The Relations Among Prosocial Behavior, Life Satisfaction, and Hedonic Balance Among Young Adults
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the intra-individual associations between prosocial behavior and two dimensions of subjective well-being-life satisfaction and hedonic balance-in the daily lives of young adults. METHOD: Two samples of Italian and Spanish participants aged 18-35 completed self-report measures at different intervals: a daily sample assessed for ten consecutive days (N = 388; 76% women) and a weekly sample assessed for five consecutiv…
Development and Validation of the Children's and Adolescents' Wellbeing at School Scale
This research aimed to develop and validate a measure to assess school well‐being in children and adolescents, addressing limitations of previous tools and drawing on the PERMA model. Two studies were conducted: Study 1 included 487 children (ages 9–12) and 258 adolescents (ages 13–15) from UK schools, whereas Study 2 involved 219 UK children (ages 7–11) and 209 Spanish children (ages 9–12). Factor analyses revealed a two‐factor structure: positi…
The Relation between Self-Esteem and Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy in Daily Life
In the present study, we aimed to explore the dynamic relationships among self-esteem, self-efficacy in managing negative emotions (SRN), and expressing positive emotions (SEP) in a short-term, daily framework. We used data collected over 10 days from 101 Italian and 237 Spanish young adults. Results from a Random-Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model indicated that the relationships were mostly at the trait-level, since the positive correlations am…
Evaluación de la Competencia Emocional docente del alumnado de magisterio en prácticas
Las investigaciones señalan que es imprescindible formar al profesorado novel en competencia emocional (CE) para dar respuesta a las exigencias y retos que plantea la escuela. Las prácticas curriculares del programa de formación inicial de magisterio demuestran ser un contexto idóneo para el desarrollo de esta competencia. Estas prácticas constituyen un momento de aprendizaje e ilusión para el alumnado, pero también supone enfrentar situaciones d…
Perspectives on Africa and African immigrants
As educational institutions, Spanish universities today involve a diversity of subjects inhabiting them, which supports the imperative of turning schools into more inclusive communities. This study attempts a preliminary determination of the existence of racial and cultural prejudices and stereotyped beliefs about African immigrants in a sample of education students at the Autonomous University of Madrid. A quantitative, non-experimental, descrip…
The Effect of Enclothed Cognition on Empathic Responses and Helping Behavior
Based on the enclothed cognition framework, we tested whether the physical experience of wearing a tunic and identifying it with a nursing scrub may enhance empathic and helping responding, compared to the solely physical experience of wearing the scrub or associating with its symbolic meaning. Results of Study 1 (United Kingdom; n = 150) showed that participants who wore a tunic and identified it with a nursing scrub reported higher empathic con…
Testing the qualitative differences between empathy and personal distress
In two studies the emotional valence, the level of arousal and self-orientation of empathic concern and personal distress are tested. The empathic concern prevalence versus personal distress prevalence is induced through pictures in Study 1 (N = 62) and perspective-taking instructions in Study 2 (N = 60). Results of Study 1 show that participants in the personal distress-prevalence condition report significantly more negative emotional valence (d…
