Purpose: The main objective of this study was to examine the role of social identification, collective action and resilience in reducing the negative consequences of internalized stigma on the psychological quality of life of people with physical disability using path analysis. We propose a model with two paths: the first through social identification and collective action and the second via resilience. Method: A total of 288 Spanish people with physical disability aged between 18 and 82 years (46.4% males; mean [SD] of age = 45.1 [12.3] responded to the questionnaire. Data were collected for three months through an online survey. Results: The tested model adequately fit the data. We found that the relationship between internalized stigma and the psychological quality of life of people with physical disability was mediated by resilience. However, neither social identification nor collective action mediated the association between internalized stigma and quality of life among our participants. Conclusions: The results confirmed the negative association between internalized stigma and quality of life in the population with physical disability. The results show that some interactive processes, such as resilience, may contribute to decreasing the negative effects of internalized stigma. In contrast, no effects of identification with the group or collective action intention were found.

The main objective of this research is to examine the consequences of perceived discrimination in family caregivers of people with physical disabilities. Through path analysis, we test the association between caregivers' perceived discrimination and their anxiety and depression and the mediating role that affiliate stigma and self-efficacy may play. We proposed a model that has not been tested previously in the literature on caregivers of people with physical disabilities. The sample includes 186 Spanish fathers (35%) or mothers (65%) raising children with physical disabilities. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated and structural equation modeling was used to examine the mediating effect. Results show that caregivers' perceived discrimination is positively associated with their affiliate or internalized stigma that in turn is harmful to their anxiety and depression. However, caregivers' self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relation between affiliate stigma and caregivers' anxiety and depression. These results may be useful for designing interventions to improve the psychological well-being of the parents of children with physical disabilities.

La moda es la segunda industria más contaminante del mundo. Con el fin de minimizar su impacto negativo, el foco de este trabajo se centra en los conceptos de sostenibilidad y economía circular aplicados en el sector textil. Se plantean dos objetivos: 1) analizar el grado de conocimiento que se tiene de los ODS y su posible influencia en el sector textil y, 2) explorar el comportamiento de la muestra respecto a la ropa de segunda mano. 332 participantes (41,80% hombres y 58,20% mujeres), con una media de edad de 39,67 (DT = 12.81) respondieron un cuestionario que incluía variables sociodemográficas, conocimiento de los ODS y su impacto en el sector textil y comportamiento relacionado con la compra en negocios de segunda mano. Los datos reflejan que la mitad de los entrevistados está al tanto de los ODS y del concepto de economía circular. No obstante, desconocen cómo la industria textil y sus prácticas van en contra del desarrollo sostenible y, por tanto, las posibilidades de mejora en este campo. Asimismo, la mayoría de los encuestados conoce los negocios de ropa de segunda mano, pero más de la mitad de la población entrevistada nunca ha comprado en estos negocios y reflejan creencias negativas en torno a la compra ropa usada. Si bien, comprar y vender ropa de segunda mano contribuye a apoyar las políticas sostenibles, es necesario reducir las creencias negativas asociadas. Se presentan distintas líneas de actuación para mejorar el comportamiento sostenible de la muestra en el sector textil.

Background: Video-based action observation (AO) of exercise/motor-action content is increasingly delivered via social media. This expands reach and ecological validity but may shape motor simulation, perceived safety, and engagement. How people with chronic low back pain (CLBP) interpret and intend to use such videos remains underexplored. Methods: We conducted an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of semi-structured interviews with purposively sampled adults (n = 20; 10 CLBP, 10 asymptomatic). Interviews probed perceptions of exercise/motor-action AO videos drawn from common platforms. Analysis followed IPA procedures with iterative coding, constant comparison, and team reflexivity, and is reported according to COREQ. Results: Three interrelated themes were identified: (1) Emotional & motivational impact: CLBP participants frequently appraised bending, load and fast tempo as threatening and described protective avoidance rules. Motivation was present in both groups when videos felt safe and adaptable; (2) Self-assessment of physical capacity: Perceived competence increased when videos provided graded options and explicit safety cues. Anticipated task demand decreased with appropriate pacing/tempo, egocentric viewpoint, and credible modeling; (3) Cognitive movement assessment: Viewers attended to posture, tempo, breathing and error-avoidance cues. Action comprehension faltered when instructions were dense/fast or goals were unclear. Judgments about delivery (goal clarity, safety cues, pacing, viewpoint, modeling fidelity) shaped internal rehearsal and willingness to attempt. Conclusions: Individuals with and without CLBP perceive social-media–delivered exercise AO as useful when videos are tailored (graded options, clear safety messaging, appropriate pacing/viewpoint) and contextualized to pain-related concerns and digital literacy. These insights inform clinically oriented AO exercise-video libraries and implementation strategies (e.g., curated playlists, level-tagging, therapist-mediated briefing) to enhance acceptability and adherence in CLBP rehabilitation.

The main objectives of this study were to analyze the relationship between perceived stigma and psychological well-being among women survivors of intimate partner violence against women and to explore the mediating roles of a positive attitude toward seeking psychological help and resilience in this context. This cross-sectional study included 58 women survivors of intimate partner violence against women who were contacted through various providers of assistance to women victims in Extremadura (Spain). The relationships between the variables of the study were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and a path analysis to explore the potential mediation effects of resilience and attitude toward seeking psychological help in the relationship between perceived stigma of partner violence and psychological well-being. The results revealed negative relationships between the perceived stigma of partner violence and both resilience and psychological well-being. In contrast, perceived stigma was positively related to attitude toward seeking psychological help, while resilience and attitude toward seeking psychological help were positively related to psychological well-being. Resilience was found to mediate the relationship between perceived stigma and well-being as well as to promote attitude toward seeking psychological help. The results revealed the presence of perceived stigma in women who had experienced intimate partner violence against women as well as the negative effect of perceived stigma on their psychological well-being. These findings highlight the need to implement measures to address this problem through specific interventions as well as to sensitize the general population to this issue through awareness campaigns that promote understanding of the problem.

Purpose: Previous research has shown that psychological well-being (PWB) is associated with self-rated health (SRH) over time, but limited research has explored the reciprocal association. This study examined the longitudinal association between self-rated health and subsequent psychological well-being in a Spanish cohort. Methods: Data were collected from participants of the “Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra” (SUN) Project, a dynamic university graduate cohort study. Psychological well-being was measured using the Ryff scale. Multivariable linear regressions analyse assessed the relationships between self-rated health, measured at study’s baseline and after 4 years, and psychological well-being measured after a mean follow-up of 14.6 years. The association with Ryff’s six dimensions (self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth) was also assessed. Results: A total of 2,927 participants, mean age 38.7 years (SD = 11.2) at pre-baseline, 55.5% women, were followed-up for a mean of 14.6 years (SD 0.7). Compared to participants reporting poor/fair health, those with excellent self-rated health at baseline showed substantially higher subsequent psychological well-being scores (ajusted β = 15.1, 95% CI: 11.4–20.3) and were three times more likely to have above-median psychological well-being (adjusted OR=3.0, 95% CI: 1.8–4.8). A dose-response relationship was observed across self-rated health categories, with significant associations for all PWB dimensions. Additionally, self-rated health improvements during the first 4 years were associated with higher subsequent psychological well-being scores. Conclusions: Self-rated health showed a direct, long-term association with subsequent PWB among Spanish university graduates, suggesting that perceived health status may be an important determinant of future PWB. However, our findings are limited by the single measurement of PWB and the use of self-reported measures. Further studies in more diverse populations are warranted to confirm these results.
