Secure attachment, developed through consistent relationships with attachment figures in childhood, is a crucial factor in fostering healthy interpersonal relationships and a positive self-perception. Part of the positive parenting approach and the theory of affect is taken as a basis to assess how perceived security, as an indicator of secure attachment, predicts adult self-concept through the mediating effects of resilience and positive self-esteem. A quantitative, cross-sectional, and nonprobabilistic study was conducted with 383 participants. We unveiled significant positive associations between perceived security, self-concept, resilience, and positive self-esteem. Path analysis demonstrated that resilience and positive self-esteem sequentially mediate the relationship between perceived security during childhood and adult self-concept. Findings suggest that the ability to cope with adversity and personal acceptance underlie the impact of perceived security on self-concept. It is recommended to promote family intervention programs framed within positive parenting that focus on fostering secure attachment given its influence on adult life. It is also deemed essential to incorporate the promotion of resilience and self-esteem into programs aimed at youths, and adult role models can enhance their self-perception and resilience in the face of potential effects stemming from insecure parenting practices.

La población joven ha desarrollado un particular uso del comercio electrónico, modificado por el impacto de las condiciones de la pandemia producida por el COVID19. El presente estudio parte de la actitud y percepción de los consumidores, y tuvo como objetivo identificar y mapear el proceso de compra online, así como los criterios de confianza y de satisfacción en la adquisición digital de servicios y productos. Se tomó como marco teórico las representaciones sociales, y se desarrolló el análisis siguiendo el método de Reinert a través del programa informático IRAMuTeQ. El corpus incluyó las aportaciones de 203 jóvenes universitarios. Se empleó el Análisis Jerárquico Descendente y el Análisis Factorial de Correspondencia, dando como resultado 4 clases asociadas al proceso de compra online (información del producto, seguridad web, valor económico del producto, relación calidad-precio), 4 clases en los criterios de confianza (fiabilidad de la página web, valoraciones positivas, experiencias compartidas, seguridad y oficialidad) y 3 clases relacionados con la satisfacción de la compra online (óptima recepción del producto, rapidez del servicio, cubrir expectativas). Se consideró de especial importante en la implementación de estrategias publicitarias la seguridad web, el fomento de redes de experiencias, la honestidad y transparencia de las características del producto o servicio, así como la eficacia de sus entregas.

Unos de los hechos característicos en las ciencias humanas y sociales a partir de la primera mitad del siglo XX es el esfuerzo por conceptualizar la sociedad actual. Tras la distinción entre sociedad moderna y postmoderna se esconde un proceso de definición de las condiciones contemporáneas. Un momento de ‘crisis’ que se manifiesta en diferentes ámbitos, como ‘el fin de las ideologías’ en el pensamiento político. El presente artículo expone, analiza y compara los epítetos más destacados de la sociedad actual, no de forma exhaustiva, donde se propone una clasificación según se conciba la sociedad por sus causas, sus consecuencias o por la sobredimensión de algunas de sus características. Ante esta visión fragmentada de la sociedad, será preciso afrontar el hecho social de forma más compleja, por lo que se deberá incluir las aportaciones de la teoría crítica, del concepto de sociedad reflexiva.

Spain was one of the countries in which more severe lockdown policies were imposed during the second term of 2020 to mitigate the unprecedented health crisis. The measures restricted citizens’ mobility, obliging families to stay confined at homes for 99 days since 15 March 2020. The measures created a number of challenges that affect the family climate. This paper aims to empirically analyse how the family climate in Spain has been affected by COVID-19. The family climate assessment was based on an online questionnaire answered by 2034 citizens. A multi-criteria decision-making method rooted in fuzzy logic and TOPSIS, and a fuzzy clustering method, are applied to analyse the effects of the COVID-19 on the family climate. The fuzzy clustering method reveals that there are three different family climate profiles, namely (1) extreme positive, (2) extreme negative, and (3) intermediate. Our results show that some traits affect having a more or less positive family climate. The authors discuss the main contributions and the policy implications that could provide insights into future measures.

Subjective well-being, influenced by various factors such as personality and interpersonal relationships, is crucial to the happiness of everyone. This article presents the findings of a mixed-method and exploratory study on subjective well-being among university students, focusing on understanding their individual perceptions and how these influence their happiness. Utilizing social representations theory and Reinert’s lexical analysis method, the study examined conceptions of happiness and the contributing factors among participants. The findings revealed that perceptions of happiness among university students clustered into four distinct classes, highlighting two primary dimensions: personal life evaluation and emotional experience. These dimensions influence personal balance and participants’ basic needs. Additionally, the analysis identified three classes of factors influencing happiness, including life circumstances, personal factors, and social environment. The importance of mental health and interpersonal relationships in the emotional well-being of young university students was underscored. These findings emphasize the complexity of subjective well-being and the significance of addressing both emotional and contextual aspects to understand and enhance happiness and life satisfaction in this population.
