The mediating role of attachment between borderline expression of emotional dependence and hostility in women with gambling disorder
It has been extensively documented that insecure attachment may be one of the core risk factors for the later development of Gambling Disorder (GD). Difficulties in the regulation of hostility and emotional dependence towards the partner have also been associated with GD. However, women with GD remain a population that has hardly been studied in previous scientific literature. Therefore, it is unknown how the aforementioned variables operate on t…
Behavioural addictions and compulsive behaviours based on sexual orientation
Hopelessness and compulsive buying in young people
Compulsive buying is the persistent, excessive, and uncontrollable purchase of products, despite the consequences it entails, and it seems very present in the young population. An increase in this problem has been observed, and, in addition, it seems to share common characteristics with other addictions, although it is not cataloged as such in current psychopathological manuals. Previous research has related alexithymia and hopelessness to other …
Early maladaptive schemas and perceived impact of Covid-19
Ample evidence indicates that early maladaptive schemas play an important role in the perceived impact of COVID-19 on individuals. Likewise, people with gambling disorder (GD), as well as women, show more maladaptive schemas than people without an addictive condition and men. However, no research to date has investigated the interrelationship between maladaptive schemas and the perceived impact of COVID-19, and even fewer studies have disaggregat…
Longitudinal Changes in Gambling, Buying and Materialism in Adolescents
Gambling disorder, gambling-related cognitive biases, compulsive buying, and materialistic values lead to impaired functioning in important areas of life. The aims of the present longitudinal study are (1) to evaluate the change produced after one year in those mentioned variables and (2) to examine the gender role in these changes and to analyze the mediational mechanisms among the variables of the study. The sample was composed of 182 adolescen…
Community health workers promote perceived social support among Latino men
Promotores or community health workers are trusted community members who offer information and support to marginalized groups in society. Latinx immigrants in new growth communities or emerging communities (areas with a small yet growing Latinx population) confront many challenges in their settling processes. De la Mano con la Salud was a community-based participatory project that trained Latino immigrant men as promotores. Promotores recruited 1…

Experiences of Discrimination in an Emerging Latina/o Community
In this article I explore how members of an emerging community of Latina/o immigrants in Pittsburgh, a small but rapidly growing population, understand and respond to discrimination. Both documented and undocumented Latina/o immigrants reported experiencing discrimination and facing challenges in addressing these experiences. However, personal context has an impact on specific grievance processes. I specifically explore three main topics: (1) the…
Using Clustering as a Tool
In this article I discuss cluster analysis as an exploratory tool to support the identification of associations within qualitative data. While not appropriate for all qualitative projects, cluster analysis can be particularly helpful in identifying patterns where numerous cases are studied. I use as illustration a research project on Latino grievances to offer a detailed explanation of the main steps in cluster analysis, providing specific consid…
Participatory Assessment of the Health of Latino Immigrant Men in a Community with a Growing Latino Population
Choosing a field
This paper examines the decisions and motivations of graduate students in cultural anthropology when defining the field sites and topics of their final projects. The decisions among students at the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia are contrasted with those at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States. A review of recent final projects in both universities was conducted, along with a survey and some follow-up questions with students in…
