    Comparison of expressive writing after the terrorist attacks of September 11 th and March 11 th
    (Elsevier, 2009) Páez Rovira, Darío; Pennebaker, James; Fernández Sedano, Iciar
    Este estudio descriptivo de poblaciones mediante encuesta examina la escritura expresiva tras los atentados terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2001 y del 11 de marzo de 2004. Las narraciones de 325 estadounidenses y de 333 españoles fueron analizadas a través del programa lingüístico (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count – LIWC). El propósito de este artículo fue analizar, a través de la escritura expresiva, los pronombres, pensamientos, sentimientos y procesos sociales que se generan tras los atentados terroristas. Los análisis lingüísticos constataron que los españoles escribieron más sobre procesos sociales y que en sus textos reflejaron más pronombres de la segunda y tercera persona, mientras que los estadounidenses utilizaron más pronombres de la primera persona. Los análisis correlacionales indicaron que las emociones se vinculaban con los procesos cognitivos, corroborando la asociación entre los sentimientos y los pensamientos. Los resultados también mostraron que, entre ambas naciones, la dinámica del compartir socio-emocional y pensar sobre los atentados terroristas fue similar, para el periodo comprendido entre la 3ª y 8ª semana tras los atentados. Finalmente, se analizaron y discutieron las diferencias entre las culturas individualista y colectivista.

    Using Abstractness to Confront Challenges: How the Abstract Construal Level Increases People’s Willingness to Perform Desirable But Demanding Actions
    (American Psychological Association, 2019-09-19) Carrera, Pilar; Muñoz, Dolores; Caballero Gonzalez, Amparo; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5809-0940
    Previous research has shown that while considering future behavioral intentions, desirability is more salient in making decisions in an abstract mindset than in a concrete one. Based on this premise, we test whether behavioral intentions to engage in desirable but difficult actions are more likely in an abstract mindset than a concrete mindset. We experimentally manipulated (Studies 1 through 4 using cognitive primes) and measured as a personal disposition (Study 5 using the Behavioral Identification Form) the construal level to evaluate its influence on the willingness to perform challenges. The behaviors tested focused on self-benefits (Studies 4 and 5) and benefits to others (Studies 1 through 3 and 5). Studies 1 and 2 included only demanding behaviors, whereas Studies 3 through 5 included both difficult and easy conditions. In Studies 1 and 2, the participants were more motivated to attempt a difficult task when they were in an abstract mindset. In Studies 3 through 5, the participants in the abstract (compared to concrete) mindset reported a greater willingness and commitment to attempt desirable but demanding behaviors. Finally, in Study 5, the influence of the construal level on the global behavioral plan index (three behaviors) was moderated by feasibility.

    Independent and Interdependent Self-construals and Socio-cultural Factors in 29 Nations
    (Presses universitaires de Grenoble, 2005-04-18) Páez Rovira, Darío; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Calvo González, José Luis
    5 688 étudiants de 29 nations ont répondu à une version courte de l’échelle de Singelis sur le concept de soi indépendant – interdépendant. Une analyse factorielle transculturelle nous a permis de mettre en évidence quatre facteurs du concept de soi : loyauté groupale, interdépendance relationnelle, unicité et « bas contexte ». Une analyse factorielle confirmatoire multi-échantillons a confirmé la stabilité transculturelle de ces résultats ainsi qu’une structure comparable de six items de l’échelle pour l’interdépendance. L’interdépendance est en relation avec une moindre connaissance de la langue anglaise, une forte identification nationale, un bas statut social et un plus grand partage social des sentiments positifs. L’indépendance est associée à la connaissance de l’anglais et à un statut social élevé. Une analyse multivariable, contrôlant les reve- nus nationaux, l’identification nationale, la connaissance de l’anglais, le statut social familial des étudiants, le niveau d’éducation des parents et d’autres dimensions culturelles, montre que l’individualisme (les scores nationaux de Hofstede) est associé à une Unicité élevée et à une moindre loyauté groupale. L’autoconcept de « bas contexte » et l’interdépendance relationnelle ne sont pas liés à l’individualisme. L’unicité et la basse loyauté groupale sont plus typiques dans les cultures masculines et hiérarchiques. L’interdépendance relationnelle est associée aux cultures féminines et partiellement à l’individualisme.

    Sexisme, masculinité-féminité et facteurs culturels
    (Presses Universitaires de Grenoble, 2005) Moya, Miguel; Poeschl, Gabrielle; Glick, Peter; Páez Rovira, Darío; Fernández Sedano, Iciar
    Ce travail analyse la relation, sur le plan transculturel, entre l’idéologie de genre (ou sexisme) et la perception de soi en termes de masculinité/féminité, les dimensions culturelles proposées par Hofstede (individualisme-collecti- visme, masculinité-féminité, distance au pouvoir et réduction de l’incertitude), l’Indicateur de Développement Humain, et d’autres indices nationaux en relation avec la socialisation, les droits humains et les caractéristiques de la famille. Les niveaux de sexisme des 20 pays étudiés par Glick et collaborateurs (2000) et les indices de masculinité et de féminité des 29 pays étudiés par Fernández (2001) ont été utilisés, ainsi que les indices culturels mentionnés, qui ont été obtenus pour tous ces pays. Les résultats confirment la validité transculturelle de la conception de sexisme ambivalent (croyances qui justifient les inégalités entre hommes et femmes). Ils montrent sa relation avec un faible niveau de développement humain, de faibles scores en féminité (chez les hommes et chez les femmes), un plus grand collectivisme, une plus grande distance au pouvoir, un moindre respect des droits civils, un taux de fertilité plus élevé chez les femmes adultes, et une plus grande importance donnée à l’éducation aux valeurs des bonnes manières, de la religiosité et de l’obéissance.

    Abstractness leads people to base their behavioral intentions on desired attitudes
    (Elsevier, 2017) Carrera, Pilar; Caballero Gonzalez, Amparo; Muñoz, Dolores; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5809-0940
    People sometimes want attitudes that differ from the ones they currently possess. These desired attitudes appear to be psychologically meaningful, but little is known about the properties of these evaluations. Because desired attitudes are hypothetical constructs (i.e., attitudes that one does not yet possess) and are distant in time (i.e., attitudes one could have in the future), we argued, based on construal level theory, that they should be represented in a relatively abstract manner, and consequently, we examined the implications of this abstractness for the characteristics and impact of desired attitudes. Consistent with this, we demonstrate that people perceive desired attitudes as more invariant across time and context, that desired attitudes are less impacted by changes in low-level features related to the attitude object (Study 1a and 1b) and that desired attitudes have a greater impact on behavioral intentions when people are in an abstract rather than concrete mindset (Studies 2–3). Although we did not make specific predictions regarding actual attitudes, they better predicted behavioral intentions in the concrete mindset (Studies 2–3). This last result should be taken with caution, considering that the level of abstraction shown by actual attitudes in Study 1a was at or slightly above the midpoint of our abstraction index.

    Apego Seguro, Vínculos Parentales, Clima Familiar e Inteligencia Emocional: socialización, regulación y bienestar
    (Sociedad Española para el Estudio de la Ansiedad y el Estrés (SEAS), 2006) Páez Rovira, Darío; Campos, M.; Zubieta, Elena Mercedes; Casullo, María Martina; Fernández Sedano, Iciar
    En este artículo nos hemos propuesto revisar la teoría y datos que sugieren que un ape­go seguro se asocia a vínculos parentales cálidos, a cohesión y a expresividad familiar, que a su vez sirven de antecedentes de una alta Inteligencia Emocional (IE), así como de un estilo de afron­tamiento más adaptativo, vinculado al bienestar. Para ello presentamos los instrumentos de medida que tratan de evaluar la JE, el apego, la regulación y el bienestar. Las escalas se aplicaron en tres países (España, Chile y México) a un total de 357 estudiantes universitarios, que tenían una media de 22 años. En general, los resultados indican que las personas con un mayor bienestar informan de un bajo apego inseguro temeroso, recuerdan una relación más cálida, perciben una mayor expresi­vidad emocional en su familia y, además, presen­ tan una mayor claridad, regulación y verbaliza­ción de emociones, así como un buen rendimien­to, es decir, una mayor IE.

    Attachment insecurities, life satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction from a dyadic perspective: The role of positive and negative affect
    (Wiley, 2017-05-25) Shaver, Phillip R.; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Recio Saboya, Patricia
    he purpose of this research is to examine the association between attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance) and both subjective well-being (positive affect [PA] and negative affect [NA] and life satisfaction) and relationship satisfaction. There were 174 Spanish heterosexual couples with a mean length of relationship of 13.9 years who participated in the study. The hypotheses were tested according to the actor-partner interdependence model. We proposed a model in which PA and NA could mediate the association between attachment insecurities and life and relationship satisfaction. Results show that (1) actor effects are more frequent than partner effects; (2) anxious attachment tends to be related to NA and avoidant attachment to PA; (3) avoidance is more detrimental than anxiety for relationship satisfaction at individual and dyadic levels, and (4) there are some mediational effects of NA and PA in the association between attachment insecurities and life and relationship satisfaction.

    Prototypical Anger Components: A Multilevel Study
    (SAGE, 2014-02-25) Carrera, Pilar; Páez Rovira, Darío; Alonso Arbiol, Itziar; Campos, Miryam; Basabe, Nekane; Fernández Sedano, Iciar
    This study explored the effects of psychological and cultural variables on self-reported emotional prototypes of anger. Eight anger components were examined using a multilevel analysis. Competitiveness, interdependence, gender, instrumentality, and expressivity were entered as individual variables, and individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, and the Human Development Index (HDI) were entered as cultural variables. All highlight the importance of considering simultaneously the individual and social levels, with a view to gaining more in-depth knowledge of the emotions. Data were collected among 5,006 college students from 25 countries. Being female, instrumentality, HDI, and the interaction between country-level HDI competitiveness predicted internal processes and behavioral outcomes of anger prototypes. Expressivity, instrumentality, country-level masculinity, and the interaction between gender and country-level masculinity predicted self-control mechanisms of anger prototypes. It is concluded that salient differences in anger prototypes can be found at both individual and country level, and that interaction effects of HDI with individual variables are essential in understanding anger prototypes.

    Long-term partners’ relationship satisfaction and their perceptions of each other’s attachment insecurities
    (Wiley, 2016-03) Shaver, Phillip R.; Alonso Arbiol, Itziar; Molero Alonso, Fernando Jorge; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Recio Saboya, Patricia
    n this research, we examined actors’ and partners’ perceptions of each other’s attachment insecurities and the associations of these perceptions with relationship satisfaction. A sample of 148 heterosexual couples completed measures of self and partner attachment insecurities and relationship satisfaction. Results indicate that partners agree in their perceptions of their own and each other’s attachment insecurities (anxiety and avoidance). Based on the actor–partner interdependence model (APIM), we also found that both actors’ scores on avoidance and their perceptions of their partner’s degree of avoidanc are associated with lower relationship satisfaction. Finally, we found that the way an actor perceives his or her partner’s avoidance plays a mediational role in the association between partner’s self-reported avoidance and actor’s relationship satisfaction.

    Psychosocial factors, perceived risk and driving in a hostile environment: driving through tunnels
    (2008-02-22) Arias Orduña, Ana V.; Mayordomo López, Sonia; Martínez Rubio, José Luis; Fernández Sedano, Iciar; Magallares Sanjuan, Alejandro
    A large part of the research on risk in driving has been related to the consumption of alcohol and other substances. However, few studies have analysed risk behaviour in relation to road infrastructure. It took the dramatic accident in the Mont Blanc tunnel to highlight the lack of knowledge about the human factor involved in tunnel accidents and about the factors affecting emergency situations in such settings. This study compares drivers’ perceptions and emotions in relation to driving in tunnels with those provoked by driving on normal roads in the open-air. Furthermore, we explore the factors relevant to risk perception and risk behaviour in tunnels. A total of 458 drivers from Madrid (Spain) responded to a questionnaire on these aspects. The results indicate that tunnels provoke unpleasant feelings and greater perception of risk than roads open to the sky. In spite of these feelings and perceptions, participants drive riskily in tunnels. In this study, we analyse the factors related to perception of risk and driving in tunnels.
