“…Cuando un "problema" afecta al 50% de la población, o acaso sólo al 25%, considerarlo como "psicopatológico" parece poco adecuado, y mucho menos hablar de "patología social" de carácter "epidémico", términos que pueden tener su acomodo en los mass media, pero que carecen de relevancia científica. Probablemente sea necesario acelerar el cambio de paradigma que sugieren algunos autores, abandonando la tendencia a la psiquiatrización de cualquier acontecimiento y orientando la investigación a los elementos ambientales que favorecen los nuevos comportamientos (Pemberton y Wainwright, 2014), algo que se reclama con urgencia desde hace años en el campo específico de las adicciones (Deacon y McKay, 2015;Hall, Carter y Forlini, 2015). Desde el primer enfoque, cabe esperar, como en el caso de la adicción a sustancias, la acumulación de pruebas de "comorbilidad" y "diagnósti-cos duales", que poco o nada aporten a la comprensión y la solución de los problemas (p.…”

Resumenhas in recent years become a topic of great interest. Current discussion addresses whether it must be considered addictive behaviour and if it is a problem that primarily affects adolescents and youth. This study aims to understand the problems that affect people of all ages in controlling the use of these ICTs and whether they are related to mental health problems, stress and difficulties in executive control of behaviour. A survey was administered through social networks and email, using the MULTICAGE-ICT, a questionnaire that explores problems in the use of Internet, mobile phones, video games, instant messaging and social networks. Additionally, the Prefrontal Symptom Inventory, General Health Questionnaire and Perceived Stress Scale were administered. The sample was comprised of 1,276 individuals of all ages from different Spanish-speaking countries. The results indicate that about 50% of the sample, regardless of age or other variables, presents significant problems with the use of these technologies, and that these problems are directly related to symptoms of poor prefrontal functioning, stress and mental health problems.The results reveal the need for reconsidering whether we are facing an addictive behaviour or a new problem demanding environmental, psychological, sociological and sociopolitical explanations; therefore, it is necessary to reformulate actions to be implemented to address and refocus our understanding of the problem. El uso/abuso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) es un tema que suscita enorme interés en los últimos años. Está en discusión si debe recibir la consideración de conducta adictiva y si es un problema que afecte prioritariamente a adolescentes y jóvenes.El presente estudio pretende conocer los problemas que afectan a las personas de todas las edades en el control del uso de estas TICs y si están relacionados con problemas de salud mental, estrés y dificultades en el control superior del comportamiento. Se realiza una encuesta a través de redes sociales y correo electrónico, en el que se administra el cuestionario MULTICAGE-TIC, que explora problemas en el uso de Internet, teléfono móvil, videojuegos, mensajería instantánea y redes sociales. Adicionalmente se administra el Inventario de Síntomas Prefrontales, el Cuestionario de Salud General y la Escala de Estrés Percibido. Se obtiene una muestra de 1.276 sujetos de todas las edades y diferentes países de habla hispana. Los resultados apuntan a que alrededor del 50% de la muestra presenta importantes problemas en el uso de estas tecnologías, y que esos problemas se relacionan directamente con síntomas de mal funcionamiento prefrontal, estrés y problemas de salud mental, independientemente de la edad u otras variables. Estos resultados sugieren reconsiderar si se trata de una patología adictiva o si estamos ante un problema novedoso que requiere de explicaciones de índole ambiental, psicológica, sociológica y sociopolítica, debiendo reformular las acciones a emprender para reorientar la c...

“…Traditionally, Psychology has shown more interest in identifying problematic behaviors and human limitations than in studying our strong points ( Pemberton & Wainwright, 2014 ). However, a new model has emerged in recent years known as Positive Youth Development.…”

Background/Objective: The objective of this ex post facto study is to analyze both the direct relationships between perceived social support, self-concept, resilience, subjective well-being and school engagement. Method: To achieve this, a battery of instruments was applied to 1,250 Compulsory Secondary Education students from the Basque Country (49% boys and 51% girls), aged between 12 and 15 years (M = 13.72, SD =1.09), randomly selected. We used a structural equation model to analyze the effects of perceived social support, self-concept and resilience on subjective well-being and school engagement. Results: The results provide evidence for the influence of the support of family, peer support and teacher support on self-concept. In addition, self-concept is shown as a mediating variable associated with resilience, subjective well-being and school engagement. Conclusions: We discuss the results in the context of positive psychology and their practical implications in the school context.

“…The purpose of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) in a psychiatric outpatient setting. We are aware of the debate about the appropriateness of certain diagnostic labels ( Pemberton and Wainwright, 2014 , Robles et al, 2014 ), including proposals for eliminating such labels ( Timimi, 2014 ). In this study, however, we used the major psychiatric diagnosis labels mainly for communication purposes.…”

The eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) is a structured self-report measure of medication-taking behavior that has been widely used in various cultures. In Spain, no studies to date have analyzed the psychometric properties of the scale in psychiatric care. The purpose of the present instrumental study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the MMAS-8 in a sample of 967 consecutive psychiatric outpatients. The scale showed adequate construct validity and results pointed to a one-factor solution in which all the items contributed to the final index of adherence. The MMAS-8 exhibited significant correlation coefficients with the 10-item Drug Attitude Inventory, Form C of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale, and the Hong Psychological Reactance Scale. Moreover, the MMAS-8 was able to differentiate between various mental disorder diagnosis groups. The findings of this study suggest that the Spanish version of the MMAS-8 is a reliable and valid measure of medication adherence that can be used in a psychiatric outpatient setting.
