Exploring Associations Between Child Abuse and Neglect and School Readiness
Exploring the socioeconomic pattern of humans’ future orientation
Future orientation (FO) is a key human capacity that integrates cognitive, affective, and motivational components, crucial for achieving positive outcomes. Although theory posits a consistent link between FO and socioeconomic status (SES), empirical evidence remains scarce and fragmented. This research addressed this gap with two main goals. The first was to strengthen the evidence for the SES-FO relationship at the between-subject level. This wa…
Psychological approaches to sustainability
One of the pending challenges facing Education for Sustainable Development is to change students' behavior in favor of sustainability so that these are lasting and even transferable to other people. This study analyzes how various psychological factors, including motivation, attitudes, beliefs and emotions, can be channeled to enhance social and ecological awareness through education. This paper presents an innovative approach to Sustainable Deve…

School readiness losses during the Covid-19 outbreak. A comparison of two cohorts of young children
The COVID-19 context has created the most severe disruption to education systems in recent history. Its impact on child development was estimated comparing two cohorts of 4- to 6-year-old Uruguayan children: control (n = 34,355, 48.87% girls) and COVID cohort (n = 30,158, 48.95% girls) assessed between 2018 and 2020 in three waves, by a routinely administered school readiness instrument in public preschools. Ethnicity information is not available…
A behavioral intervention to increase preschool attendance in Uruguay
Disrupting times in the wake of the pandemic
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has majorly disrupted many aspects of people's lives, provoking psychosocial distress among students. People's positive and negative attitudes towards the past, present and future were a dispositional pre-COVID-19 reality. Faced with a pandemic, people have reported disruptions in the speed of passing time. People can shift their attention more towards the past, present or future when major changes in society oc…
Consideración de las consecuencias futuras
La escala de Consideración de las Consecuencias Futuras (CCF) evalúa el grado que las personas son influenciadas por las consecuencias inmediatas o distantes de sus comportamientos. En una muestra representativa de Montevideo, este estudio procuró explorar sus propiedades psicométricas, establecer sus baremos poblacionales, explorar su distribución territorial y evaluar las asociaciones de la CCF con el consumo de sustancias psico-activas. En est…
Behavioural Problems in a Nationally Representative Sample of Uruguay. Characterisation of Latent Profiles by Socioeconomic Status, Maternal Depression and Family Violence
Subjective status and perceived legitimacy across countries
The relationships between subjective status and perceived legitimacy are important for understanding the extent to which people with low status are complicit in their oppression. We use novel data from 66 samples and 30 countries ( N = 12,788) and find that people with higher status see the social system as more legitimate than those with lower status, but there is variation across people and countries. The association between subjective status a…
The development of episodic foresight in preschoolers
Episodic foresight (EF) refers to the ability to anticipate future states of the self. Despite almost two decades of research, no studies explored how family context variables relate to the development of this ability. The objectives of this study were to explore the association of socioeconomic status (SES), parental consideration of future consequences (CFC), and family environment quality on the development of episodic foresight and to compare…
