Assessing Emotional Distress in Adolescents
Which Psychosocial Strengths Could Combat the Adolescent Suicide Spectrum? Dissecting the Covitality Model
Objective: Covitality is a meta-construct of positive intra/interpersonal self-schemas that organize and process life experiences. Its synergy favors psychosocial adjustment and prevents mental health problems during adolescence. At these ages, suicide is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The purpose of this study was to determine which psychosocial strengths of the covitality model could combat adolescent suicide spectrum. Method: Pa…
Identifying Adolescents at Risk for Emotional Disorders with Latent Profile Analysis
It can be challenging to assign patients to the appropriate intervention programs, as risk and protective factors for developing emotional disorders are multiple and shared across disorders. This study aimed to provide a theoretical and empirical approach to identify and categorise adolescents into different levels of severity. The risk of developing emotional symptoms was assessed in 1425 Spanish adolescents (M = 14.34, SD = 1.76; 59.9% women). …
Socio-emotional strengths against psychopathology and suicidal ideation in fear of Covid-19
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused a global health crisis. It also leads to different types of psychosocial problems in society as a result of preventive health measures and the disease itself. Among others, psychopathological symptoms and suicide behaviors have increased. The PsicorecurSOS COVID-19 online protocol was designed. At baseline, 1020 Spanish adults were assessed, during confinement, for sociodemographics, fear of COVID-19, anx…
Body-dysmorphic, hoarding, hair-pulling, and skin-picking symptoms in a large sample of adolescents
Few studies have investigated body-dysmorphic, hoarding, hair-pulling, and skin-picking symptoms in adolescents and how they relate to mental health, quality of life, suicide attempts, and non-suicidal self-harm. We used a quota sampling procedure and contacted 100 secondary centres in the Southeast of Spain, of which 34 participated in the study. A sample of 5,345 adolescents (12–18 years) completed dimensional measures of body-dysmorphic, hoard…
Relationship between Cognitive Strategies of Emotion Regulation and Dimensions of Obsessive–Compulsive Symptomatology in Adolescents
Cognitive emotion regulation refers to the management of one's emotions through cognitive strategies. Studies have found that individuals with obsessive-compulsive symptoms utilize emotion regulation strategies differently compared to those without these symptoms. This study aims to investigate the relationship between cognitive strategies for emotion regulation and specific dimensions of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in adolescents. A cross-sect…
Do healthy habits regulate the relationship between psychosocial dysfunction by Covid-19 and bidimensional mental health
COVID-19 has affected mental health and well-being. Lifestyles are relevant to understand the impact of psychosocial dysfunctions. The objective was to examine the role of healthy habits in the relations between psychosocial dysfunction and psychological well-being/distress during COVID-19. Participants completed measures of psychosocial dysfunction, healthy habits, life satisfaction, well-being, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Psychosocial dys…
Validation of the Spanish Version of Fear of Covid-19 Scale
The COVID-19 is a "unique" stressor, which can produce physical and psychological trauma. Coping styles can buffer this psychological impact. Consequently, this paper aims to psychometrically adapt the Fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19S) to Spanish and examines the relationships between FCV-19S, stress response, and coping strategies. The sample comprised a convenience sample of 1146 participants (12-83 years), 880 from Spain (76.8%), and 266 from D…
Social Emotional Health Survey-Secondary (Sehs-S)
The Social Emotional Health Survey-Secondary (SEHS-S), which is a measure of core psychological assets based on a higher-order model of Covitality, is comprised of 36 items and four latent traits (with three measured subscales): belief in self (self-efficacy, self-awareness, and persistence), belief in others (school support, family coherence, and peer support), emotional competence (emotional regulation, behavioral self-control, and empathy), an…

Marsilio Ficino and Vatic Myth
This essay analyzes the relationship of charismatic authority to different kinds of remythicization in the work of Marsilio Ficino, using the theories of Max Weber and Hans Blumenberg as background. Ficino had unorthodox views on poetry and rejected the human component of composition, reducing even the vatic poet to a mere instrument of divine will. Paradoxically, however, Ficino manipulated the myths of the prisci poetae and the furor poeticus, …
The Erotic Sacrament
The aim of this essay is to compare the theories of Max Weber and Georges Bataille on the construction of the erotic sphere in the cultural imagination. Weber and Bataille share several basic premises, especially in their recognition of the connection between religious ecstasy and erotic union. They differ, however, in a crucial factor. Although Bataille acknowledges symbol-making as a basis of erotic expression, he resists the systematic rationa…
Charismas in Conflict
Charisma and Tragedy
Drawing on the work of Max Weber, Edward Shils, Charles Camic and Thomas Spence Smith, among others, this article analyzes the effect of the breakdown of charismatic groups on tragic protagonists. Because criticism has usually focused on the isolation of tragic figures, little attention has been paid to group formation and group dissolution as significant components of tragedy. Yet group function makes a manifest contribution to tragic denouement…
