally consistent with it (Dean, 1966;Eysenck, 1980;Pickford, Signori, & Rempel, 1966). One criticism that can be wielded against all of this work is that measures of personality and marriage were obtained at roughly the same point in time.…”

The concept of "reproductive strategy" drawn from the field of behavioral ecology is applied to the study of childhood experience and interpersonal development in order to develop an evolutionary theory of socialization. The theory is presented in terms of 2 divergent development pathways considered to promote reproductive success in the contexts in which they have arisen. One is characterized, in childhood, by a stressful rearing environment and the development of insecure attachments to parents and subsequent behavior problems; in adolescence by early pubertal development and precocious sexuality; and, in adulthood, by unstable pair bonds and limited investment in child rearing, whereas the other is characterized by the opposite. The relation between this theory and prevailing theories of socialization, specifically, attachment, social-learning, and discrete-emotions theory, is considered and research consistent with our evolutionary theory is reviewed. Finally, directions for future research are discussed.

International Journal of Psychological Research, 4(1),[70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79] 70International Journal of Psychological Research El concepto de salud: Una explicación sobre su unicidad, multiplicidad y los modelos de salud.The concept of health: An explanation of its uniqueness, multiplicity and health models Fernando Juárez Universidad del Rosario ABSTRACTIt is showed a health perspective with multiple meanings and the need to use multiple models. From the ancient concept of negative health, which continues in full force, to models of positive health, there is a long road full of theoretical approaches and models, among which are the biopsychosocial model, the salutogenic model, the positive health model from positive psychology, the holistic model, the model of personal choice, the model of health as welfare, the model of health as maturity, the model of emotional intelligence as health, and the health model of resilience as health, among others. The use of these models, in a proper manner, enhances the professional work and makes more efficient use of health resources.Key words: Health, wellness, holism, biopsychosocial, positive psychology. RESUMENSe presenta una perspectiva de salud con múltiples significados y la necesidad de utilización de múltiples modelos. Desde el antiguo concepto de salud negativa, el cual continua con plena vigencia, hasta los modelos de salud positiva, existe un largo camino lleno de aproximaciones teóricas y modelos diferentes, entre los que se encuentran el modelo biopsicosocial, el modelo salutogénico, el modelo de salud positiva desde la psicología positiva, el modelo holista, el modelo de elección personal, el modelo de salud como bienestar, el modelo de salud como madurez, el modelo de salud como inteligencia emocional y el modelo de salud como resiliencia, entre otros. La utilización de dichos modelos, de manera apropiada, enriquece el trabajo profesional y hace un uso más eficiente de los recursos de salud.
