Publicación Efecto diferencial de la etiqueta diagnóstica autista en la intervención con niños(Asociación Análisis Comportamiento, AAC, 2016) Barbero Rubio, Adrián; Molina Cobos, Francisco J.; Eisenbeck, Nikolett; López, Juan C.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3492-8451; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4958-9277The aim of this study is to analyze whether the label autistic (considering both the low performance and exceptional performance labels) influences the behavior of nine psychology students when teaching tasks to children with this diagnosis. The presence of various children who had to learn to perform a color discrimination task and a visual-motor task was simulated during the experiment. The participants observed the behavior of the imaginary children and could provide contingencies of reinforcement and response cost to them. Two experimental phases were established in which participants had to teach different children: an autistic child, a child without developmental problems, an autistic child who was exceptionally skilled in the tasks and a child without developmental problems who was unskilled in the tasks. The participants were informed of the characteristics of the children prior to the tasks. Results show significant differences in the participants’ response patterns depending on the experimental conditions and tasks. The influence of the autistic label is discussed in terms of the participants’ behavior.Publicación Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the “Dysfunctional Attitude Scale-Revised”(Fundación VECA para el Avance de la Psicología Clínica Conductual, 2015) Ruiz, Francisco J.; Suárez Falcón, Juan Carlos; Odriozola González, Paula; Barbero Rubio, Adrián; López López, Juan C.; Eisenbeck, Nikolett; Budziszewska, Lidia; Gil, Enrique; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8863-1111; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8632-3174; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4730-2148; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4958-9277The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) is a 40-item measure of dysfunctional schemas, a key construct of the cognitive model of depression. Most research has relied on the total score because of the mixed results of previous exploratory factor analyses conducted on the DAS. Accordingly, a revised, 17-item version of the DAS (hereafter, the DAS-R) has been recently proposed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and containing two factors: Perfectionism/Performance evaluation and Dependency. This study analyzes the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the DAS-R with a total of 629 participants. The DAS-R showed good internal consistency, temporal stability, and discriminant and convergent validity. CFA supported the two-factor solution found in the original scale; however, a hierarchical factor model with two first-order factors and a general factor showed the best fit of the data. The DAS-R provides general and specific measures of dysfunctional schemas that are theoretically meaningfulPublicación Inner harmony as an essential facet of well-being: a multinational study during the COVID-19 pandemic(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-26) Carreño, David F.; Eisenbeck, Nikolett; Pérez Escobar, José Antonio; García Montes, José M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0688-6485; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3728-6896This study aimed to explore the role of two models of well-being in the prediction of psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely PERMA and mature happiness. According to PERMA, well-being is mainly composed of five elements: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning in life, and achievement. Instead, mature happiness is understood as a positive mental state characterized by inner harmony, calmness, acceptance, contentment, and satisfaction with life. Rooted in existential positive psychology, this harmony-based happiness represents the result of living in balance between positive and negative aspects of one's life. We hypothesized that mature happiness would be a more prominent protective factor during the present pandemic than the PERMA composite. A total of 12,203 participants from 30 countries responded to an online survey including the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), the PERMA-Profiler, and the Mature Happiness Scale-Revised (MHS-R). Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that PERMA and mature happiness were highly correlated, but nonetheless, they represented two separate factors. After controlling for demographic factors and country-level variables, both PERMA Well-being and MHS-R were negative predictors of psychological distress. Mature happiness was a better predictor of stress, anxiety, and general distress, while PERMA showed a higher prediction of depression. Mature happiness moderated the relation between the perceived noxious effects of the pandemic and all markers of distress (depression, anxiety, stress, and total DASS-21). Instead, PERMA acted as a moderator in the case of depression and stress. These findings indicate that inner harmony, according to the mature happiness theory, is an essential facet of well-being to be taken into consideration. The results of this study can also orient policies aimed to alleviate the negative effects of the pandemic on mental health through the promotion of well-being.Publicación Interferencia de la supresión directa y derivada en una tarea de alta demanda cognitiva. Un estudio preliminar(Asociación de Análisis del Comportamiento, AAC, 2012) Galera Barbero, Juan C.; Barbero Rubio, Adrián; Noelia Navarro-Gómez; Ruiz, Francisco J.; Eisenbeck, Nikolett; Luciano, Carmen; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6093-648X; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8863-1111; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4958-9277; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3401-8634The present study analyzes the transfer of the suppression function and its interference effect on a high cognitive demand task. Twelve participants were randomly assigned to the control and experimental conditions. In Phase 1, participants completed the questionnaires AAQ-II (Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II) and WBSI (White Bear Suppression Inventory), and were exposed to a working memory task (TM-I) in which an abstract stimulus (B1), irrelevant for the task, appeared in several occasions. In Phase 2, experimental participants were instructed and trained in suppressing the thoughts related to B1. Control participants carried out the same task but without receiving the suppression instruction. Then, all participants were exposed to an aloud verbalization task and to the second memory task (TM-II). In Phase 3, all participants were trained and tested for the formation of two 4-member equivalence classes (Class 1: A1-B1-C1-D1; Class 2: A2-B2-C2-D2). In Phase 4, the test for transfer of functions, a second period of aloud verbalizations and the third memory task (TM-III; C1 stimulus appeared in this case) were carried out. Four of the 7 experimental participants showed the transfer of the suppression function. Unlike control participants, experimental participants did not significantly increase their performance along the three working memory tasks.Publicación Meaning-centered coping in the era of COVID-19: direct and moderating effects on depression, anxiety, and stress(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-17) Eisenbeck, Nikolett; Carreño, David F.; Pérez Escobar, José Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0688-6485; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3728-6896The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected most of the world’s population to unprecedented situations, like national lockdowns, health hazards, social isolation and economic harm. Such a scenario calls for urgent measures not only to palliate it but also, to better cope with it. According to existential positive psychology, well-being does not simply represent a lack of stress and negative emotions but highlights their importance by incorporating an adaptive relationship with them. Thus, suffering can be mitigated (and transformed into growth) by, among other factors, adopting an attitude of positive reframing, maintaining hope, existential courage, life appreciation, engagement in meaningful activities, and prosociality. The conglomerate of these elements has been recently denominated as meaning-centered coping. In this study, we evaluated the protective role of this type of coping on mental health. A sample of 12,243 participants from 30 countries across all continents completed measures of Meaning-Centered Coping Scale (MCCS), depression, stress, anxiety and stressful COVID-19 related conditions they experienced. Results indicated that meaning-centered coping was strongly associated with diminished symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Moreover, it moderated various relationships between vulnerability factors and markers of psychological distress, especially in the case of depression. These findings call for attention to meaning-centered coping approaches in the context of hardship, such as the current COVID-19 health crisis. In these difficult times, decision-makers and health organizations may integrate these approaches into their guidelines.
