ItemPredicting Employee Attitudes to Workplace Diversity from Personality, Values, and Cognitive Ability(Elsevier, 2019)The current study assessed the predictive validity of broad and narrow measures of personality, values, and cognitive ability on employee attitudes to workplace diversity. Australian working adults (N = 731; 66% female; mean age = 43, SD = 12) completed the 200- item HEXACO Personality Inventory, Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire, ACER measures of numeric, verbal, and abstract reasoning ability, the Attitudes Toward Diversity Scale, and four scales measuring prejudice towards female workers, ethnic workers, older workers, and workers with a disability. Results showed that Honesty–Humility, Extraversion, Openness, and cognitive ability (especially verbal) predicted more positive attitudes to workplace diversity. Valuing power, security, and tradition more, and valuing universalism less was associated with more negative attitudes to workplace diversity.

ItemValidación preliminar del IIESS-R. Una nueva medida de la inteligencia emocional [Preliminary Validation of the IIESS-R. A new measurement of emotional intelligence](Federación Española de Asociaciones de Psicología, 2006)El presente trabajo reporta la revisión y validación del IIESS, inventario construido para medir la Inteligencia Emocional (Sojo y Steinkopf, 2002), basado en el modelo de Mayer, Caruso y Salovey (1999). La validación del contenido de los items se realizó con jueces expertos. El análisis factorial de la versión preliminar de 103 items, con una muestra de 109 participantes, mostró la presencia de tres factores. Considerando la gran cantidad de items redactados negativamente cargados en un mismo factor, se hicieron nuevos análisis con la misma muestra, derivando una escala de 36 items. Un análisis factorial posterior, con una muestra independiente de 292 personas, reveló que el IIESS-R está conformado por tres dimensiones: Percepción de Emociones de Otras Personas, Percepción de las Propias Emociones y Manejo Emocional. Para la validación concurrente de esta versión se emplearon cuestionarios de personalidad, con resultados acordes a lo esperado, reflejando la validez de este instrumento.

ItemPacientes oncológicos con diagnostico reciente: Valoración e intervención sobre la depresión, ansiedad y calidad de vida a través de un programa preventivo de intervención(Sociedad Venezolana de Psiquiatria, 2006)La presente investigación tiene como objetivos: 1. Medir niveles de ansiedad, depresión y calidad de vida en pacientes con diagnóstico reciente de cáncer. 2. Aplicar y valorar la efectividad de un programa de prevención psicológica secundaria, sobre los niveles de ansiedad, depresión y calidad de vida en los pacientes participantes. Método: Se trabajó con una muestra de 28 pacientes con diagnóstico reciente de cáncer, 11 pacientes no culminaron el estudio, los 17 pacientes restantes fueron divididos en forma accidental en dos grupos: experimental y contról, con edades comprendidas entre los 20 y 75 años, de ambos sexos y provenientes del Hospital Militar "Dr. Carlos Arvelo". El diseño empleado fué experimental, de tipo ensayo terapéutico controlado, pre-test y pos-test en dos grupos independientes, y a través de la ejecución de un programa de intervención secundario para obtener consecuencias en los niveles de depresión, ansiedad y calidad de vida en los pacientes del grupo experimental, y compararlos con los del grupo control, evaluados a través de la escala HAD y Karnofsky. Resultados: indican que el programa de intervención secundaria es efectivo al lograr disminuir los niveles de depresión, ansiedad y mejorar la calidad de vida en pacientes con diagnóstico reciente de cáncer. Con hallazgos estadísticamente significativos entre el pre-test y pos-test del grupo experimental, post intervención. Present investigation has three objectives. 1. To measure levels of anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients with recent diagnosis of cancer. 2. To apply and value effectivity of a secondary programme of psychological prevention, upon levels of anxiety, depression and quality of life on study subjects. Method: a sample of 28 subjects with recent diagnosis of cancer, 11 subjects did not finish the study, 17 remaining subjects were divided in an accidental fashion in one experimental group and one control group with ages between 20 and 75 years, both sexes attending the Military Hospital "Dr. Carlos Arvelo" at Caracas, Venezuela. It is an experimental study design, of the controlled therapeutic essay, pre-test and pos-test on two independent groups, by means of the execution of a secondary intervention programme in order to obtain consequences on levels of depression, anxiety and quality of life on subjects in the experimental group compared with the control group, evaluated through HAM-D and Karnofsky Quality of Life Scale.

ItemWho Is the Wolf and Who Is the Sheep? Towards a More Nuanced Understanding of Workplace Incivility(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2018-01-31)Cortina, Rabelo, and Holland's (2018) perspective on studying victimization in organizations is a welcome contribution to workplace aggression research. We share their believe that considering a perpetrator predation paradigm may advance and proliferate research on issues related to gender harassment, bullying, mobbing, and other explicitly overt forms of victimization where the intent to harm is supposedly clear. However, we propose that, if blindly adopted, neither the dominant victim precipitation paradigm nor the suggested perpetrator predation paradigm will improve research on incivility or other more covert and indirect forms of victimization. In fact, we suggest in our commentary that both models may be counterproductive for understanding and remedying incivility in organizations.

ItemAtención y memoria en una muestra de pacientes con quejas de memoria(Sociedad de Neuropsicología de Argentina, 2014-07-14)The goal of this investigation was to evaluate cognitive deficits on attention and memory through neuropsychological testing in patients with memory complaints. We assessed 204 subjects divided into four groups: 33 controls, 62 with No Cognitive Disorder, 65 with non demential cognitive disorder and 44 with dementia of the Alzheimer’s Type. We administrated several neuropsychological tests to evaluate focalized attention, sustained attention, attention span, concentration, retention and recall memory for both verbal and visual material. The results show that patients with dementia of the Alzheimer’s Type show deficit in all the modalities of attention and memory assessed. The patients with non demential cognitive disorder differ from controls only if the group was divided by age. In patients under 60 years of age there were no differences in the tests administered compared to controls; the group of patients with 60 years and over was different from controls in some tests of attention and memory, with the group of controls having better results than the group of patients with non demential cognitive disorder. We conclude that this group of patients corresponds to Mild Cognitive Disorder and that this entity should consider age in its diagnostic criteria.
