The Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) is the most widely used instrument to measure complicated grief (CG), but its psychometric properties have hardly been examined in relatives of those who died by violent means. The objective of this study was to obtain evidence of validity of the ICG in a relatives of those who died due to terrorist attacks in Spain. The factorial structure, internal consistency, and relationship with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress were analyzed in a Spanish sample of 211 relatives of people who died in terrorist attacks. The ICG presented a one-factor structure that supports the validity of its total score. This score showed excellent internal consistency indices (alpha =.927; omega =.932) and adequate correlation indices with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress (r =.71,.63 and.76, respectively). The ICG provides reliable and valid measures of CG in adults who have lost a family member due to violent death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
There is increasing interest in understanding personality disorders (PDs) from the five-factor model. Miller et al. (2005) and Costa and McCrae (2005) proposed two sets of scales based on the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R) facets to assess DSM-5 PDs. There are Spanish norms for the scales of Miller et al. (2005) based on personnel selection samples, but they are not appropriate for contexts with low social desirability. Normative, reliability, and convergent/discriminant validity data are presented for both sets of scales with volunteers from the general Spanish population (N = 682). The internal consistency and convergent/discriminant validity indices were excellent or good for all scales, especially for those of Miller et al. (2005). The differences between the sample of volunteers and that of personnel selection (d = 0.61) and between males and females (d = 0.34-0.38) justify the development of norms for the two sets of PD scales for situations of low social desirability and separate for males and females. Their usefulness in different contexts is discussed., Hay un creciente interés por entender los trastornos de la personalidad (TTPP) desde el modelo de los cinco factores. Miller et al.

- Abstract
Background: Previous studies have reviewed the evidence on the increase in alcohol consumption after a terrorist attack. However, an increase does not necessarily imply the presence of an alcohol use disorder. Objectives: To conduct a systematic and meta-analytic review of the literature on the prevalence of increased alcohol consumption and alcohol use disorders in adult exposed to terrorism. Methods: A search of PsycINFO, MEDLINE and PTSDpubs identified 29 studies published up to March 2023 in which 38 adult samples totaling 282,753 persons exposed to terrorism were assessed. Using inverse variance heterogeneity models, pooled prevalence rates of increased alcohol use and alcohol use disorders were calculated. Results: 6% (95% CI [2.9, 9.5]) of the adults exposed to a terrorist attack increased their alcohol consumption. The prevalence of increased alcohol use varies depending on the degree of exposure (p= .006, R2= .18) and the procedure for measuring increases (p= .043, R2= .37). The prevalence of alcohol use disorders in adults exposed to a terrorist attack is 5.5% (95% CI [3.7, 7.5]), a rate that is not higher than that obtained in the general population and varies depending on the type of alcohol disorder (p= .015, R2= .30). Conclusions: A relevant number of adults exposed to terrorist attacks will subsequently increase their alcohol consumption, but this increase is not associated with an increase in the prevalence of alcohol use disorders. Effects of terrorism on people's health are potentially widespread, but concerns of excessive alcohol use after terrorist attacks may be unwarranted., Antecedentes: existen revisiones sobre el aumento del consumo de alcohol tras atentados terroristas. Sin embargo, un aumento no implica necesariamente la presencia de un trastorno por consumo de alcohol. Objetivos: realizar una revisión sistemática y metaanalítica de la literatura sobre la prevalencia del aumento del consumo de alcohol y sus trastornos en adultos expuestos al terrorismo. Métodos: una búsqueda en PsycInfo, MEDLINE y PTSDpubs identificó 29 estudios publicados hasta marzo de 2023 que evaluaron 38 muestras de adultos totalizando 282.753 personas expuestas al terrorismo. Usando modelos de heterogeneidad de la varianza inversa, se calcularon tasas de prevalencia conjunta del incremento en consumo de alcohol y sus trastornos. Resultados: un 6% (IC al 95% [2,9, 9,5]) de los adultos expuestos a un atentado aumentarán su consumo de alcohol. La prevalencia del aumento varía según el procedimiento para medirlo (p= .043, R2= .37) y el grado de exposición (p= ,006, R2 = ,18). La prevalencia de los trastornos por consumo de alcohol entre adultos expuestos a un atentado es 5,5% (IC al 95% [3,7, 7,5]), tasa que no es superior a la de la población general y varía dependiendo del tipo de trastorno (p= ,015, R2= ,30). Conclusiones: un número relevante de adultos expuestos a un atentado aumentarán posteriormente su consumo de alcohol, pero este aumento no se asocia a una prevalencia incrementada de los trastornos por consumo de alcohol. Los efectos del terrorismo sobre la salud son potencialmente generalizados, pero la preocupación por un consumo excesivo de alcohol puede ser injustificada., Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Unión Europea, Ministerio de Trabajo y Economía Social, Comunidad de Madrid, Depto. de Personalidad, Evaluación y Psicología Clínica, Fac. de Psicología, TRUE, pub

- Abstract
Background: The prevailing theoretical models of posttraumatic growth (PTG) are fundamentally cognitive. However, few studies have examined the relationship of PTG with metacognitive beliefs, self-focused attention and trauma-related attitudes toward the world and oneself. These cognitive constructs might influence in the development of PTG. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship of PTG with dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs, dysfunctional self-focused attention (self-absorption), and dysfunctional trauma-related attitudes. Method: A sample of 250 adults (58.8% women; average age = 41.9 years) who had suffered a traumatic event in the past (on average, 14.5 years prior to the study) completed tests measuring those three cognitive constructs, symptoms of posttraumatic stress and depression, optimism, and PTG. Results: Multiple regression analyses revealed significant linear and inverted U-shaped relationships between some dimensions of PTG and negative beliefs about the uncontrollability and danger of worry, cognitive self-consciousness, private self-absorption, and dysfunctional traumatic attitudes related to chronification of distress. However, the variables that showed the greatest and most consistent relationships with PTG were the number of traumatic events suffered and posttraumatic stress symptomatology and, to a lesser extent, optimism and depressive symptomatology. Conclusion: The results highlight the important role that cognitive factors play in PTG. More specifically, the results underline the important role of people’s basic attitudes toward themselves and the world, as well as the role of self-focused attention and metacognitive beliefs. The results also support the hypothesis that a certain degree of emotional distress may be a necessary precondition for PTG., Antecedentes: Los modelos teóricos actuales sobre el crecimiento postraumático (CPT) son fundamentalmente cognitivos. Sin embargo, existen pocos estudios sobre la relación del CPT con las creencias metacognitivas, la atención autofocalizada y las actitudes sobre el mundo y uno mismo relacionadas con el suceso traumático, factores cognitivos que podrían influir en el desarrollo del CPT. El objetivo del estudio fue examinar la relación del CPT con las creencias metacognitivas disfuncionales, la atención autofocalizada disfuncional (autoabsorción) y las actitudes disfuncionales traumáticas. Método: Una muestra de 250 adultos (58.8% mujeres; edad media = 41.9 años) que habían sufrido un acontecimiento traumático hacía una media de 14.5 años completaron medidas de esos tres constructos cognitivos, de sintomatología de estrés postraumático y depresión, optimismo y CPT. Resultados: Análisis de regresión múltiple revelaron que algunas dimensiones del CPT se asociaron linealmente o en U invertida con las creencias metacognitivas negativas sobre la preocupación, la autoconciencia cognitiva, la autoabsorción privada y las actitudes disfuncionales traumáticas de cronificación del malestar. Sin embargo, los factores con una asociación mayor y más consistente con el CPT eran el número de sucesos traumáticos vividos y la sintomatología de estrés postraumático, y, en menor medida, el optimismo y la sintomatología depresiva. Conclusión: Los resultados subrayan la importancia de los factores cognitivos en el CPT, en especial, de las actitudes básicas sobre uno mismo y el mundo y de la atención autofocalizada, pero también de las creencias metacognitivas. Los resultados también apoyan la hipótesis de que algún malestar emocional puede ser una condición necesaria para el CPT., Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte, Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Depto. de Personalidad, Evaluación y Psicología Clínica, Fac. de Psicología, TRUE, pub

Recent studies have revived the issue of whether the five-factor personality model or Big Five is the most valid to summarize the most relevant personality traits or whether, on the contrary, the basic structure of personality traits would better fit a six-factor model such as the HEXACO model: Honesty–Humility (H), Emotionality (E), Extraversion (X), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), and Openness to Experience (O). In a Spanish community sample of 682 adults, the factorial structure of the 30 facets of the NEO-Revised Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) and its 16 facets common to the HEXACO model was analyzed. In two subsamples of participants, the internal structure of the NEO PI-R, of 30 and 16 facets, fit the five-factor Big Five model better than the six-factor HEXACO model. In addition, the internal 30-facet structure of the NEO-PI-R replicated that obtained in the original US validation and those previously obtained in Spain, although the latter used different participant samples (people evaluated in personnel selection processes, university students). These results suggest that, at least in Spain, the five-factor personality model or Big Five is still the most valid taxonomy of personality traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Suppelement material / material suplementario: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.997303/full#supplementary-material, The main objective of this work is to examine the prevalence of psychopathy in the general adult population from the main currently existing theoretical perspectives of psychopathy, using for this purpose the five-factor or Big Five model as a common language that allows the comparison and integration of the personality traits considered as defining psychopathy by these different perspectives. The NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R) was applied to a sample of 682 adults of the general Spanish population. The prevalence of clinical and subclinical psychopathy was calculated according to six different definitions of these two constructs based on Hare’s, Lilienfeld’s, triarchic, and DSM-5-hybrid models, and the simultaneous presence of a minimum number of personality traits that differed from the sample mean by one standard deviation. Prevalence rates for the different definitions were consistently low, indicating that the prevalence of clinical psychopathy in the general Spanish population is around 0.55%, and that of subclinical psychopathy is around 1.65%. There were no significant sex differences in the prevalence of psychopathy. These results question the alarmist claims that warn about the existence in society of a very high number of people with psychopathy who can cause many social, economic, physical, and psychological damage to others., El objetivo principal de este trabajo es examinar la prevalencia de la psicopatía en la población general adulta desde las principales perspectivas teóricas de la psicopatía actualmente existentes, utilizando para ello el modelo de los cinco factores o cinco grandes como lenguaje común que permite la comparación e integración de los rasgos de personalidad considerados como definitorios de la psicopatía por estas diferentes perspectivas. Se aplicó el Inventario de Personalidad NEO-Revisado (NEO PI-R) a una muestra de 682 adultos de la población general española. La prevalencia de la psicopatía clínica y subclínica se calculó de acuerdo con seis definiciones diferentes de estos dos constructos basados en los modelos de Hare, de Lilienfeld, triárquico e híbrido del DSM-5, y la presencia simultánea de un número mínimo de rasgos de personalidad que diferían de la media de la muestra en una desviación típica. Las tasas de prevalencia para las diferentes definiciones fueron consistentemente bajas, lo que indica que la prevalencia de la psicopatía clínica en la población general española es de alrededor del 0,55% y la de la psicopatía subclínica es de alrededor del 1,65%. No hubo diferencias de sexo significativas en la prevalencia de la psicopatía. Estos resultados cuestionan las afirmaciones alarmistas que advierten sobre la existencia en la sociedad de un número muy elevado de personas con psicopatía que pueden causar muchos daños sociales, económicos, físicos y psicológicos a los demás., Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Depto. de Personalidad, Evaluación y Psicología Clínica, Fac. de Psicología, TRUE, pub

- Abstract
Background: Scientific literature on posttraumatic growth (PTG) after terrorist attacks has primarily focused on persons who had not been directly exposed to terrorist attacks or persons who had been directly exposed to them, but who were assessed few months or years after the attacks. Methods: We examined long-term PTG in 210 adults directly exposed to terrorist attacks in Spain a mean of 29.6 years after the attacks (range: 2–47 years). The participants had been injured by a terrorist attack (38.6%) or were first-degree relatives of people who had been killed or injured by a terrorist attack (41.4% and 20%, respectively). They completed diagnostic measures of emotional disorders and measures of PTSD and depression symptomatology, optimism, and PTG. Results: Multiple regression analyses revealed gender differences (women reported higher levels of PTG than did men) and a positive linear relationship between PTG and cumulative trauma after the terrorist attack. Some PTG dimensions were significantly associated with PTSD symptomatology, these associations being linear, not curvilinear. However, PTG was not associated with depression symptomatology, diagnosis of emotional disorders, age, elapsed time since the attack, or optimism. In comparison with survivors assessed 18 years after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Spanish victims of terrorism showed higher levels of appreciation of life, but lower levels of relating to others and spiritual change. Conclusion: The findings underscore the influence of gender on PTG and provide support to the hypothesis that some emotional distress may be a necessary condition of PTG. Future studies on PTG after terrorist attacks should take into consideration the characteristics of the terrorist attack itself and the contexts of violence and threat in which it occurred. The political, social, and cultural characteristics of the community affected by it and the profile and characteristics of other traumatic events suffered after the attac, Antecedentes: La literatura científica sobre el crecimiento postraumático (CPT) tras un atentado terrorista se ha centrado principalmente en personas que no han estado expuestas directamente a un atentado terrorista o en personas que han estado expuestas directamente a un atentado terrorista, pero que fueron evaluadas unos pocos meses o años después del atentado. Método: Se examine el CPT a largo en 210 adultos expuestos directamente a atentados terroristas en España una media de 29.6 años después de los atentados (rango: 2-47 años). Los participantes habían sido heridos en un atentado terrorista (38.6%) o eran familiares de primer grado de personas que habían fallecido o habían sido heridos en un atentado terrorista (41.4% y 20%, respectivamente). Los participantes completaron medidas de trastorno emocional y medidas de sintomatología de TEPT y depresión, optimismo y CPT. Resultados: Análisis de regresión múltiple revelaron diferencias entre sexos en CPT (las mujeres informaron de niveles más elevados de CPT que los varones) y una relación lineal positiva entre el CPT y el trauma acumulativo tras el atentado terrorista. Algunas dimensiones del CPT se asociaron significativamente con la sintomatología de TEPT, y estas asociaciones fueron lineales, no curvilíneas. Sin embargo, el CPT no se asoció con la sintomatología depresiva, el diagnóstico de trastornos emocionales, la edad, el tiempo transcurrido desde el atentado o el optimismo. En comparación con los supervivientes evaluados 18 años después del atentado con bomba en Oklahoma City en 1995, las víctimas del terrorismo españolas mostraron niveles más elevados de apreciación por la vida, pero niveles más bajos de relación con los demás y cambio espiritual. Conclusión: Los resultados subrayan la influencia del sexo sobre el CPT y apoyan la hipótesis de que algún malestar emocional puede ser una condición necesaria para el CPT.

- Abstract
Background: The Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale, Form A (DAS-A), is the reference instrument for measuring dysfunctional attitudes which, according to Beck’s cognitive theory, constitute the key vulnerability factor for depression. The psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the DAS-A have been examined in university students, but not in people with psychological disorders, despite being one of the most widelyused instruments in research and clinical practice of cognitive therapy for depression. The objective of the present study was to obtain validity evidence for the DAS-A in victims of terrorism with and without emotional disorders. Method: The DAS-A’s factor structure, internal consistency, and relationship with depression were analyzed in 196 victims of terrorism with emotional disorders and 280 victims without disorders. Results: In both samples, the DAS-A exhibited a structure with three correlated factors: Achievement-Perfectionism, Dependency-Need for Approval, and Autonomous Attitude. In general, the total scale and the subscales showed good or adequate indices of internal consistency (alphas and omegas = .60 - .89) and a relationship with depression (r =.22 - .44). Conclusions: The DAS-A provides reliable, valid measures of depressogenic dysfunctional attitudes in Spanish adults with emotional disorders and victims of terrorism., Antecedentes: la Escala de Actitudes Disfuncionales, Forma A (DAS-A), es el instrumento de referencia para medir las actitudes disfuncionales que, según la teoría cognitiva de Beck, constituyen el factor de vulnerabilidad clave para la depresión. Las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española de la DAS-A han sido examinadas en estudiantes universitarios, pero no en personas con trastornos psicológicos, a pesar de ser uno de los instrumentos más utilizados en la investigación y práctica clínica de la terapia cognitiva de la depresión. El objetivo del presente estudio fue obtener evidencias de validez de la DAS-A en víctimas del terrorismo con y sin trastornos emocionales. Método: se analizó la estructura factorial, consistencia interna y relación con la depresión en 196 víctimas con trastornos emocionales y 280 sin trastornos. Resultados: la DAS-A presenta, en las dos muestras, una estructura de tres factores correlacionados: logro-perfeccionismo, dependencia necesidad de aprobación y actitud autónoma. La escala total y las subescalas mostraron, en general, índices buenos o adecuados de consistencia interna (alfas y omegas= .60 - .89) y de relación con la depresión (r = .22 - .44). Conclusiones: la DAS-A proporciona medidas fi ables y válidas de las actitudes disfuncionales depresógenas en adultos españoles con trastornos emocionales y en víctimas del terrorismo., Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Depto. de Personalidad, Evaluación y Psicología Clínica, Fac. de Psicología, TRUE, pub

- Abstract
CRUE-CSIC (Acuerdos Transformativos 2022), There are two parallel lines of research on the relationship between personality and depression, one based on the Big Five personality model and one on Beck’s cognitive theory of depression. However, no study has jointly examined the dimensions and facets of the Big Five and the dysfunctional attitudes of Beck’s theory. This was the objective of the present study. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DASA), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-IA) were applied to 221 adults from the Spanish general population (53.7% females; mean age: 38.3 years). Various multiple linear regression analyses revealed that only the facet of depression was significantly related to depressive symptomatology. The different associations of the broad and specific personality traits and the need to control as many third variables as possible to prevent the finding of spurious relationships are discussed., Existen dos líneas paralelas de investigación sobre la relación entre personalidad y depresión, una basada en el modelo de personalidad de los cinco grandes y otra en la teoría cognitiva de la depresión de Beck. Sin embargo, ningún estudio ha examinado conjuntamente las dimensiones y facetas de los cinco grandes y las actitudes disfuncionales de la teoría de Beck. Este fue el objetivo del presente estudio. Se aplicó el Inventario de Personalidad NEO Revisado (NEO PI-R), la Escala de Actitudes Disfuncionales (DAS-A) y el Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI-IA) a 221 adultos de la población general española (53.7% mujeres; edad media: 38.3 años). Diferentes análisis de regresión múltiple revelaron que únicamente la faceta de depresión estaba relacionada significativamente con la sintomatología depresiva. Se discute la diferente asociación que tienen los rasgos amplios y específicos de personalidad y la necesidad de controlar el mayor número de terceras variables posible para prevenir el hallazgo de relaciones espurias., Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Depto. de Personalidad, Evaluación y Psicología Clínica, Fac. de Psicología, TRUE, pub

Hay un creciente interés por entender la psicopatía desde el modelo de los cinco factores (MCF). Los metaanálisis de la literatura empírica sobre las relaciones entre el MCF y diferentes medidas de la psicopatía, las relaciones empíricas entre el NEO PI-R y las principales perspectivas teóricas sobre la psicopatía, el análisis de contenido de la PCL-R y las calificaciones de expertos sobre la psicopatía basadas en el NEO PI-R sustentan consistentemente que 12 facetas del NEO PI-R están asociadas con la psicopatía. A partir de estas asociaciones, en este estudio se desarrolló una escala de psicopatía derivada del NEO PI-R y se obtuvieron datos normativos, de fiabilidad y validez convergente/discriminante para esa escala con voluntarios de la población general española (n = 682). Los coeficientes de consistencia interna fueron buenos (α= 0,88-0,89). Las correlaciones convergentes con medidas del trastorno antisocial de la personalidad derivadas del NEO PI-R fueron excelentes (r = 0,88-0,96) y mayores que las correlaciones discriminantes con medidas de otros trastornos de la personalidad también derivadas del NEO PI-R. Los varones puntuaban más alto en la escala de psicopatía que las mujeres (d = 0,51), lo que justificó el desarrollo de baremos separados para varones y mujeres.

Terrorism remains one of the most serious global problems, affecting a very large number of people, a signifi cant percentage of whom can suffer psychological disorders arising from a terrorist attack. The purpose of this article is to describe the current state of scientifi knowledge about these psychological disorders and their treatment. Method: Systematic narrative or meta-analytical reviews of the scientifi literature on the subject published between 2010 and 2020 were searched for in PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and PTSDpubs. Results: The search located 16 systematic reviews whose findings were analyzed, leading to ten conclusions about the most common psychological disorders and their progression, the type and percentage of victims who will be most affected by them, and the most effective and useful treatments for those disorders during the various phases following an attack. Conclusions: After a terrorist attack, both direct and indirect victims will need shortand mid-term psychological care and follow up. Direct victims, the direct relatives of any deceased, and other victims signifi cantly exposed to the attack or its consequences, will also need long- and very long-term care and follow up. Currently, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapies are the treatment of choice for victims in the rescue, recovery, and returnto-life phases.

- Abstract
The main objective of this study was to systematically and meta-analytically review the scientific literature on the prevalence of psychopathy in the general adult population. A search in PsycInfo, MEDLINE, and PSICODOC identified 15 studies published as of June 2021. Altogether, 16 samples of adults totaling 11,497 people were evaluated. Joint prevalence rates were calculated using reverse variance heterogeneity models. Meta-regression analyses were conducted to examine whether the type of instrument, sex, type of sample, and country influenced prevalence. The meta-analytical results obtained allow us to estimate the prevalence rate of psychopathy in the general adult population at 4.5%. That being said, this rate varies depending on the participants' sex (higher in males), the type of sample from the general population (higher in samples from organizations than in community samples or university students), and the type of instrument used to define psychopathy. In fact, using the PCL-R, which is currently considered the “gold standard” for the assessment and definition of psychopathy, the prevalence is only 1.2%. These results are discussed in the context of the different theoretical perspectives and the existing problems when it comes to defining the construct of psychopathy., Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Depto. de Personalidad, Evaluación y Psicología Clínica, Fac. de Psicología, TRUE, pub

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue revisar de manera sistemática la literatura científica sobre la prevalencia de duelo complicado en las víctimas adultas de atentados terroristas. Una búsqueda en PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PTSDpubs y ProQuest Psychology Database identificó cinco estudios en los que, en conjunto, se habían evaluado 1.404 familiares o allegados de fallecidos en atentados terroristas. Los resultados obtenidos permiten estimar que la tasa de prevalencia del duelo complicado en las víctimas de atentados terroristas es del 42% varios años después del atentado y que este trastorno presenta una alta comorbilidad con el trastorno de estrés postraumático y el trastorno depresivo mayor en las víctimas del terrorismo. Estos resultados se discuten en el contexto de la investigación sobre la prevalencia del duelo complicado en distintos tipos de población y sobre las consecuencias psicopatológicas generales del terrorismo y de sus implicaciones para la práctica profesional en los ámbitos clínicos, legales y forenses.

La literatura científica sobre las consecuencias psicopatológicas derivadas de un atentado terrorista no ha abordado todavía si el tipo de atentado en la dimensión de selectivo frente a indiscriminado puede estar relacionado con el nivel de sintomatología de estrés postraumático que padecen sus víctimas. Puesto que en España las víctimas de atentados terroristas selectivos han sufrido unos niveles muy altos de estrés, amenaza y acoso físico y psicológico y unos niveles muy bajos de apoyo social, tanto antes como después del atentado, cabría esperar que tales víctimas deberían sufrir mayores niveles de sintomatología de estrés postraumático que las víctimas de atentados indiscriminados. Para comprobar esta hipótesis, se aplicó a una muestra de 224 víctimas directas e indirectas (familiares de fallecidos y heridos) del terrorismo en España la Lista de Verificación del Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático, versión específica (PCL-S), y se codificaron los atentados que habían sufrido en cuatro categorías: indiscriminado, selectivo, selectivo e indiscriminado, e indiscriminado con colectivo objetivo. Tras controlar el efecto del sexo, la edad, los años transcurridos desde el atentado y el tipo de víctimas, un análisis de regresión no encontró que el tipo de atentado estuviera relacionado significativamente con el nivel de sintomatología de estrés postraumático. Los resultados se discuten en el contexto de los factores psicosociales que han caracterizado el terrorismo en España y de los factores de vulnerabilidad y protección que predicen los niveles de psicopatología que pueden sufrir las víctimas tras un atentado terrorista.

Background: The Self-Absorption Scale (SAS) is one of the few instruments that measure dysfunctional selffocused attention or self-absorption, a transdiagnostic factor of vulnerability to various emotional disorders. The internal structure of the Spanish version of the SAS and its relationship with other variables have not been examined, nor has whether its subscales provide relevant information. These were the two goals of the present study. Method: The factor structure of the SAS, its internal consistency, and its relationship with depression and post-traumatic stress were analyzed in a Spanish community sample of 519 adults. Results: The SAS presented a symmetrical bifactor structure with a general factor of self-absorption that explained most of the variance in the items and two specific factors of private and public self-absorption. The total scale and the two subscales of the SAS exhibited excellent, good or adequate reliability coefficients (alphas/omegas = .70 - .88) and correlated with depression and post-traumatic stress (r = .34 - .46). Conclusions: The SAS provides reliable, valid measures of dysfunctional selffocused attention in Spanish adults, but its Private and Public Self-absorption subscales are not much more useful than the information provided by its total scale.

FIVE-factor model of personality , *PERSONALITY , *NEUROTICISM , *MENTAL illness , *METACOGNITION , *ANXIETY sensitivity - Abstract
Background: Although personality trait models have become consolidated as the hegemonic taxonomical models for describing personality and provide excellent capacity for predicting variables of psychological interest (i.e., mental disorders), there are still important gaps in our knowledge about why personality traits predict those variables. We hypothesised that intolerance of uncertainty, anxiety sensitivity and metacognition may partially give an answer to that why. Method: We analysed: (1) the relationship between those three variables and the five dimensions of the Big Five model (n = 914; 51.7% women) in Study 1, and (2) the relationship between those variables and neuroticism facets (n = 656; 55.7% women) in Study 2. Results: Intolerance of uncertainty was statistically related to the dimensions of neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness, while anxiety sensitivity also proved to be related to neuroticism. Both variables were related to the six facets of the neuroticism dimension (with the exception of the impulsivity facet for intolerance of uncertainty). Metacognition showed no significant relationship with any of the personality dimensions. Conclusions: The current work sheds some light on the why underlying the potential relationships between personality traits and relevant behaviours, with intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety sensitivity being particularly important, especially concerning the neuroticism dimension.

Background: The Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3) is the reference instrument for measuring anxiety sensitivity. The psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the ASI-3 have been examined in university students but not in adults from the general population. Whether the ASI-3 subscales provide relevant information has not yet been examined either. Method: The ASI-3's factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, and relationship with neuroticism were examined in a Spanish community sample of 919 adults. Results: In two subsamples of participants, the ASI-3 presented a structure of three correlated factors (physical, cognitive, and social concerns) that loaded on a higher-order factor, but the three factors did not explain much item variance. The total scale and subscales of the ASI-3 showed excellent or good indices of internal consistency (alphas and omegas = .81 - .91), and adequate indices of test-retest reliability at two months (r = .57 - .73) and the relationship with neuroticism and its facets (r = .19 - .52). Conclusions: The ASI-3 provides reliable, valid measures of anxiety sensitivity in Spanish adults, but its subscales are not very useful beyond the information provided by the total scale.
