Item A psychometric study of a Spanish version of the negative acts questionnaire-revised: confirmatory factor analysis.(Frontiers in Psychology, 2020) Dujo López, Víctor; González Trijueque, David; Graña Gómez, José L.; Andreu Rodríguez, José M.Background: The NAQ (Negative Acts Questionnaire) has been widely used in more than 40 countries to measure the mobbing phenomenon. This research aims to present a psychometric study based on the Spanish version of the NAQ-R carried out by González-Trijueque and Graña (2013). As opposed to the original scale, this sample contains 23 items and a three-dimension model (personal bullying, work-related bullying, and physically intimidating forms of bullying). Methods: We used a heterogeneous occupational sample of 2,538 Spanish employees to analyze internal consistency and concurrent validity. In addition, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out based on the GLS (generalized least squares) method. Results: Results showed high internal reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.91) and high correlations containing clinical symptoms, burn-out indicators, and coping resources. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis developed upon the heterogeneous occupational sample validates the three-dimension structure in the Spanish version of the NAQ-R aimed to measure harassment behaviors at the workplace. Conclusion: The NAQ-R reaffirms its validity and reliability as a measure for mobbing-related behaviors. Hence, the scale may become a useful tool in research and forensic practice.Item A Teaching Innovation Project on Writing Critical Essays in a History of Psychology Course.(Teaching of Psychology, 2021) Granado Peinado, Miriam; Huertas, Juan AntonioBackground Since its integration into the European Higher Education Area, the Spanish educational system has evolved, introducing innovations into university teaching methodologies. This new approach entails the development of capacities, competencies, and skills that enable students to develop their critical thinking. Objective This work aims to present an innovation project conducted in a History of Psychology course, part of the Degree in Psychology in the Spanish university system. Method The current study was launched to evaluate the effectiveness of the Teaching Innovation Project, which itself arose from the need for students to improve their critical essay writing skills, incorporating such evidence-based methodologies as explicit instructions, online platforms, collaborative peer work, and rubrics. Results A comparison of outcomes among three cohorts showed a marked improvement in student performance on critical essays and final exam scores after implementing new methodologies. Conclusion It is possible to improve students’ critical essay writing skills in the context of the History of Psychology through the intentional implementation of evidence-based practices, changing the pedagogical focus from teacher-centered to student-centered. Teaching implications Psychology instructors who teach courses with writing skill development as a course goal could consider incorporating elements of the Teaching Innovation Project program.Item Análisis del uso y funciones del silencio en la comunicación de los profesionales sanitarios en una unidad de oncología pediátrica.(Psicooncología, 2021) Bengoechea Menéndez, Camino; Molinero Caparrós, Clara; Velasco, Cristina; López Ibor, BlancaExisten diferentes tipos de silencio, con múltiples funciones, y cada uno puede provocar efectos diversos en la comunicación. En el ámbito sanitario una comunicación eficaz es fundamental para lograr que los pacientes comprendan lo que les sucede y se expresen con claridad y confianza ante los profesionales sanitarios. El silencio juega un papel clave en esta comunicación. Objetivo: Desarrollar un instrumento para conocer la importancia que tiene el silencio para los profesionales sanitarios y analizar de qué manera emplean el silencio en su comunicación con los pacientes. Métodos: En el estudio han participado 43 profesionales del ámbito de la Oncología Pediátrica. Este estudio propone una clasificación de los tipos de silencio en la comunicación sanitaria. Resultados: El silencio es heterogéneo y cumple diferentes funciones. Se comprueba que los profesionales sanitarios emplean distintos tipos de silencio, siendo los Silencios Neutros los más utilizados, a continuación, los Silencios Productivos y los menos empleados los Silencios Obstructivos. Aquel que más se usa es el que favorece la atención, el acompañamiento, la reflexión y la expresión, mientras que el silencio de poder y el de desconexión son los menos empleados. Conclusión: El instrumento de evaluación propuesto (Q-SPS) ha presentado buenos niveles de consistencia interna para esta muestra permitiendo establecer un perfil comparativo entre el uso del silencio por parte de los distintos profesionales del ámbito de la salud por lo que podría valorarse una investigación más exhaustiva con mayor volumen de participantes.Item Assessing self-forgiveness through the Enright Self-Forgiveness Inventory in the Spanish population: a validation study.(Frontiers in Psychology, 2023) Molinero Caparrós, Clara; Kasprzak, Agata; Bonete Román, Saray; Gallo Giunzioni, KarlaIntroduction: Self-forgiveness has been a complex construct to define, which has resulted in a shortage of instruments that adequately measure it as a process. In Spain, until now there is only one validated instrument to measure self-forgiveness, for this reason the present study aims to validate the Enright Self-Forgiveness Inventory (ESFI). Method: A sample of 276 people (84 men, 192 women) aged from 18 to 25 years, completed the Enright Self-Forgiveness Inventory (ESFI) after its adaptation to Spanish, as well as the Enright Forgiveness Inventory-30 (EFI-30), the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), the Short form of Social Desirability Scale (M-C SDS), the Scale of psychological wellbeing (RYFF) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Results: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed a good fit for the original six-factors structure (CFI = 0.93, TLI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.063). The results showed good psychometric qualities (both validity and reliability) and association between self-forgiveness and social desirability, depression, anxiety, narcissistic traits, and purpose in life as expected theoretically. Discussion: The ESFI-30 shows good psychometric properties within the Spanish context and is an appropriate instrument for evaluating self-forgiveness for research and clinical intervention.Item Attitude change as a function of the number of words in which thoughts are expressed.(Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2018) Gandarillas Gutiérrez, Beatriz; Briñol, Pablo; Petty, Richard E.; Díaz, DaríoThis research examines whether varying the number of words in which thoughts are expressed can influence subsequent evaluations. Across six studies, keeping the number of thoughts constant, we tested to what extent the length of the thoughts, the personal importance of the topic, and the extent of practice in short versus long thought expression influenced attitude change. In the first two studies, expressing thoughts in one word (vs. many words) led to less thought use when the topic was high in importance (Experiment 1) but to more thought use when topic was low in importance (Experiment 2). In a third study, the number of words used was manipulated along with the perceived importance of the experimental task. As predicted, expressing thoughts was perceived to be easier with one vs. many words when the task was low in importance but the opposite held when it was high in importance. In Experiment 4, attitudes were more influenced by thoughts when one word was used in a task that was framed to low importance task but many words were used on the task framed with high importance. Experiment 5 included a direct manipulation of ease and extended these results from a motivational framework to an ability setting by using a paradigm in which familiarity (based on prior training) interacted with thought length to affect attitudes. A final study replicated the key effect with more real-world materials, and extended the contribution from an experimental approach to testing process to a measurement approach to mediation.Item Building Resilience with Aerobic Exercise: Role of FKBP5.(Current Neuropharmacology, 2021) Sampedro Piquero, P.; Moreno Fernández, Román DaríoBoth preclinical and clinical studies have pointed that aerobic exercise, at moderate doses, is beneficial at all stages of life by promoting a range of physiological and neuroplastic adaptations that reduce the anxiety response. Previous research about this topic have repeatedly described how the regular practice of aerobic exercise induces a positive regulation of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis-related genes, as well as a better control of the HPA axis function. However, limited progress has been carried out in the integration of neuroendocrine and neuroplastic changes, as well as in introducing new factors to understand how aerobic exercise can promote resilience to future stressful conditions. Resilience is defined as the ability to adapt to stress while maintaining healthy mental and physical performance. Consistent findings point to an important role of FKBP5, the gene expressing FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51), as a strong inhibitor of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and thus, an important regulator of the stress response. We propose that aerobic exercise could contribute to modulate FKBP5 activity acting as a potential therapeutic approach for mood disorders. In this sense, aerobic exercise is well known for increasing the growth factor BDNF, which by downstream pathways could affect the FKBP5 activity. Therefore, our manuscript has the aim of analyzing how FKBP5 could constitute a promising target of aerobic exercise promoting resilient-related phenotypes.Item CBT and positive psychology interventions for clinical depression promote healthy attentional biases: an eye-tracking study.(Depression and Anxiety, 2018) Vázquez, Carmelo; Duque, Almudena; Blanco, Iván; Pascual, Teodoro; Poyato, Natalia; López Gómez, Irene; Chaves Vélez, CovadongaBackground: Although there is a growing interest in the role of attentional biases in depression, there are no studies assessing changes in these biases after psychotherapeutic interventions. Methods: We used a validated eye-tracking procedure to assess pre–post therapy changes in attentional biases toward emotional information (i.e., happy, sad, and angry faces) when presented with neutral information (i.e., neutral faces). The sample consisted of 75 participants with major depression or dysthymia. Participants were blindly assigned to one of two 10 weekly sessions of group therapy: a cognitive behavior therapy intervention (N = 41) and a positive psychology intervention (N = 34). Results: Both treatments were equally efficacious in improving depressive symptoms (p = .0001, 𝜂�2 = .68). A significant change in attentional performance after therapy was observed irrespective of the intervention modality. Comparison of pre–post attentional measures revealed a significant reduction in the total time of fixations (TTF) looking at negative information (i.e., sad and angry faces) and a significant increase in the TTF looking at positive information (i.e., happy faces)—all p < .02. Conclusions: Findings reveal for the first time that psychotherapeutic interventions are associated with a significant change in attentional biases as assessed by a direct measure of attention. Furthermore, these changes seem to operate in the same direction typically found in healthy populations (i.e., a bias away from negative information and a parallel bias toward positive information). These findings illustrate the importance of considering attentional biases as clinical markers of depression and suggest the viability of modifying these biases as a potential tool for clinical change.Item Cinco cuestiones esenciales para acompañar en el sufrimiento.(Psicooncología, 2020) Coca Pereira, Cristina; Denizon Arranz, Sophia; Moreno Milán, Beatriz; Pérez Viejo, Jesús Manuel; Arranz Carrillo de Albornoz, Pilar; García Llana, HelenaEl sufrimiento aparece de manera natural y espontánea cuando no tenemos recursos para hacer frente a una situación que se convierte en una amenaza. Acompañar el sufrimiento no es tarea fácil y requiere destrezas, habilidades y conocimientos, así como desarrollo personal. Identificar y abordar el sufrimiento es una de las principales funciones de la práctica clínica. Poder identificar cómo esta experiencia afecta a los profesionales sanitarios, así como generar estrategias para hacerle frente podría protegernos y facilitar el ejercicio de la ayuda. Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal realizar una revisión teórica, acompañada de claves prácticas, para presentar cinco cuestiones previas que configuran un conocimiento esencial para el acompañamiento. Se pretende estimular la reflexión y el aprendizaje de habilidades que nos permitan desarrollar nuestras acciones desde la consciencia y en coherencia con nuestros valores y objetivos.Item Cognitive versus emotional modulation within a Stroop paradigm in patients with schizophrenia.(BJPsych Open, 2023) Romero-Ferreiro, Verónica; García-Gutiérrez, Ana; Torio, Iosune; Marí Beffa, Paloma; Rodríguez-Gómez, Pablo; Periáñez, José A.; Moreno, Eva M.; Romero Ferreiro, Carmen; Alvarez-Mon, Miguel Ángel; Rodríguez Jiménez, RobertoBackground Schizophrenia is a complex disorder involving deficits in both cognitive and emotional processes. Specifically, a marked deficit in cognitive control has been found, which seems to increase when dealing with emotional information. Aims With the aim of exploring the possible common links behind cognitive and emotional deficits, two versions of the emotional Stroop task were administered. Method In the cognitive-emotional task, participants had to name the ink colour (while ignoring the meaning) of emotional words. In contrast, the emotional-emotional task consisted of emotional words superimposed on emotional faces, and the participants had to indicate the emotional valence of the faces. Fifty-eight participants (29 in-patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and 29 controls) took part in the study. Results Patients and controls showed similar response times in the cognitive-emotional task; however, patients were significantly slower than controls in the emotional-emotional task. This result supports the idea that patients show a more pronounced impairment in conflict modulation with emotional content. Besides, no significant correlations between the tasks and positive or negative symptoms were found. This would indicate that deficits are relatively independent of the clinical status of patients. However, a significant correlation between the emotional-emotional task and cognitive symptoms was found. Conclusions These findings suggest a restricted capacity of patients with schizophrenia to deal with the attentional demands arising from emotional stimuli.Item Comparing the acceptability of a positive psychology intervention versus a cognitive-behavioral therapy for clinical depression.(Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy, 2017) López Gómez, Irene; Chaves Vélez, Covadonga; Hervás, Gonzalo; Vázquez, CarmeloThere is growing evidence on the efficacy of positive psychology interventions (PPI) to treat clinical disorders. However, very few studies have addressed their acceptability. The present study aimed to analyze two key components of acceptability (i.e., client satisfaction and adherence to treatment) of a new PPI programme, the Integrative Positive Psychological Intervention for Depression (IPPI-D), in comparison to a standard CBT programme in the treatment of clinical depression. One hundred twenty-eight women with a DSM-IV diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia were allocated to a 10-session IPPI-D or CBT group intervention condition. Results showed that both interventions were highly acceptable for participants. Attendance rates were high and there were no significant differences between conditions. However, the IPPI-D condition showed significantly higher client satisfaction than the CBT condition. Moreover, acceptability did not differ based on participants’ severity of symptoms, regardless of condition. These findings encourage further investigations of the applicability of PPI in clinical settings in order to broaden the range of acceptable and suitable therapies for depressed patients.Item Conciencia de estigma y calidad de vida en personas con discapacidad física y sensorial.(International Journal of Social Psychology, 2013) Carrasco, Luis-Francisco; Martín Sanz, Noemy; Molero, FernandoEl hecho de pertenecer a un grupo estigmatizado afecta al bienestar y a la calidad de vida de sus miembros. Sin embargo, se desconoce el papel que tiene en el bienestar la conciencia de pertenecer a un grupo estigmatizado. Además, entre los distintos grupos estudiados apenas existe información sobre el colectivo de personas con discapacidad, a pesar de ser un grupo minoritario que sufre también los prejuicios de la sociedad. El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar las relaciones entre la conciencia de estigma y la calidad de vida en un grupo de discapacitados españoles, y cuáles son las variables que determinan dicha relación. Han participado un total de 201 personas, 90 con discapacidad sensorial, 102 con discapacidad física y 9 con otros tipos de discapacidad. Los resultados muestran una relación negativa entre la conciencia de estigma y la calidad de vida, encontrando diferencias en función del sexo, del tipo de discapacidady de la razón de la discapacidad.Item Creatividad en Educación Superior: estudio exploratorio con Función Ejecutiva y Rendimiento Académico.(Profesorado: revista de currículum y formación del profesorado, 2021) Bernabeu Brotons, Elena; De la Peña Álvarez, CristinaLa creatividad debe ser una de las competencias a desarrollar en la universidad porque promueve la empleabilidad del alumnado universitario. En los últimos años, se evidencia la relevancia de la función ejecutiva en el proceso creativo. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la relación entre creatividad, flexibilidad cognitiva, fluidez verbal y rendimiento académico en población universitaria. Se empleó una muestra de 105 estudiantes universitarios del primer curso del Grado de Psicología de la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, de ambos sexos (84 mujeres y 21 hombres) con una edad media de 19.05 años (DT= 1.81). Se administraron el PIC-A para valorar creatividad, el CAMBIOS para evaluar flexibilidad cognitiva, una prueba de generación de palabras para medir fluidez verbal y se consideró la nota media del primer cuatrimestre como medida del rendimiento académico. El análisis correlacional y de regresión confirma la existencia de una relación significativa positiva entre creatividad gráfica y flexibilidad cognitiva y entre creatividad narrativa y general y la fluidez verbal fonológica. No se hallaron relaciones significativas en relación al rendimiento académico. Consecuentemente, los resultados obtenidos permiten diseñar programas que impulsen un cambio de paradigma en el ámbito universitario optimizando las capacidades creativas.Item Decision Making and Risk Propensity in Individuals with Tendencies towards Specific Internet-Use Disorders.(Brain Sciences, 2021) Müller, Silke M.; Wegmann, Elisa; García Arias, María; Bernabeu Brotons, Elena; Marchena Giráldez, Carlos Alberto; Brand, MatthiasThe uncontrolled use of specific Internet applications is increasingly recognized as a mental health issue. Gaming disorder, which is one subtype of specific Internet-use disorders (sIUDs), has been included in the ICD-11 as disorder due to addictive behaviors. Addictive disorders are assumed to be accompanied by cognitive deficits as indicated by weaker performance in executive function and risky decision-making tasks. This study investigates risky decision-making in individuals with tendencies towards sIUDs including gaming, online buying-shopping, and social-networksuse disorders. A total of 293 individuals participated in the study. Based on specific screening instruments, the participants were assigned to a group with tendencies towards sIUD or a control group. Participants completed a risky decision-making task and questionnaires assessing risk-taking propensity, impulsivity, psychopathology, and perceived stress. The group with sIUD tendencies showed higher attentional impulsivity and higher levels of depression and anxiety compared to the control group. The groups did not differ in decision making and risk propensity. Decision making did not have significant effects on sIUD symptoms. Risk for developing sIUDs does not appear to be accompanied by altered general decision-making tendencies. Rather, psychological (pre-)load and attentional deficits appear to be relevant features in uncontrolled use of the Internet.Item Decision Support in Patients with mild Alzheimer’s Disease.(Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2019) Mueller, Silke M.; García Arias, María; Mejuto Vázquez, Gema; Schiebenera, Johannes; Brand, Matthias; Wegmanna, ElisaIntroduction: Making advantageous decisions is a key competence of individuals of all ages. However, previous studies reported a reduction of this competence in patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, which is explained by impairments of executive functions such as cognitive flexibility or working memory. While previous findings from healthy participants with reduced executive functions showed that support can improve decision making under risk, the study at hand aimed to investigate this effect in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (mAD). Method: A group of elderly individuals diagnosed with mAD (n = 14; mean Mini-Mental State Examination, MMSE = 24.14, SD = 3.18) and a group of healthy age-matched controls (n = 14; mean MMSE = 29.29, SD = 1.98) performed the Game of Dice Task (GDT) three times (t0, t1, t2) with intervals of five to nine days between each: The standard GDT plus other neurocognitive tasks (t0), the GDT with decision support (t1), and again the standard GDT (t2). Results: At any time, mAD patients made more disadvantageous decisions than controls. However, the decision-making performance of mAD patients improved significantly with decision support. Interestingly, when the standard GDT was played again (t2), mAD patients’ performance remained similar to the performance in the GDT with decision support (t1). GDT performance correlated consistently with executive function measures in the control group, but only at t0 in the mAD group. Conclusions: The findings indicate that supportive information about the riskiness of options can compensate for mAD-related deficits in decision making under risk. Thus, decision support can improve the quality of mAD patients’ decisions. Further, it may prevent mAD patients from making highly risky decisions in similar situations in the future. The persistence of decision support should be further investigated as it has relevant implications for everyday decisions that include risks.Item Deficits in executive functions but not in decision making under risk in individuals with problematic social-network use.(Comprehensive Psychiatry, 2021) Müller, Silke M.; Wegmann, Elisa; García Arias, María; Bernabeu Brotons, Elena; Marchena Giráldez, Carlos Alberto; Brand, MatthiasBackground: The tendency to strive for immediate gratification by neglecting potential negative long-term outcomes characterizes addictive behaviors, such as substance use or gaming disorder. Problematic socialnetwork use is currently discussed as another potential addictive behavior, which is considered to result from an imbalance between affective and cognitive processes, indicated by traits such as increased impulsivity and/ or decreased executive functions and decision-making abilities. Methods: This study investigates the respective functions in social-network users by use of the Cards and Lottery Task (CLT) – a decision-making task under risk conditions in which options contain conflicting immediate and long-term outcomes at the same time. A sample of German and Spanish participants (N = 290) performed the CLT aswell as the Modified Card Sorting Test (MCST), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), the short Internet Addiction Test specified for social-networking (sIAT-SNS), and screeners on other potentially problematic behaviors. Results: Comparing extreme groups based on sIAT-SNS scores (1SD above/below mean), individuals with problematic social-network use (n = 56), as compared to those with non-problematic social-network use (n = 50), showed increased attentional impulsivity and reduced executive functions. No differences were observed in decision-making performance. Conclusion: The findings indicate that problematic social-network use is related to attentional rather than general decision-making deficits. Furthermore, problematic social-network use is likely to co-occurwith other problematic Internet-use behaviors, particularly gaming or shopping.Item Detección de necesidad en personas con discapacidad intelectual y/o del desarrollo con problemas de conducta: un estudio cualitativo.(Siglo cero, 2022) Garrido Zurita, Adrián; Martín Sanz, Noemy; Galindo López, LauraA lo largo de estos años, la Planificación Centrada en la Persona (PCP) se ha encontrado con obstáculos que han impedido atender y cubrir algunas de las necesidades de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo con problemas de conducta tanto en el ambiente familiar, profesional y personal (PCDI/PC). Por este motivo surge el presente estudio, detectar las necesidades que tienen PCDI/PC y, a su vez, las necesidades de los profesionales y familiares que afectan en la atención a las PCDI/PC mediante grupos de discusión con profesionales, familias y PCDI/PC que forman parte de Plena Inclusión Madrid. En total han participado 82 personas que se distribuyen en profesionales (sanitarios, educativos, laborales y sociales), familias y PCDI/PC y, en total, se han detectado 81 necesidades que afectan a estos tres grupos. Como conclusión, estas necesidades descubiertas están suponiendo un obstáculo para que la metodología PCP tenga efectividad en las PCDI/PC, por lo que sería interesante que en futuros trabajos se estudien dimensiones que ayuden a cubrirlas.Item Diferencias neuropsicológicas entre subtipos de deterioro cognitivo leve.(Revista Mexicana de Neurociencia, 2017) De la Peña Álvarez, Cristina; Parra Bolaños, Nicolás; Fernández Medina, Juliana; Bernabeu Brotons, ElenaIntroducción: En los últimos años, las investigaciones han centrado su interés en hallar el perfil neuropsicológico que distinga los distintos subtipos de DCL. Objetivo: El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la existencia de diferencias significativas en procesos neuropsicológicos como estado general de conciencia, atención, memoria, lenguaje, visopercepción y función ejecutiva entre dos subtipos de DCL (disejecutivo y multidominio). Métodos: Se seleccionó una muestra de 37 pacientes con DCL con edades entre 40 y 83 años pertenecientes a consultas privadas de Medellín, a los que se les administraron diferentes pruebas de valoración neuropsicológica. Resultados: Los resultados muestran la existencia de diferencias significativas entre los dos subtipos de DCL: los sujetos con un perfil de deterioro multidominio mostraron una peor ejecución en tareas visoperceptivas, de memoria verbal, de lenguaje y, contrariamente a lo esperado, de función ejecutiva. Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos son relevantes para la intervención neuropsicológica y prevención del deterioro.Item Dislexia y discalculia: una revisión sistemática actual desde la neurogenética.(Universitas Psychologica, 2018) De la Peña Álvarez, Cristina; Bernabeu Brotons, ElenaLos Trastornos Específicos del Aprendizaje constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de alteraciones frecuentes que pueden generar problemas importantes no solo durante la etapa escolar, sino a lo largo de toda la vida. Las dificultades persistentes en lectura (dislexia) y en matemáticas (discalculia) son, por su relevancia y prevalencia, los dos Trastornos de Aprendizaje más importantes en la práctica educativa y clínica. El objetivo del estudio es realizar una síntesis de los descubrimientos científicos de los últimos diez años sobre las bases neuroanatómicas y genéticas de la dislexia y la discalculia. Se realizó un análisis exhaustivo bibliográfico desde 2006 hasta enero de 2017 en inglés y español centrados en neuroimagen y genética de dislexia y discalculia mediante las bases de datos Medline, PsyInfo, Scopus, Web of Science y Dialnet. Se incluyeron 38 artículos de los cuales se extrajeronn las aportaciones desde la neuroimagen y la genética tanto para la dislexia como de discalculia. Estos datos facilitaron herramientas para orientar al contexto psicológico y educativo, a su vez proporcionando respuestas definitivas.Item Down-Town: Misterio en el metro. Un serious game dirigido a personas con síndrome de Down.(2015) Bonete Román, Saray; Ruano, Oscar; García Tejedor, Álvaro José; PsicologíaItem Effectiveness of Manualised Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).(Psicothema, 2016) Bonete Román, Saray; Molinero Caparrós, Clara; Mata, Sara; Calero, Mª Dolores; Gómez-Pérez, María del MarChildren with Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) frequently present a defi cit in interpersonal and social problem solving skills. The Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills Programme for Children (SCIChildren) comprises 10 weekly, one hour sessions working on interpersonal abilities from a mediation strategy for training purposes. Method: The fi rst study explores the effectiveness of training through pre- and post-treatment evaluations of a sample of 22 children with ASD (7-13 years of age). The second study replicates the programme with 15 children who were assessed three times (three months before the programme starts, at the beginning of the training and at the end of it). Results: In the fi rst study, signifi cant differences were found in outcome measures (a parent-report subscale of a socialisation measure and child performance on one subscale and total scores of an interpersonal problem-solving skills task). Results in the second study showed no signifi cant changes in absence of the treatment during the waiting period and signifi cant changes after the treatment in the socialisation measure. Conclusions: These fi ndings suggest that the SCI-Children program causes positive impact on the participants. Further evaluation is warranted.
