Psychometric properties of the existential concerns questionnaire among spanish older people
Existential concerns, including fears of death, isolation, identity, and meaning, become salient in late life and affect mental health. This study compared three competing models for the Existential Concerns Questionnaire (ECQ), a 22–item scale assessing existential distress: a unidimensional model, a three correlated factors model (General Existential Anxiety, Death Anxiety, and Avoidance), and a second–order model. Participants were 315 Spanish…
Psychometric properties of Wong’s Self-Transcendence Measure-Brief among Spanish older people
Self-transcendence can be defined as what goes beyond one’s limitations and difficulties in life in order to serve or connect with something greater. Self-transcendence is related to both mental and physical health in older people, so it is important to have instruments to measure it properly. This study analyzes the psychometric properties of Wong’s Self-Transcendence Measure-Brief (STM-B) in 333 Spanish older people (142 men and 191 women age-r…
Meaning in Life Mediates the Relationship Between Intrinsic Religious Orientation and Life Satisfaction
Religious orientations, such as intrinsic (IRO), extrinsic (ERO), and quest (QRO), may influence individuals’ sense of meaning in life and life satisfaction. This study examined these relationships among 392 Spanish Catholic undergraduates using the Religious Orientation Scale, Purpose in Life-10 Items, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Correlational analyses showed that IRO was positively related to both meaning in life and life satisfaction, wh…
Systematic Review on the Aftereffects of Near-Death Experiences
Near-death experiences (NDEs) are events reported by individuals close to death. This review examines the aftereffects of NDEs based on scientific literature from 2014 to 2024. Positive NDEs often lead to increased spirituality, reduced fear of death, a deeper appreciation of life, and greater compassion. In contrast, negative NDEs, though less common, can cause confusion, emotional distress, and lasting trauma. The subjective interpretation by t…
The Place of Religiosity and Spirituality in Frankl’s Logotherapy
The relationship between psychology and religion has been widely debated in the field of psychology from its foundation as an empirical science to the present day. One author who was interested in the relationship between psychology and religion, the place of the latter in human nature, and its role in psychotherapy was the Viennese neurologist, psychiatrist, and philosopher Viktor Emil Frankl (1905–1997), the founder of logotherapy. This paper p…

Magda Arnold’s understanding of the human person
Magda Arnold (1903-2002) is well known for her research on emotions, motivation, and memory from a neurological, physiological, and psychological point of view. However, her works in the field of the anthropological foundations of personality are less known and discussed. The present study presents some aspects of Arnold's conception of a human's nature as being based or convergent on Aquinas's doctrine: (a) a nonreductionist conception of the hu…
El sentido de la vida en los relatos de discontinuidad de la carrera delictiva
El estudio de la relación entre el sentido de la vida y la persistencia o desistimiento de la carrera delictiva, así como su aplicabilidad en el tratamiento de delincuentes, han recibido escasa atención en el ámbito de la criminología. El objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en explorar la presencia o ausencia del sentido de vida desde el paradigma de la criminología narrativa. Para ello, estudiamos los relatos de dos varones españoles con ext…
Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis of the life attitude profile in Chilean adolescents
Adolescents are challenged to take decisions about issues associated to the vital circle and the comprehension of the world. Meaning in life (MiL) takes a leading role in adolescence. Reker and Peacock developed the Life Attitude Profile (LAP) for assessing MiL, and Erci developed a revised version (LAP-R). The main objective of this study was to analyze the factorial structure, reliability, invariance across gender, and absence/presence of asses…
Striving for Personal Perfection
The Viennese psychiatrist Rudolf Allers was one of the principal authors that studied character and contributed to understanding its development and education, including the neurotic character. His psychological observations were based on his own clinical experience, his individual psychology, phenomenological and existential philosophies, and, above all, the doctrine of the Fathers of the Catholic Church and Thomas Aquinas. This paper presents A…
Multicultural Quality of Life Index in Relatives of People With Borderline Personality Disorder
Consistent with other studies, the MQLI demonstrated feasibility, strong internal consistency, and good convergent and discriminant validity, which means it is a psychometrically robust measure for the assessment of quality of life in relatives of people with BPD. Along with other validation studies, this measure will be a useful tool for assessing quality of life in relatives of people with mental disorders
Psychometric Properties of the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire-15 in Spanish Adolescents
The INQ-15 is a valid instrument for assessing TB and PB in Spanish adolescents. Future studies should analyze the invariance of this instrument in adolescents across sex and age
Spanish Validation of the Multidimensional Existential Meaning Scale
The MEMS is an adequate instrument to assess the three dimensions of meaning in Spanish-speaking participants. These results support the importance of evaluating the MiL construct from a multidimensional perspective in clinical samples
Técnicas de neutralización
La criminología narrativa estudia los efectos del discurso sobre la conducta delictiva. Sus orígenes se remontan a la teoría de la neutralización, la cual postula que los delincuentes utilizan diferentes estrategias narrativas -técnicas de neutralización- para justificar o minimizar sus comportamientos. Múltiples estudios señalan que las neutralizaciones desempeñan un papel importante en la etiología de la delincuencia, si bien se desconocen sus …
Rudolf Allers’ conception of neurosis as a metaphysical conflict
The Viennese psychiatrist and philosopher Rudolf Allers (1883–1963) made important contributions to psychiatry and psychotherapy, fundamentally in relation to their anthropological foundations from a Catholic point of view. However, Allers’ thought has received rather limited attention from historians of psychiatry. The present study focuses on his conception of neurosis as a metaphysical conflict from a Neoscholastic point of view: the relations…
The Seeking Of Noetic Goals Revisited Among Spanish Young People
This study examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Seeking O f Noetic Goals (SONG) scale and analyzed the correlations with the Purpose in Life (PIL) scale and the gender-related differences. A cross-sectional method design was used. Participants were 349 Spanish undergraduates (225 women, 64.5%, and 124 men, 35.5%), with ages ranging between 18 and 26 years, M = 20.85, SD = 2.16. Spanish versions of both the SONG and PIL…
Bienestar psicológico, edad y género en universitarios españoles
Se analizaron las diferencias en bienestar psicológico en función de la edad y el sexo, en una muestra de 180 estudiantes universitarios (138 mujeres, 76.7%; 42 hombres, 23.3%) con edades entre 18 y 55 años, M = 22.91, DT = 6.71. Se utilizó una adaptación española de las Escalas de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff y para los análisis de las diferencias se llevó a cabo la prueba de Mann-Whitney para la comparación entre grupos. Los participantes adul…
