Couple relationships during adolescence favors the integral development of adolescents, but they are not always healthy, as episodes of violent behavior occasionally occur. Violence in adolescent couples can present different typologies depending on the type of risk behaviors that are exercised towards the partner. This systematic review has been based on a literature search carried out through different databases with the aim of compiling studies developed with individuals between 10 and 18 years of age who suffer violence during courtship. The aim is to analyze the reality faced by adolescents who suffer violence at the hands of their partners, providing information on the findings of different prevention and intervention programmers that can help to reduce this problem. The results highlight the existence of different risk behaviors and types of violence –online, offline (traditional) and both–. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to transfer the pedagogy of environmental education, which reinforces pro-environmental behaviors, to everyday settings by adopting a conceptual and methodological approach. For this purpose, a training path was implemented with the educational community of the Colegio Jorge Gaitán Cortés in Bogotá, Colombia. Five groups of pedagogical interventions were performed there: (1) resignification of relationships with the environment through interpretive tours, (2) inter-institutional articulation for environmental education, (3) curricular focus on environmentally relevant behaviors, (4) implementation of environmental volunteering, and (5) institutional actions for environmental sustainability. This paper also reviews other studies in this field that revolve around three perspectives: environmental education to generate pro-environmental cultural behaviors and practices, the concept of educating city, and the interdisciplinary study of environmental aspects. The results indicate that pedagogic actions should be transferred to the immediate environment and the everyday lives of the educational community. In addition, experiential and cognitive approaches can be combined to encourage the socio-environmental acknowledgement of environmentally friendly spaces in the city, identity formation, and the establishment of bonds with the territory. The pedagogical emphasis on pro-environmental actions enabled students to come up with solutions to problems that are relevant to them. The path towards the construction of a culture of environmental sustainability and, particularly, the consolidation of the achievements of pedagogical interventions require medium and long-term processes that influence the habits and lifestyle of the members of the educational community.

One of the core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is the deficit in the socio-emotional area, showing atypical response patterns to social stimuli and responding with different levels of activation or arousal (hyperexcitation or hypoexcitation). Some investigations have shown how exposure to negative valence images has an effect on the subsequent recognition of emotions in a population without ASD. In contrast, the few studies that exist on emotional permeability in people with ASD show atypical patterns of physiological response to the induction of emotions. In the present investigation, the impact of "negative" emotional induction is analyzed, through images of the International Affective Picture System (IAPS, Lang et al., 1995), in the recognition of emotions through the face through Facial Discrimination Battery (FDB; Rojahn et al., 2006), in a group of 31 adults with ASD and intellectual disability. An ANOVA of repeated measures was performed and the results demonstrated the existence of a certain emotional "impermeability", since the induction of emotions did not influence the subsequent emotional recognition. These results are consistent with the hypoexcitation model, which argues that people with ASD experience less excitement or reward when they attend to social stimuli. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The design of national policies, treatment models, and juvenile judicial systems are directed toward crime prevention, and family and social reintegration. However, the Latin American and Caribbean region has the highest crime rates and crime victims among the population of children and adolescents. For this reason, we will delve into an analytical exploration of the theoretical notions and constructs, which describe socio-educational interventions and treatments, oriented toward the promotion of prosocial actions in legally infringing adolescents, in resocialization programs.

This research was based on two main interbehavioral suppositions: 1) Behavior is likely modulated by historical and/or situational factors; 2) Pernicious behavior can be regulated by situational factors such as the consequences. The objective was to evaluate the effect of the consequences (positives and negatives) on the choice between to harm or do not harm a classmate while solving a task. Thirty-five college students were randomly assigned into one of five experimental groups. The task consisted in solving arithmetic operations proportionally scored from 1 to 5 points. The results are discussed in terms of the regulatory role of the consequences (in relation to pernicious behavior) as a situational factor. The main result was that the negative consequences by the choice of do not harm the partner mainly modulated the occurrence of pernicious behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the characteristics of free spaces that encourage copresence, interaction and diversity of user profiles, in eight selected locations at the main campus of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The research adopted quantitative and qualitative methods to explore the potential of configuration and spatial organization in creating educational areas that produce informal encounters. Data were collected through systematic observation, which generated behavioral maps, and through the application of questionnaires, which gathered information about diversity and the reasons for using each location. The study shows that the areas with the highest intensity of copresence and interaction are the spaces close to the academic services. They are well-configured spatially and have high values in both the local syntactic measures of "integration" and "choice". Regarding the variable "diversity", the measure of "global choice" was able to capture the diversity in spaces located between academic centers, while the diversity among courses was best obtained through the measures of "local choice", "global integration" and "local integration", in that order.

The use of GPS technology in monitoring Lidia cattle allows us to have relevant data in real time, providing information about the movement, frequented territory, behaviour patterns, etc. In this paper, 9 animals, from 3 different herds in the province of Salamanca (Spain) were monitored, and its characteristics were: mother (8-15 years) - daughter (2 years) - Independent (4-5 years). We designed a methodology that allowed extracting information from the position data to understanding the behaviour of cattle grazing and studying unknown aspects such as social behaviour. Foraging areas of each animal were calculated with an occupancy average of 92% of the available space. Animals tend to start their daily activities grazing a few hours before dawn, which dims the evening to rest overnight. In the distances between the three pairs of animals (mother-daughter, mother-independent, independent-daughter) no significant differences were found that allow us to confirm the existence of a link "mother-daughter" that would make individuals of the same family remained close.

Mantled howler monkeys, Alouatta palliata, have been observed swimming in flooded forests, swamps, lagoons and rivers. This type of event had only been documented on solitary individuals in fresh water bodies so far. Therefore, the purpose of this note is to report, for the first time, a troop of A. palliata swimming from the continent to a nearby island in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: reconocer y comprender las prácticas culturales y sentidos referidos a la gestión del riesgo sísmico de un grupo poblacional que ha vivido diversas situaciones de este tipo, en la ciudad de Manizales, Caldas. Metodología: este estudio se ubicó en el campo de la investigación cualitativa, basado en la micro-etnografía y el análisis cualitativo, asumiendo como fundamento que la investigación de este tipo centra sus análisis en el contexto histórico cultural de las comunidades. Resultados: las prácticas culturales relacionadas con la gestión del riesgo son creaciones de significado que a partir del saber popular se configuran con su particular modelo de internalización cultural frente al fenómeno sísmico. Este proceso de aprendizaje comunitario se soporta a partir de convenciones morales y valores familiares que apremian desde una ideología de prevención y supervivencia, lo que se constituye para dicha comunidad en un hecho legítimo. Por otra parte, se encuentra, la no apropiación simbólica del conocimiento de carácter técnico-científico, situación que genera resistencias comunitarias a la apropiación de los nuevos contenidos, por no sentir un verdadero respeto e inclusión de su tradición cultural. Conclusión: la gestión del riesgo no es sólo la reducción de éste, sino la comprensión social de las prácticas culturales, de conductas y modos de vida (incluso de ideologías y de perspectivas de mundo, de vida, de religión), que en términos sociales, requiere de la participación de los diversos estratos, sectores de interés y grupos representativos, y así, reconocer cómo se construye en colectivo la gestión del riesgo como una cultura de las buenas costumbres. Objective: to recognize and understand cultural practices and meanings related to seismic risk management of a community that has lived different situations of this kind in the city of Manizales, Caldas. Methodology: is a qualitative research, based on micro-ethnography and qualitative analysis, assuming that these type of research focuses in a analysis on the historical and cultural context of communities. Results: cultural practices related to risk management are creations with meaning since a particular model of cultural internalization about the seismic phenomenon. This process is supported in the community, learning from family values and moral conventions adopted it for an ideology of prevention and survival, that is legitimate for the community. On the other hand, the non-symbolic appropriation of knowledge of technical-scientific situation creates community resistance to the appropriation of new content, because they don't feel a real respect and inclusion of their cultural Conclusion: that risk management is not just to reducing the risk, it necessary to understand the social understanding of cultural practices, behaviors and lifestyles (including ideologies and perspectives of the world, of life, of religion), in social terms, it requires the participation of various strata and sectors of interest representative groups, and thus recognize how risk management is built collectively as a culture of good habits.

The Aim of this study was to identify the existence of significant relationships between structural and functional indicators of personal networks of demobilized individuals and their levels of physical and psychological quality of life. We assessed 37 individuals living in an area of military distension in the Colombian Caribbean using the SF-36 and the ASSIS in a correlational study. The data were examined with Social Network Analysis (SNA) and statistical calculation with the Student t and Pearson correlation coefficients. There were small networks, with high levels of dissatisfaction with social support and low indices of quality of life. There were significant differences in the general perception of support networks and obtaining objective help (p = 0.000) and correlations between levels of social participation in networks and psychological vitality of individuals.

This study analyzed the relationship between prosocial behaviour and academic goals in a sample of 2,022 Spanish compulsory secondary education students. The prosocial behaviour was measured with the Prosocial Behaviour scale of the Teenage Inventory of Social Skills (TISS) and academic goals were measured with the Achievement Goal Tendencies Questionnaire (AGTQ). The results revealed that students with high prosocial behaviour presented higher significantly scores in learning and performance goals. The prosocial behaviour was a positive and statistically significant predictor of learning and performance goals. Furthermore, learning and performance goals were positive and statistically significant predictors of the prosocial behaviour, whereas social reinforcement goals were a negative and statistically significant predictor of prosocial behaviour.

A cross-sectional study was carried out in order to assess the influence of a set of psychological and social variables on adherence behaviors in a sample of 69 persons with HIV, using a structural equations model. The final model revealed a strong influence of motives and social support on adherence behaviors, both explaining 49% of the total variance; also, an effect of adherence behaviors on viral load levels and of this one on T CD4+ cell counts were observed. The current study contributes to understand variables underlying adherence behaviors in a sample of persons with HIV, and therefore intervention programs directed to promote and/or to maintain these behaviors must to consider the specific weight of some psychological and social variables along the behavioral continuum.

The present study intended to explore construct validity of the Self-esteem Test for Adolescents and update psychometric properties found in previous studies. 1581 Mexican students (850 women and 731 men) of a public high school in Mexico City responded to the scale. The sample was split randomly in half. EFA was applied using one sample's data, and CFA to the other sample's data. The model, assumed to underlie responses to the Self-esteem Test for Adolescents, satisfactorily fit the data, confirming a structure of 4 factors: self-cognitions, competence cognitions, family relations and rage. Results of the present study corroborate previous data concerning content, criterion-related and construct validity of the Selfesteem Test for Adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the program "Yo quiero, yo puedo… mejorar mi salud y ejercer mis derechos" [I want to, I can…improve my health and exercise my rights], a pilot model was designed and implemented in three States of Mexico. This model aims to change nutrition and hygiene behaviors in the inhabitants of marginalized communities, through knowledge and psychosocial skills development facilitating personal agency and intrinsic empowerment. Evaluation of the program showed an effect on knowledge, assertive communication, personal agency and gender equity among the personnel in charge of the warehouses that provide the rural stores, and on knowledge, assertive communication, decision making and personal agency in the target population. Life skills training, knowledge and personal agency promotion enhance opportunities for poverty reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present a comparative research about attitudes towards offenders between security force officials from Argentina and Psychology and Law university students. The sample comprises 476 participants. We carried out a multivariate analyses of variance and it was observed that policemen got a lower media in aggressive attitudes (p = 0.0001) and in prosocial attitudes (p = 0.0001), and a higher media in passive attitudes (p = 0.0001). The security force officials' increase in passive attitudes and the lower scoring in aggressive attitudes, can be attributed to the strong emphasis in the obedience and aggressiveness control that the institution promotes, and it is present in the police trainning course.

A logical structure and the empirical bases for the study of fear of crime are proposed. A theoretical framework is tested via ordinal regression model on the results of the Fourth Survey on Victimization and Institutional Efficacy (ENVEI) of 2006. The main finding is that fear of crime at the neighborhood level is dependent upon the experience of being a crime victim, the levels of trust in local police and the content of the media news. These findings are partially different from previous studies in other countries. A discussion of the results, some ideas for further research and public security policy recommendations are included.
