“…In particular, the intervals proposed by [46] were 4-13 points for low resilience, 14-16 points for medium resilience and 17-20 points for high resilience. Example of item: "I am looking for creative ways to change difficult situations" (item 1) The BRCS has reached in its Spanish version a Cronbanch's Alpha of 0.87 [48]. In this study it reached 0.78.…”

The aggressor sets in motion dysfunctional and violent behaviors with others in the dynamic of bullying. These behaviors can be understood as misfit coping strategies in response to environmental demands perceived as stressful, putting at risk the quality of education. The aim of this study was to develop a predictive model based on artificial neural networks (ANN) to forecast a violent coping strategy based on perceived stress, resilience, other coping strategies and various socio-demographic variables. For this purpose, the Stress Coping Questionnaire (SCQ), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) were administered to 283 participants from the educational field (71.5% women). The design was cross-sectional. An inferential analysis (multilayer perception ANN) was performed with SPSS version 24. The results showed a predictive model that took into consideration the subject’s stress levels, personal assessment and strategies such as negative self-targeting or avoidance to predict open emotional expression (a coping strategy defined by violent behaviors) in approximately four out of five cases. The conclusions emphasis the need for considering problem solving, stress management and coping skills to prevent school violence and improve the social environment through sustainable psychological measures.

“…Furthermore, the association between distractions, age and risk perception, traffic crashes suffered while cycling during the previous five years, and the potential mediation of this relationship with cycling errors and normative violations, were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). Weighted Least Square Mean and Variance Corrected (WLSMV) estimation was used, given that some data were ordinal and that the assumption of multivariate normality was not met ( Caycho-Rodríguez et al, 2018 ; Finney & DiStefano, 2013 ). The model fit was evaluated through several statistics and indices from different logics and families.…”

BackgroundUndisputedly, traffic crashes constitute a public health concern whose impact and importance have been increasing during the past few decades. Specifically, road safety data have systematically shown how cyclists are highly vulnerable to suffering traffic crashes and severe injuries derived from them. Furthermore, although the empirical evidence is still very limited in this regard, in addition to other human factors involved in cycling crashes, distractions while cycling appear to be a major contributor to the road risk of cyclists.ObjectivesThe main objectives of this study were, first, to explore the prevalence and trends of cycling distractions within an international sample of bike users, and second, to determine the influence of such distractions on road crashes suffered by cyclists, simultaneously considering the explanatory role of risky behaviors (errors and traffic violations) as potentially mediating variables between cycling distractions and traffic crashes.MethodsFor this cross-sectional study, we analyzed the data obtained from 1,064 cyclists—61.2% male and 38.8% female—from 20 different countries, who answered an on-line questionnaire on cycling-related features, habits, behaviors and accidents.ResultsThe prevalence of different cycling distractions oscillated between 34.7% and 83.6%. The most common distractions were those related to the behavior of other users, physical elements of the road, weather conditions and phone calls. Age trends and differences were also found, thus establishing a positive association between age and distractibility during cycling. Furthermore, the effect of distractions on traffic crashes of cyclists was significant when tested together with age, risk perception and risky behaviors on the road.ConclusionThe results of this study support the hypotheses that distractions have a major prevalence among bike users, and that they play a significant role in the prediction of the traffic crash rates of cyclists, through the mediation of risky behaviors.

“…De esta forma, por ejemplo, investigaciones previas indican que la salud percibida (5) y el funcionamiento cognitivo (6) influyen en la percepción de la calidad de vida. Así también, existe una relación positiva entre la calidad de vida, el bienestar y la satisfacción con la vida (7,8) . Además, una buena percepción de la calidad de vida influye en el funcionamiento comportamental, la voluntad de vivir y el envejecimiento exitoso (6,9) .…”

Introducción: Los adultos mayores experimentan cambios a nivel físico, cognitivo, social y emocional que tienen un impacto en su calidad de vida. Por lo tanto, resulta necesario disponer de instrumentos con adecuadas propiedades de medición para identificar y medir esta variable, de modo que las inferencias o interpretaciones sean válidas para la toma de decisiones. Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las propiedades de medición del cuestionario de calidad de vida WHOQOL-OLD en adultos mayores peruanos institucionalizados.Método: Participaron 300 adultos mayores de 65 años (Medad=78.41) institucionalizados en un asilo de la ciudad de Lima, donde 173 (57.7%) fueron hombres y 127 (42.3%) fueron mujeres. Se analizó la estructura interna del WHOQOL-OLD a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) y la validez convergente con el Índice de Calidad de Vida (ICV). Asimismo, se estimaron puntuaciones de fiabilidad y se obtuvo un baremo para la muestra de estudio.Resultados: Los resultados indican que la estructura de seis factores del WHOQOL-OLD presenta un ajuste satisfactorio con los datos (CFI = .97; TLI = .97; SRMR = .02; RMSEA= .06) y una adecuada consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach entre .94 y .98). Asimismo, se evidencian relaciones significativas con las dimensiones autonomía (rs = .13, p < .05) y participación social del ICV (rs = .16, p < .01).Conclusiones: El cuestionario de calidad de vida WHOQOL-OLD cuenta con evidencias empíricas de validez y fiabilidad que lo sitúan como un instrumento adecuado para medir la variable de la calidad de vida. Introduction: Older adults experience physical, cognitive, social, and emotional changes that impact their quality of life. It is therefore necessary to have instruments with appropriate measurement properties to identify and measure this variable, so that inferences or interpretations are valid for decision-making.Objective: This study analyzes the measurement properties of the WHOQOL-OLD questionnaire for Peruvian institutionalized seniors.Method: Participants included 300 adults over 65 years (Mage=78.41) institutionalized in a nursing home in the city of Lima, of which 173 (57.7%) were men and 127 (42.3%) were women. The internal structure of the WHOQOL-OLD was assessed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), whereas the convergent validity was analyzed using the Quality of Life Index (QLI). In addition, reliability scores were calculated and a scale for the study sample was obtained.Results: The results show that the structure of the six factors involved in the WHOQOL-OLD is suitably adjusted to data (CFI = .97; TLI = .97; SRMR = .02; RMSEA = .06), with proper internal consistency (Cronbach’s α ranging from .94 to .98). Likewise, it is possible to observe significant relationships with the autonomy (rs = .13, p < .05) and social involvement (rs = .16, p < .01) dimensions included in the QLI.Conclusions: The WHOQOL-OLD Quality of Life Questionnaire has empirical evidence of validity and reliability that makes it an appropriate instrument to measure the quality of life variable.
