Our lifestyles are back to ‘normal’, but is our mental health? Longitudinal assessment of psychological distress during the Covid-19 pandemic among Spanish adults
The COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental effect on mental health since its start in 2020 and current data on mental health is limited. This study provides recent longitudinal data on psychological distress among a country-wide sample of adults. We recruited and surveyed 1,956 adults in Spain in April 2021 and August 2022 on sociodemographic- and pandemic-related psychological distress using the General Distress 21-item version of the Depression, A…
Evaluación de la orientación emprendedora y su relación con el género y el rendimiento académico

Dado que la Escala de Orientación Emprendedora (EOE) es uno de los pocos instrumentos que permiten evaluar la orientación emprendedora en estudiante…

Is Social Media a New Type of Social Support? Social Media Use in Spain during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study examines Spanish adults' social media use during the COVID-19 pandemic using mixed-methods to assess and understand frequency, context, and changes in social media use during two critical time points in Spain. We conducted semi-structured interviews in April 2020, and two waves of surveys (April 2020, April 2021) among Spanish adults. We coded and analyzed qualitative data related to social media use during the first lockdown period in…
Assessment of Attachment Representations in Basque Adolescents and their Relationship with Internalizing and Externalizing Problems
Research has shown a relationship between attachment style and psychosocial adjustment in adolescents. Whereas secure attachment is related to fewer internalizing and externalizing symptoms, the opposite is the case for the various insecure attachment styles. The aim of the two studies reported in this paper was to adapt and validate the CaMir-R (a self-report measure of attachment that has shown adequate psychometric properties) for use among Ba…
The Psychological Consequences of Covid-19 and Lockdown in the Spanish Population
The objectives of this study were to analyze the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown in the Spanish population and to identify what population profiles were most affected. The study used a sequential exploratory design. In the qualitative phase, 40 participants were recruited based on theoretically relevant criteria and the saturation of the information provided by the interviews. In the quantitative phase, a large repr…
Parenting Styles and Internalizing Symptoms in Adolescence
A growing body of recent research has identified associations between various parenting practices and styles and internalizing problems among adolescents. However, the reported findings are inconsistent and the studies in question have been conducted from different theoretical backgrounds. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the literature on the association of parental socialization styles with depression, anxiety, and suicidal i…
Stressful Life Events and Depressive Symptomatology Among Basque Adolescents
The occurrence of stressful life events is a risk factor for psychopathology in adolescence. Depression is a problem of notable clinical importance that has a negative psychosocial impact on adolescents and which has considerable social, educational, and economic costs. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between stressful life events and depressive symptomatology in adolescence, taking into account the effect that attachment re…
Elaboración de Versiones Reducidas de Instrumentos de Medida
The aim of the present study is to show, from a practical perspective, the guidelines that may be followed to create a reduced version of a measurement tool. Therefore, it describes in detail the process of creating the reduced Basque version of the CDS scale (Children’s Depression Scale; Lang & Tisher, 1978), which measures depression in children and adolescents. In a first study, the items that make up the reduced version of the CDS (CDS-R) are…
The Influence of the Social Use and the History of Acquisition of Euskera on Comprehension and Recall of Scientific Texts in Euskera and Castilian
This study examined the influence of the social use and the history of acquisition of Euskera (the Basque language) on comprehension and recall of two versions (Euskera -Castilian) of a scientific text read by bilingual high school and college students. Comprehension was measured by performance on an inferential task and recall by efficiency on a test that assessed recognition of essential and supplementary information in the text. Results sugges…
The Age and Context of Acquisition of Euskera and Castilian
In the Basque region of Spain, there are no monolingual speakers of Euskera, the native Basque language. Furthermore, during the Franco years, it was a policy of the Spanish government to actively discourage use of Euskera (and other languages such as Gallego and Catalan). To counteract the effects of these influences, the government of the Basque region (hereafter referred to by its official name, the Basque Autonomous Community) has fostered a …
