El Conocimiento de las Emociones en las Mujeres Paraguayas Víctimas de Violencia
As part of the validation process of an emotion knowledge test based on the Theory of Conceptual Act, and composed of three subtests, the performance of a sample of Paraguayan women victims of violence (n = 43) and a comparison group (n = 102) were analyzed using the Rasch Model. The results showed no differences between the two groups in demographic variables and data model fit was adequate. The differences favoring the comparison group were sta…
Validating the Short Emotional Vocabulary Test for Adolescents (Sevta)
What We Talk About When We Talk About Psychometrics (in Spanish)
Understanding the meaning of the term can be approached from different perspectives, such as the consultation of dictionaries, the point of view of international experts, or the analysis of a linguistic corpus. For this study, an up-to-date Spanish corpus was used as the starting point. The sample consisted of 90 valid documents from which the first text was selected so that the frequencies of the themes came from independent texts. The method us…
Rasch analysis of the scores of the difficulties in emotion regulation scale (Ders) in a traffic context
The functional approach of emotion regulation has been mainly used in the clinical context. However, other fields such as traffic psychology have also adopted this perspective, showing interest in how difficulties in emotion regulation might interfere in driving. Various driving styles have been associated with maladaptive emotion regulation. Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is the most commonly used instrument to assess ER difficu…
Objective measurement of Spanish emotion vocabulary
Current research on emotion knowledge and competence emphasises the role of language. Emotion vocabulary is one of the indicators of emotion knowledge that can be objectively measured; however, the metric properties of the scores obtained in tests and tasks to measure it have seldom been adequate. In this study we designed and validated a Spanish emotion vocabulary test (MOVE) employing a corpus approach to construct cloze multiple‐choice items, …

The objective of this study is to carry out a metamethod analysis of qualitative research on emotion regulation strategies. The analysis was based on the reading of abstracts and full texts from 317 publications. W…

Pregnant Women's Acceptability of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Use Screening and Willingness to Disclose Use in Prenatal Care
Analysis of the empirical research on the feeling of presence
EN]The feeling of presence consists of the feeling that another person or entity is detected near the extrapersonal space without any clear sensory evidence. Its symptoms include visual hallucinations and wrong coding of sensorial input. The phenomenon is sometimes present in pathologies such as sleep paralysis or neurodegenerative diseases, but it can also be found in healthy subjects. It has been associated with folk beliefs, but there is now e…

Validity study of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Portuguese version) by the Rasch Rating Scale model
Our objective was to conduct a validation study of the Portuguese version of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) by means of the Rasch Rating Scale Model, and then compare it with the most used scales of anxiety in Portugal. The sample consisted of 1,160 adults (427 men and 733 women), aged 18-82 years old (M=33.39; SD=11.85). Instruments were Beck Anxiety Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. It was found that…
Patient expectations are not always the same
OBJECTIVE: To validate a scale that measures patients' expectations when seeking advice for health problems of different types. METHODS: 360 patients who had consulted their general practitioner (GP) during the previous 12 months were randomly selected from the lists of 30 GPs. A questionnaire, including a 13-item expectation scale, was administered by interview in the patient's home to assess expectations in relation to five health problems, thr…
A framework to analyse gender bias in epidemiological research
The design and analysis of research may cause systematic gender dependent errors to be produced in results because of gender insensitivity or androcentrism. Gender bias in research could be defined as a systematically erroneous gender dependent approach related to social construct, which incorrectly regards women and men as similar/different. Most gender bias can be found in the context of discovery (development of hypotheses), but it has also be…
Order in Spanish colour words
The hypothesis that the Berlin and Kay (1969) colour sequence would be replicated in Spanish colour-word usage has been corroborated on 131,028 colour words from a representative corpus (N = 188,975,000). The observed sequence of white, black, red, green, blue, yellow, grey and brown is highly consistent diachronically (through current and contemporary Spanish), synchronically (through various countries) and with the expected order. Considering t…
The effect of item feedback on multiple‐choice test responses
This study examines the effects of item feedback on multiple‐choice test responses. In the first experiment, a positive effect was predicted under instructions advising a penalty for errors; a larger beneficial effect on female scores was expected, given the (presumed) tendency of female participants toward omission when uncertain. Feedback effects were either negligible or negative, and the expected interaction effect with gender was not found. …
Influence of the Doctor??s Gender in the Satisfaction of the Users
This study was carried out in the framework of a wider research project concerning the degree of patient satisfaction with the various types of primary health care. We have studied the relationship among the gender of the doctor, the gender of the patient and the type of primary health care center involved. In 1 type of primary care center (health centers) the medical staff work as a team, whereas in the other (ambulatory care services), the doct…
Avaliação da escala de auto-estima de Rosenberg mediante o modelo de Rasch
O objectivo deste estudo consistiu em avaliar as características psicométricas da versão portuguesa da escala de Rosenberg mediante o modelo de Escalas de Classificação, uma extensão para itens politómicos do modelo de Rasch. Foi recolhida uma amostra de 510 estudantes universitários, 223 do sexo masculino e 287 do sexo feminino, com uma média etária de 21.7 anos (DP = 3.80). As análises indicam que o ajuste dos dados ao modelo é aceitável. Concl…
