Women in Conservative Religious Mobilization in Latin America: Chile and Mexico in Comparative Perspective
Studies of ‘anti-gender’ mobilisations focus on contested gender policies such as abortion, same-sex marriage and sex education. Who engages in these protests and why is less known. We argue that conservative women organise to defend religious beliefs and agendas against a perceived threat that targets not only religious institutions but also their own identities as wives and mothers by offering alternatives to conventional family structures. Thi…

Can personal values moderate players’ affective states
Based on self-determination theory and Schwartz’s refined theory of basic individual values, the aim of the study was to examine whether adolescents’ personal values might be moderating the relationship between coaches’ perceptions of interpersonal styles, and the affect they experience in relation to their basketball practice. A sample of 233 Spanish male basketball players between 13 and 14 years of age ( M = 13.97, SD = 0.18) who were particip…
Athlete’s Personal Values and the Likelihood of Alcohol Use and Heavy Drinking during Adolescence
Sport is considered an exceptional activity for promoting healthy lifestyles, but the relationship between sport and alcohol consumption is inconclusive. Research on personal values may shed light on this issue and thus make it possible to find effective ways to prevent alcohol misuse in adolescents. The main objectives of this study were to explore the relationships between personal values and alcohol consumption amongst adolescent athletes and …

Fear of Fat, Processes of Change, and Weight-Related Behaviors in Mexican and Spanish Adolescents
The results of this study indicate that adolescents may initiate weight control behaviors as a result of fear of fat. This process is mediated by experiential and behavioral processes that influence weight regulation
Time perspectives and procrastination in university students: Exploring the moderating role of basic psychological need satisfaction
These findings show that BPNS may play relevant roles in the negative (favourable) relationships between procrastination dimensions and positive time perspectives, as well as in the positive (adverse) associations between negative time perspectives and procrastination dimensions. Contextual interventions fostering enhanced levels of perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as well as future time perspective, are thus strong candidates to …
Democratization and inclusion: What women’s enfranchisement tells us about the second wave of democracy
Most Latin American countries enfranchised women during the second wave of democracy. But how did this expansion of participation relate to other dimensions of democracy? In this essay, I use Robert Dahl's two dimensions of democracy and evaluate what women's inclusion tells us about democratization during this period. Using 14 countries as base for this analysis, I make three central claims: First, I present data on moments of expansion of inclu…
Género, etnia, clase y la amplitud del sufragio en Chile y Perú: Visiones entre las sufragistas

Esta forma de inclusión siguió lógicas políticas sobre cómo los nuevos votantes podrían alterar los patrones de elección de cargos y el balance de poder…
Romantic myths and cyber dating violence victimization in Spanish adolescents: A moderated mediation model
Adolescents’ beliefs in romantic myths of love have been related to cyber dating violence victimization. However, these relationships could be mediated by adolescents’ tolerant attitudes toward dating abuse and be different for adolescent boys and girls. A better understanding of these relationships is important for developing more effective prevention programs. Thus, the current study aimed to examine the relationships between beliefs in romanti…
When do progressive evangelicals mobilize? Intra-denominational competing identities in Chile's constitutional process
Over the last decade, and throughout the Americas, evangelicals have strongly mobilized in defense of socially conservative agendas or against so-called “gender ideology,” sparking general and academic interest. Much less is known about progressive evangelicals. Using the unique juncture presented by the constitutional process in Chile, we study the politicization of a progressive evangelical identity and ask when these religious groups mobilize.…
Motivation Alignment, Historical Cleavages, and Women’s Suffrage in Latin America
Calculations of the electoral effects of incorporating new voters and beliefs on how inclusion alters gender hierarchies constitute two central motivations of decision makers when facing the prospect of suffrage reform. In contrast to the dominant electoral approach, by focusing on the case of early (before World War II) women’s suffrage in Latin America, I show that both these motivations are necessary and need to align for reform to occur. To e…

Do Active Commuters Feel More Competent and Vital? A Self-Organizing Maps Analysis in University Students
University students represent a population that faces high risks regarding physical inactivity. Research suggests that a regular engagement in physical activity (PA) may be more likely established when it leads to the experience of subjective vitality. Subjective vitality, in turn, is more likely achieved through physical activities that individuals feel competent in, and that take place in natural outdoor environments. An activity that may fulfi…

Examining the Mediating Role of Motivation in the Relationship between Multidimensional Perfectionism and Well- and Ill-Being in Vocational Dancers
Perfectionism is considered to be an important personality factor within the dance context given the high number of dancers whose psychological health is influenced by its consequences. The relationship between perfectionism and dancers' well- and ill-being can be mediated by a range of variables. The present study explores the role of forms of motivation (i.e., autonomous motivation, controlled motivation and amotivation) as mediators in the rel…
