Gratitude and Related Variables Among Older Adults for the Six Wave of Covid-19
Background/Objective: Different studies have shown how gratitude increases in times of uncertainty and adversity, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. But most research on gratitude has focused on young people and studies analyzing its predictors are scarce. This study examined the role that sociodemographic variables, COVID-19 characteristics, family functioning, emotional distress (anxiety and depression) and purpose in life had upon gratitude. Metho…
Protective and vulnerability factors of posttraumatic growth during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background and objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic is a major life event that has brought new challenges and threats. Some people may experience positive changes, such as post-traumatic growth (PTG). Several factors may enhance or hinder this possibility of development. There is extensive literature considering protective and vulnerability factors separately. However, there is a lack of studies considering both factors based on a holistic approach.…
Different Exercise Types Produce the Same Acute Inhibitory Control Improvements When the Subjective Intensity Is Equal
Twenty-eight active older people (67.19 ± 4.91 years) who engaged in physical exercise activity twice a week were recruited to participate in a counterbalanced experimental protocol. The participants performed three different exercise sessions on three different days, one based on aerobic activities, one based on strength exercises with elastic bands, and one based on stationary balance games. During all three sessions, they were encouraged to ma…
Regression-Based Normative Data for Independent and Cognitively Active Spanish Older Adults
Normative data obtained from the general population might not be sensitive to identify low scores in cognitively active older adults, increasing the risk of misdiagnoses. A friendly calculator is available for neuropsychological assessment
Regression-Based Normative Data for Independent and Cognitively Active Spanish Older Adults
In this work, we developed normative data for the neuropsychological assessment of independent and cognitively active Spanish older adults over 55 years of age. Method: Regression-based normative data were calculated from a sample of 103 non-depressed independent community-dwelling adults aged 55 or older (67% women). Raw data for Digit Span (DS), Letters and Numbers (LN), the Trail Making Test (TMT), and the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) w…
Regression-Based Normative Data for Independent and Cognitively Active Spanish Older Adults
the normative data obtained from the general population might not be sensitive enough to identify low scores in cognitively active older adults, incorrectly classifying them as cognitively normal compared to the less active population
Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Violence Exerted, Received, and Perceived in Teen Dating Relationships
Emotional intelligence plays a critical role in adolescence since it involves a change towards psychological, social, and sexual maturity; a stage in which the foundations of intimate social relationships are established. Emotional competences regulate the quality of these relationships in adolescence and can provide protection against or facilitate the use of violence within them. Based on the above, this study aims to analyze the relationship b…
Benefits of a psychosocial intervention programme using volunteers for the prevention of loneliness among older women living alone in Spain
This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of a psychosocial intervention programme in preventing loneliness and increasing self-efficacy and social participation among older women living alone in Spain. A sequential, nested experimental design was used, with a primary quantitative quasi-experimental pre-post study with a control group (CG) and a secondary qualitative study. A total of 48 women participated, and 34 of them (the experimental gro…
Desarrollo de un programa psicoeducativo en inteligencia emocional para cuidadores principales de enfermos de Alzheimer
A comienzos del año 2000 se dieron los primeros pasos en la constatación empírica de los efectos beneficiosos de la Inteligencia Emocional (IE) sobre las personas. Sin embargo, y a pesar de estudiarse los beneficios de este constructo en diversos ámbitos como el educativo, el laboral o el de la salud, no existen demasiados trabajos centrados en el estudio que la IE pude tener sobre las habilidades sociales de los Cuidadores de Enfermos de Alzheim…
Development of a Psychoeducational Program in Emotional Intelligence for Primary Caregivers of Alzheimer Patients
In early 2000 the first steps in the empirical evidence of the effects that a good emotional intelligence (EI ) can have on people, however, despite the benefits of studied this construct in various fields such as education, labor or health, there are not many studies focusing on the study of skills that EI has on caregivers of Alzheimer. In this paper Social Skills and IE caregivers of Alzheimer patients are evaluated. A psychoeducational interv…
Life Review Based on Remembering Specific Positive Events in Active Aging
The findings suggest that practice in AM for specific events is an effective component of LR that could be a useful tool in enhancing emotional well-being in active aging programs, thus reducing depressive symptoms
