Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation model of relationship satisfaction
This study tested the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation (VSA) model of change in relationship satisfaction in a highly stressful context (i.e., the pandemic lockdown). We examined whether conflict resolution strategies (i.e., own situational withdrawal, perceived partner demands and perceived partner use of positive problem-solving strategies), confinement-specific variables (i.e., space for oneself, changes in sleep, social life routines and sport…
Follow-up study of benefit finding in multiple sclerosis and health-related quality of life. The effect of anxiety and emotion-focused coping strategies
OBJECTIVE: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that causes major disability and has a negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, benefit finding even when suffering uncontrollable and unpredictable diseases such as MS has been associated with adjustment perhaps because of its relationship with more frequent use of emotion-focused coping strategies (CS). Therefore, using a two-time-point follow-up design, thi…
Positive Humor/Affection and Age Advantages in Affective Responses During the Covid-19 Pandemic. A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study

Sexual Dating Violence and Suicide Risk
Sexual dating violence (SDV) is a global issue affecting young women, increasing health risks, including suicide. This study analyzes the relationship between SDV and suicide risk (SR) in 1,239 women aged 18-28 from Chile, Colombia, and Spain, using a cross-sectional, cross-cultural design. Prevalence ranged from 34.9% (Spain) to 50.3% (Chile). Victimization was linked to negative affect, social isolation, emotional suppression, and SR. A direct …
Follow-up study of children and adolescents during the stay-at-home directive decreed during the Covid-19 pandemic
The present study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first study to follow up on the mental health of children and adolescents in Spain during COVID-19, a country in which a strict stay-at-home directive was issued as a result of the pandemic. We also explore the influence of fear of contagion and the attribution for lockdown on young people’s mental health. A sample of 278 children (8 to 12 years) and adolescents (13 to 18 years) were assesse…
The mediating role of response-focused emotion regulation strategies in intimate partner violence across the stages of change
Intimate partner violence against women is a pervasive and significant problem around the world that causes victims to suffer grave mental and physical health issues. The Stages of Change or SOC model has been used in recent study to examine the stage of change in female victims as a potential predictor of their readiness to end their relationship. This study's objective was to analyse emotion-focused coping strategies used by female victims to d…
The Boomerang Effect of Suppression of Emotional Expression
Scarce research has been performed on the role of power, affectivity, and suppression of emotional expression in the use of dating violence by adolescents and young men. This study aims to analyze a model of the associations between perceived power (control and dominance), affectivity (positive and negative affect), suppression of emotional expression and the frequency of use of male-to female dating violence. Participants in this cross-sectional…
Psychological withdrawal and mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic
Objective The first objective was to track temporal changes in participants’ mental health during the 2020 lockdown in Spain. Second, we tested whether age moderated the association between the use of psychological withdrawal and mental health over time. Design: Participants (N = 396, 74% women) completed three waves of a web-based survey during the lockdown. Age mean was 40.11 (sd = 12.66).Main outcome Measures Participants answered a set of soc…
Social Support Seeking Among Women Victims of Intimate Partner Violence
Problem-Focused Coping Strategies Used by Victims of Gender Violence Across the Stages of Change
This study compares the problem-focused emotion regulation strategies used by 200 female survivors of intimate partner violence (age: M = 40.16, SD = 11.27, 18 - 66 years) to cope with violence throughout various stages of change (SOC). It examines the relationship between problem-focused coping strategies and positive and negative affect, and the impact of these variables on the different SOC. Results suggest that victims differ and are flexible…
Age differences in emotion regulation during ongoing affective life
A well-documented finding in aging and emotion research is that older adults reliably report less negative and, often, more positive affect than younger adults. How older people accomplish this is, however, an open question. We propose that this age effect is the result of differential use of emotion regulation strategies, especially when affective states call for them. We assessed a wide range of emotion regulation strategies over 2 months of da…
The Role of Emotional Intelligence and Sociocultural Adjustment on Migrants’ Self-reported Mental Well-Being in Spain

Off- and Online Heterosexual Dating Violence, Perceived Attachment to Parents and Peers and Suicide Risk in Young Women
Dating violence (DV) is a public health problem among young people, especially women. It involves violent acts towards one's partner and occurs face-to-face (offline) or through the Internet (online). Offline DV is linked to suicidal ideation and attachment to parents and peers. Fewer studies analyze the psychological and social consequences of online DV. This study tests the link between young women's DV victimization (off- and online), suicide …
