El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer cómo los estudiantes están viviendo la situación actual de docencia no presencial “impuesta” por la Covid-19. Los participantes son 593 estudiantes españoles, mayoritariamente mujeres (76,4%), de una edad media de 22,76 años (Dt = 6,541), que viven en ciudades grandes (86,1%) y estudian en la universidad (61,7%). La recogida de datos se ha realizado con un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc que se responde en una escala tipo Likert de cinco categorías. La fiabilidad es alta (? = 0,890) y los resultados indican que la mayoría del alumnado cuenta con móvil, ordenador portátil o Tablet, con acceso a internet; pero el 14,8% reconocen no tener los recursos necesarios para afrontar la situación actual. Un 40,6% se ha desplazado para vivir el confinamiento en otro lugar (vivienda familiar, segunda residencia, etc.) y un 24,3% está en una localidad de menos de 100.000 habitantes, dato que se asocia con el hecho de que ahora cuenten con menos recursos. El alumnado de mayor edad considera que posee habilidades tecnológicas insuficientes, dificultades para implementar con eficacia las indicaciones del centro educativo y dificultad para ponerse al día ante los cambios constantes de las TIC.

The objective of this study was to evaluate, in a group of Galician inmates, if there were variations in the levels of physical and mental health and anxiety–depressive symptomatology, depending on the sports’ practice performed. The relationship between these constructs was also investigated. The sample was composed of 509 people deprived of liberty in prisons in the Autonomous Community of Galicia, Spain. A quantitative methodology was used, with the questionnaire as an information collection instrument, Student’s t-tests, Pearson’s correlation analysis and a stepwise regression analysis were carried out. The results indicated that those who performed physical activity during their stay in prison had higher levels of physical and mental health, as well as lower indicators of anxiety–depressive symptoms. People who did not practice sports showed a decrease in their perceived health levels when compared to those perceived in their pre-prison stage. A negative association was shown between perceived health levels and anxiety–depressive symptomatology. Perceived physical health, alone, explained 35% of the variance in perceived mental health. These results add to knowledge about the relationships between perceived health, anxiety–depressive symptoms and sports practice in the group of people deprived of liberty, highlighting the importance of promoting physical activity in penitentiary institutions.

The aim of this work was to better understand the experience of Physical Activity and Sports sciences students from the University of A Coruña (Spain), during the COVID-19 confinement in terms of exercising and physical activity at home. The sample is made up of 65 students (55 men and 10 women) with an average age of 20.8 years. The research is qualitative and a diary was used as an information gathering technique. An inductive content analysis was carried out, based on thematic analysis procedures. Four analysis categories were used, including sport practice at home and sports habits. The results show that there was initial discouragement, since sport is considered as a vital necessity and they were unable to practice it. However, the students looked for solutions and designed exercise routines they could use during the confinement. These exercise routines reflected their sports habits and training knowledge, which enabled them to better cope with confinement.

(1) Background: The dark triad refers to a personality configuration mainly characterized by the presence of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Even though adolescence is a critical stage in the development of dark triad traits, to date, this construct has not been studied among adolescents, mainly due to the lack of a measurement instrument adapted to this population. (2) Methods: Using a sample of 1642 adolescents, an adaptation of the Short Dark Triad (SD3) is proposed for this population. To this end, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis of the scale and examined its reliability and the intensity of the dark triad components by sex and sexual orientation. (3) Results: The adapted version of the scale (The Short Dark Triad—Adolescent Version; SD3-A) yielded good psychometric results. Confirmatory factor analysis corroborated the theoretical model of the three factors of dark personality. The results confirmed the greater presence of dark traits in male adolescents, and differences were observed based on sexual orientation. (4) Conclusions: The Short Dark Triad—Adolescent Version (SD3-A) is an effective and comprehensive instrument for the estimation of dark traits in adolescents and can be used as a screening test for this population.

The study of intimate partner violence has historically focused on violence perpetrated on females by males, but recent research suggests that, at least in teenage couples, the difference between genders is decreasing or even reversing. The objective of this study is to analyze the personality characteristics of adolescents who are violent with their partners. The sample consisted of 430 subjects (229 girls and 201 boys), between 14 and 19 years (M = 16.18, SD = 1.81), middle or high school students, which completed the Personality Assessment Inventory-Adolescents and the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory. The results show that girls have higher personality scores on the scales that show problems of internal behavior (depression and anxiety), while boys show higher scores on the scales of external behavior problems (antisocial behavior and drug use). Through a regression analysis, the results show predictive weights in the aggression traits (β = .331, p < .001), antisocial characteristics (β = .202, p < .001), and mania (β = .185, p < .05), as the scores on the scale of violence perpetrated increase in girls. For boys, personality variables do not seem to have such a decisive weight to explain the violence committed, since only heat and alcohol problems represent 5.4% of the variance found. These differences between boys and girls should be analyzed in future studies and, if the findings are maintained, taken into account when developing programs to prevent gender-based violence in adolescents. The results of this study show how the personality characteristics have a differential weight in the explanation of the teen dating aggression according to the gender of the aggressors, with a greater relevance in the prediction of the aggressive behaviors committed by the girls.

El ser humano experimenta emociones desde su nacimiento hasta la muerte que determinan la autopercepción del mundo que le rodea permitiendo establecer relaciones personales y sociales. El mundo globalizado actual ha generado un aumento del individualismo de alta competitividad, donde las emociones y sentimientos son elementos negados, lo que produce un analfabetismo emocional y la incapacidad de expresar sentimientos y emociones. El objetivo de este estudio se centra en identificar la percepción emocional de 816 estudiantes universitarios que cursan titulaciones de Ciencias de la Educación e Ingeniería Informática de la Universidad de A Coruña, mediante un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc (EPeQue: Emotional Perception Questionnaire). Los resultados muestran que el reconocimiento de las emociones de envidia y celos se sitúa en un nivel superior de reconocimiento, seguido de la identificación de las emociones en los demás, la vergüenza/culpa, auto-reconocimiento de emociones, seguido de la alegría, el miedo, la rabia, la ira/enfado y la tristeza. Los datos aportados por esta investigación permiten abrir puertas a otros campos relacionados con las competencias emocionales personales, académicas y profesionales, contribuyendo a la plena integración de los estudiantes universitarios en la nueva forma de entender la enseñanza, como un proceso centrado en el estudiante.
