Dispositional Optimism, Pessimism, and Psychological Distress Among Venezuelan Migrants in Chile
Introduction: Migrants often experience mental health challenges associated with acculturative stress. Dispositional traits, such as optimism and pessimism, may shape how individuals appraise and cope with these challenges, influencing their psychological distress. Objective: This study aimed to analyse the role of three dimensions of acculturative stress: integration difficulties, nostalgia, and structural barriers, in the relationship between o…
Factors influencing the academic use of digital technologies among Chilean pre-service teachers
This research examines the impact of psychological and cultural factors on the academic use of digital technologies by Chilean pre-service teachers. Considering the global digital transformation and the influence of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), in education, it is essential to prepare future educators to integrate technology pedagogically. Although the use of technology among pre-service teachers has been studied, t…
Determinantes y mecanismos mediadores del uso académico de tecnologías digitales del profesorado en formación STEM en Chile
Esta investigación analizó determinantes y mecanismos mediadores del uso académico de tecnologías digitales en profesorado chileno en formación de áreas STEM (Ciencias y Matemática), evaluando la invarianza estructural del modelo y brechas por sexo. El estudio empleó un diseño transversal con 190 personas (95 hombres, 95 mujeres). Se aplicaron modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) con bootstrapping (5,000 re-muestreos). El modelo evaluó la au…
Discrimination, Satisfaction, and use of Public Healthcare Services by South American Migrants in Southern Chile
Creencias sobre el sistema de salud público y privado en Chile
Evaluar las creencias de usuarios respecto del sistema de salud pú- blico versus privado en Chile, considerando etnia, nivel socioeconómico y afi- liación sanitaria. Usando un diseño no experimental y transversal, una muestra no probabilística de 337 usuarios respondió un cuestionario sobre creencias asociadas a ambos sistemas. Se evaluaron diferencias de medias según etnia, nivel socioeconómico y afiliación. Se encontró que la muestra en general…
Revisiting the concept of double presence
Double presence originated as a concept to describe female employment and its social legitimization, along with the dependence ofwomen on domestic and family work. Since then, gender studies have used this term and others such as second shift, double shift and double burden to address the demands of paid work and household chores. However, the complexity of managing both spheres at the same time, initially described by double presence, seems to h…
Should we take care of each other? Enhancing Covid-19 protective behaviors, a study in Chile, Mexico, and Colombia
The literature has suggested that social norms and perceptions of risk and severity are critical variables in predicting protective health behaviors. Using an integrative conceptual framework, this study evaluates educational level, socioeconomic status, injunctive pro-care norms, perception of risk, and severity of COVID-19 as predictors of hygiene behaviors, mask use, and physical distancing. Participants included 2,075 adults from Chile, Mexic…
Analysis of the Mental and Physical Health Symptomatology Scale in a Sample of Emerging and Migrant Adults in Chile
Health inequities exist in groups of greater psychosocial vulnerability such as emerging adults and migrants. The study aimed to generate evidence of the validity of the mental and physical health symptomatology scale in two samples of vulnerable groups: emerging university adults, who report high levels of mental health problems, and migrants, who report high levels of physical and mental health problems. Using non-probability sampling, in the f…
Changes in the clustering of health-related behaviors during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on daily life, affecting both physical and mental health. Changes arising from the pandemic may longitudinally impact health-related behaviors (HRB). As different HRBs co-occur, in this study, we explore how six HRBs - alcohol (past-week and binge-drinking), tobacco, marijuana, benzodiazepine use, and unhealthy food consumption - were grouped and changed over time during the COVID-19 pandemic. A …
Acculturative Stress, Perceived Social Support, and Mental Health
The role of perceived social support in the acculturation process of immigrants remains unclear. In this study, we jointly evaluated the associations between acculturative stress and negative emotions associated with discrimination as antecedents of anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms in 283 immigrants living in Chile. Three competing models were tested via structural equation modelling to assess (1) the association among these variables and…
To get vaccinated or not? Social psychological factors associated with vaccination intent for Covid-19
Pandemic control not only requires effective COVID-19 vaccines but also that they are accepted by at least 80% of the population. For this reason, understanding the social psychological variables associated with vaccination intent is essential to achieve herd immunity. Drawing on the theory of reasoned action, this study seeks to analyze vaccination intent using the beliefs about vaccine effectiveness, conspiracy theories, and injunctive norms as…
Covid-19 Perceived Impact and Psychological Variables as Predictors of Unhealthy Food and Alcohol Consumption Trajectories
The present study examines the trajectories of unhealthy food and alcohol consumption over time and considers whether perceived impact of COVID-19 and psychological variables are predictors of these trajectories. We ascertained whether these predictors are different in women vs. men and between women living with vs. without children. Data were collected through online surveys administered to 1038 participants from two universities (staff and stud…
Satisfaction among Indigenous People from Chile
Although the Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS) has been used to establish comparisons among nations/cultures, the measurement invariance of this scale has not always been demonstrated. The forced acculturative experience of indigenous minorities and its differentiation of gender roles could impact how people respond to this scale. The purpose of this study was to examine the measurement invariance of the SWLS when it is applied to a Chilean indigeno…
