The Digital Life Balance Scale
In the digital era, balancing digital and nondigital activities is crucial for psychological well‐being, underscoring the need for research to enhance health interventions. This study validates the Spanish version of the Digital Life Balance Scale (DLB‐Scale) and explores its associations with smartphone addiction scale (SAS), satisfaction with life (SWL), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in a sample of 334 Spanish university students (M = …
Adapting a Strategy-Based Measure of Behavioral Emotion Regulation
Within the strategy-based approach, research has extensively explored cognitive emotion regulation strategies and their association with psychopathology. The present study aims to focus on behavioral strategies by adapting the Behavioral Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (BERQ). Additionally, to explore the interplay between multiple types of strategies and their interaction with psychopathology, we assessed the links between both adaptive and mal…
Risk Taking and Accidents in Adventure Sports Across Males and Females
The popularity and practice of adventure physical activities in nature (APAN) have risen substantially in the past 20 years. At the same time, the number of events leading to serious injury has increased substantially. Several factors account for the occurrence of such events, albeit individual differences in personality traits together with sex differences appear as important intervening factors. Social or evolutionary approaches might be helpfu…
Reliability of the Spanish version of the pain beliefs and perceptions inventory among women with fibromyalgia in Catalonia, Spain
Fibromyalgia presents a significant challenge to individsuals due to its pervasive pain symptoms. The Pain Beliefs and Perceptions Inventory (PBPI) offers a structured tool to delve into the nuanced beliefs surrounding pain. We aim to explore the feasibility of a condensed version of PBPI in assessing pain perceptions among individuals living with fibromyalgia in Catalonia, Spain. During February 2020 and March 2021, 419 individuals above 18 year…
Empathy, personality, and aggression in male and female adolescents
The relationship between empathy and aggression is inconclusive, with substantial evidence revealing moderator effects of factors such as age, sex, and personality. This study examines whether sex differences or sex similarities stem from the relationship between empathy, personality, and aggression. There were 197 adolescents enrolled in secondary education (89 males and 108 females), who completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), the E…
The Vaccination Fear Scale (VFS-6)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a meaningful impact on several areas of human activity. With respect to psychological assessment, the requirements to study the fear of vaccination as a means to diminish negative behaviour towards vaccination had been reported. This study aimed to evaluate the factorial invariance of the six-item Vaccination Fear Scale (VFS-6) across individuals and cultures. To achieve this goal, a sample of …
Work–family conflict, wellbeing and strain
The work and family interface elicits work–family conflict (WFC) leading to positive and negative outcomes. Sex is a central element in WFC, with a wealth of studies reporting either sex differences or similarities. The presence of children at home, however, is a rather understudied moderator. This study aimed to contrast whether two main components of WFC, work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW) associated dif…
Classification of pain intensity with the pain beliefs and perceptions inventory (PBPI) and the pain catastrophizing scales (PCS)
Whereas, the PBPI and PCS are certainly useful instruments to evaluate diverse pain experiences, they may be inappropriate to classify intensity. The PCS performs marginally better than the PBPI for classifying pain intensity
The Role of Mindfulness in Business Administration (B.A.) University Students’ Career Prospects and Concerns about the Future
In a challenging work environment, entrepreneurship orientation (hereafter, EO) can be an important asset for university students. In this study, we investigated the EO and concerns about the future of B.A. students, focusing on the role of mindfulness levels. A total of 204 students, including those coming from family businesses (hereafter, FB), were asked about their intention of creating their own business and future concerns with an ad hoc qu…
The Validity and Reliability of the Hungarian Version of the Brief Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire - An Effective Method to Measure Work-To-Family and Family-To-Work Conflict
The current study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Hungarian version of the brief Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire (Conflicto Trabajo - Familia, CCTF) using both homogeneous (social care workers, N = 206) and heterogeneous (N = 586) occupational samples. In order to examine construct validity, we explored both two-factor and bifactor models. Our findings provided greater support for the two-factor model (homogeneous samp…
Initial teacher education in a dual-system
Social support as a mediator between job control and psychological strain
Social support (family and supervisor), work–family conflict, and burnout
We examined how work-family conflict (WFC) mediated the relationship between social support (supervisor and family) and burnout, and how sex moderated this relationship ( N = 343 Spanish workers). The results sustained hypotheses in accordance with a biosocial model of sex differences. There were full mediation effects of work interference with family (WIF) in the association of work support with burnout for men, and of family support with burnou…
