A brief scale for measuring the individual endorsement of culture of honour / Una escala breve para medir el respaldo individual a la cultura de honor
Variation in value endorsement within geographical regions supports an individual approach to studying the culture of honour, offering a more nuanced understanding of how honour can affect emotions and behaviours in interpersonal relations. This can be understood using brief measurement scales that reduce costs and participant fatigue and improve response validity. Thus, this study aims to propose a brief version of the Culture of Honor Scale. In…
Considering leadership virtues questionnaire (LVQ) in context
In the absence of a Spanish version of the Leadership Virtues Questionnaire, this study aims to propose a short form of the scale by conducting a cultural adaptation and analyzing its factor structure. In Study 1, the procedure following ITC guidelines and qualitative analysis is performed, leading to the reformulation of several items. In Study 2, 550 workers (Samples 1 and 2) responded to this Spanish version, and the fit of the measurement mod…
The Role of Frustration and Guilt in Partner Cyber-Aggression Among Young People When a Culture of Honour is Endorsed
Individuals who endorse honor are more prone to react aggressively, both with their partners and in cyber-psychological contexts. However, anticipated feelings previous to the response may influence their reaction. Thus, the role that emotions may have in the way partners in a couple react is an indicator of how they will react in the future. To address this study questions, the present research focuses on the role of two emotions scarcely studie…
Self-Undermining, Work-Family Conflict and Fatigue
Research about factors affecting workers' physical and mental fatigue has mainly focused on job characteristics. However, as the extended demands-resources model acknowledges, the family, work, and organizational domains are interconnected. In this study, we analyze whether self-undermining behaviors can induce work-family conflict, leading to fatigue. Moreover, we examine the moderating role of a physically active, healthy climate within the fam…
Online Violence in Adolescent and Young Adult Couples
This study explores how anxious attachment moderates the relationship between hostile sexism and online violence in adolescent and young adults' partners. Two hundred thirty heterosexual couples (total n = 460) participated in a dyadic design study. Both partners answered a questionnaire about online violence, hostile sexism, and anxious attachment. Results show that both members' hostile sexism positively correlates with the perpetration and vic…
Physical and psychological health relations to engagement and vigor at work
Authentic leadership and personal and job demands/resources
The job demands-resources theory considers an open group of personal and job demands and resources. Thus, it allows us to include personal resources not yet covered (i.e., vigor at work) or less explored (i.e., emotional abilities), as well as personal demands not yet explored (i.e., overcommitment). Additionally, from this theory, it is proposed that leaders may influence employee wellbeing. Therefore, of particular interest is to analyze positi…
Couple-Specific Dependency Scale in Spanish adolescents and invariance by gender and relationship status ( Escala de dependencia específica de la pareja en adolescentes españoles e invarianza por géne…
Measures about dependency in romantic relations mostly focus on adults, even though the first couple relations begin during adolescence. This study aims to adapt and validate a widely used instrument in different ages, the Spouse Specific Dependence Scale, in a sample of adolescents. A total of 481 participants, 15–17 years old (Study 1 = 234, M age = 16.04 years, SD = 0.68, and Study 2 = 247, M age = 15.88, SD = 0.72), completed the scale to det…
Are gender stereotypes changing over time? A cross-temporal analysis of perceptions about gender stereotypes in Spain ( ¿Están cambiando los estereotipos de género con el tiempo? Un análisis transtemp…
The evolution of societal gender roles over time changes perceptions about the characteristics of men and women and how they behave. Previous studies on the dynamics of gender stereotypes have investigated people’s perceptions about men and women at specific time points (i.e., thinking in the past, present and future). However, studies comparing results of present perceptions of men and women measured at a lapse of time could clarify whether ther…
The Shirom-Melamed Vigor Measure for Students
Students suffer from a decrease in physical activity during their education period. This lower level of activity could affect, through various paths, their academic performance, mental health, and satisfaction with life. In these two studies, we assumed that vigor, a positive affect variable, would act as a mediating variable in the above relationship, and thus, we proposed an instrument for evaluating vigor in academic contexts. In Study 1, 707 …
Measurement invariance across gender and age in the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-Risc) in a Spanish general population
Women’s and men’s role in culture of honor endorsement within families
In this article, we analyze the patterns of culture of honor within Spanish families. Each member of 271 Spanish four-member families (parents and two children each, total N = 1084) completed a questionnaire containing scales for the culture of honor and for sociodemographic variables (gender, order born and age). The results show that intra-family similarities emerge. However, path analyses show that the gender and birth order of the child are r…

The Importance of Emotional Intelligence and Cognitive Style in Institutionalized Older Adults' Quality of Life
Despite previous evidence showing a positive relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and quality of life (QoL), associating older adults' emotional processing with several health indicators, few studies have explored both the IE and the a mechanisms through which they affect QoL. This cross-sectional study analyzes the mediator role of optimistic and pessimistic cognitive styles in the relationship between perceived EI (PEI) and QoL in 1…

Programa emocional para presos por violencia de género (PREMOVIGE)
The main objective of this research was to analyze whether the Program for Prisoners for Emotional Domestic Violence (Rodríguez-Espartal, 2012) is more effective than cognitive-behavioral treatment or no treatment in inmates imprisoned for violence against women. Participants were 36 male imprisoned for crimes related to violence against women in the Provincial Prison of Jaén II, divided into three groups according to treatment: cognitive-behavio…
An Adaptation of the Children’s Hope Scale in a Sample of Spanish Adolescents
Do gender stereotypes change? The dynamic of gender stereotypes in Spain
Men and women have historically occupied different roles in society. As societies have developed, the social roles of, and the stereotypes attached to, men and women have also changed. We may, therefore, expect there to be a dynamic component of gender stereotyping that affects the perception of men and women in the past, present, and future. Although this evolution of stereotypes is fairly well developed in the literature, a replication in Spain…
Emotional Intelligence and Personality Traits as Predictors of Psychological Well-Being in Spanish Undergraduates
The relationships were analyzed among emotional intelligence (EI), personality traits, and psychological well-being in undergraduates. In addition, the predictive capacity of EI and personality traits was analyzed. Results showed that low scores in neuroticism and high scores in extraversion are the dimensions of personality most related to all the psychological well-being scales, and also the best predictors of psychological well-being. Furtherm…
Causal Attributions About Feminine and Leadership Roles
In a cross-cultural study, the authors tested whether the leadership role is more congruent with the masculine than the feminine gender role. Participants in Germany and Spain evaluated a male or a female candidate for a leadership position in an industry congruent or incongruent with the candidate's gender role, or in an unspecified industry. In line with the authors' hypotheses, the female candidate was perceived as less qualified for the posit…
Envisioning Oneself as a Leader
In an examination of aspirations for leadership in the United States and Spain, male and female students envisioned themselves as a chief executive officer, vice president, or mid-level manager in an industry with a feminine image (clothing manufacturing) or a masculine image (auto manufacturing). Although men and women perceived these roles as equally positive, women perceived them as less possible and less facilitative of close relationships an…
