Análisis de experiencias de educación artística y su aporte al fortalecimiento de la convivencia y habilidades socioemocionales, durante y post pandemia Covid-19, en escuelas de O'Higgins, Chile

Tras volver a la presencialidad muchos establecimientos experimentaron conflictos y…

The Best of Both Worlds
The relations among language acculturation, biculturality, and psychological adjustment were studied in a sample of 54 young mainland Puerto Rican mothers. Participants were interviewed in the language of their choice concerning their level of symptomatology (i.e., depression, anxiety, somatization, hostility, interpersonal sensitivity), language acculturation, monocultural involvement (assessed by separate adherence to American and Puerto Rican …
Parenting Behaviors Among Mainland Puerto Rican Adolescent Mothers
Relations between grandmother and partner involvement (coresidence, social support, child care) and Puerto Rican adolescent mothers' parenting behaviors were examined. Few associations between grandmother involvement and behavior emerged, and these were moderated by coresidence. In contrast, partner involvement showed a number of significant (positive) direct and moderated relations with behavior. For both providers, the direction of the relation…
A New Familism Scale for Use with Latino Populations
The goal of this study was to develop an attitudinal familism scale that can be used with relatively less acculturated Latinos and that assesses all relevant aspects of the construct. An 18-item scale composed of original items and adapted items from previous scales was tested on a sample of 124 Latino adults. An exploratory factor analysis revealed the following four factors, accounting for 51.23% of the total variance: Familial Support, Familia…
Attachment-based assessments of parent-child relationships in middle childhood
Attachment-based assessments of parent–child relationships in middle childhood
Although a number of measures have been developed to assess parent-child attachments, validity data on middle-childhood measures are lacking. The present study tested attachment-based measures of parent-child relationships designed for the later middle-childhood years (9-12 years of age). Self-reports from children assessed perceptions of security and avoidant and preoccupied coping. Some children also completed a projective interview assessing a…
Parent-Child Interaction Among Latina Adolescent Mothers
This study examined family and social support correlates of parent-child interaction among Latina adolescent mothers. Mothers (N = 49) were videotaped in their homes interacting with their children (M age = 13 months) and interviewed regarding their social support. Consistent with existing models of the influence of social support on parenting, mothers who reported greater overall social support were more expressive across three observation tasks…
Developmental Follow-Up of 6–7 Year Old Children of Mothers Employed During Their Infancies
Natural mentor relationships among latina adolescent mothers
Investigated the antecedents, effects, and underlying characteristics of natural mentor relationships in a sample of 54 inner‐city, Latina adolescent mothers. Women with mentors reported significantly lower levels of depression and anxiety than those without mentors despite similar levels of stress exposure and overall support resources. Young women with natural mentors were also more satisfied with their support resources and appeared better abl…
