Individual and relational factors linked to the perception of divine forgiveness among Spanish-speaking Catholics.

Exploring the Links Between Parenting Styles, Differentiation of Self and Substance use in Spanish-Speaking Adolescents
Research shows that parenting, specifically, parental warmth and demandingness, are associated with lower substance use. However, little is known about the psychological phenomena that underlie this association. This study aims to explore the relationship between parenting (warmth and demandingness) and substance use, considering the moderating role of the dimensions of differentiation of self (emotional reactivity and emotional cutoff), a key ps…
Differentiation of Self, Attachment Experiences, and Dyadic Adjustment
Romantic relationships are a cornerstone of adult life, profoundly influencing individuals' overall well‐being. When these relationships become distressed, the consequences often extend beyond the couple, affecting families and the communities. Despite growing research on factors associated with couple relationships, much of the existing evidence is limited to the US and English‐speaking populations, underscoring the need for studies in other con…
Catholic Confession and Divine Forgiveness Perception
This theoretical article examines Roman Catholic confession as a key sacramental practice for experiencing Divine Forgiveness (DF), with a focus on Spanish-speaking Catholic contexts. It argues that the theology, ritual structure, and culturally embedded relational dynamics of confession provide insights that have not been fully integrated into the psychological literature on DF. The analysis has three aims: (1) to articulate confession as a rela…
Relational Ethics and Differentiation of Self
Contextual therapy, concerned with equity of responsibility and relational balances, seeks to reintroduce the truth of personal uniqueness and genuine dialogue in meaningful relationships by establishing a bridge between individual therapy and family therapy. Bowen family systems theory, on the other hand, is an approach that considers differentiation as a concept involving the degree to which a person becomes individuated from the parents. This …
Parenting Style, Differentiation of Self, and Pornography Use Among Adolescents
Parenting style and differentiation of self (DoS), understood as an ability associated with emotional regulation, are two factors that may be linked with pornography use in adolescents. The main aim was to explore the association between parenting style (specifically warmth and demandingness), DoS (specifically emotional cutoff and emotional reactivity) and pornography use in a sample of 7161 hispanic adolescents aged 12 to 17. Frequency of porno…

The purpose of the current study was to identify specific ways Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT; S. Johnson) could be adapted to better meet the needs of clients in Spanish‐speaking countries throughout Europe and the Americas. The results were drawn from responses to a qualitative questionnaire regarding the experiences of learning and applying EFT; 103 therapists in 12 different countries where Spanish is spoken responded to the survey.…
Factors Associated with Social Workers’ Likelihood to Report Suspected Child Abuse
Whilst there have been recent national surveys about reporting child abuse in several low- and middle-income countries, data from China are lacking. This study examined the prevalence of reporting suspected child abuse and factors associated with having ever reported in a sample of social workers from mainland China. Nationally representative data from the China Social Work Longitudinal Study were used, and responses from 3,510 participants who h…
Socio-emotional adjustment in children attending family centres
Family services offer the possibility of producing data sets, capable of primary analyses to measure service efficacy, and secondary analyses to develop nuanced understandings of family needs. In this article, we report secondary analysis of data drawn from 1,151 families elicited upon intake to family centres in Ireland. The aim was to examine correlates of children’s socio-emotional functioning, with focus on the quality of relationships betwee…
Matched and Fully Private? A New Self-Generated Identification Code for School-Based Cohort Studies to Increase Perceived Anonymity
Anonymous questionnaires are frequently used in research with adolescents in order to obtain sincere answers about sensitive topics. Most longitudinal studies include self-generated identification codes (SGICs) to match information. Typical elements include a combination of letters and digits from personal data. However, these data may make the participant feel that their answers are not truly anonymous, and some studies using these types of SGIC…

Familia, amigos y otras fuentes de información asociadas al inicio de las relaciones sexuales en adolescentes de El Salvador
Messages from family and friends are factors that seem to influence the initiation of sexual activity by young people. Sexual health promotion programs in El Salvador should take these factors into account
Relationships, love and sexuality
There is room for further encouraging parents to talk more with their children about sexuality, specially aspects related to feelings and emotions in order to help them make better sexual choices. Indeed, teens wish to better communicate with their parents on these issues. Condoms are regarded as safer than what they really are by almost half of the participants of this study, and such incorrect knowledge seems to be associated with sexual initia…
