La evocación de recuerdos autobiográficos se caracteriza por presentar distintos compo­ nentes fenomenológicos. Dada la ausencia de trabajos previos realizados en poblaciones hispanoparlantes, se realizaron 34 entrevistas en profundidad a individuos con y sin tras­ torno depresivo mayor de la ciudad de Buenos Aires (Argentina). Fueron explorados los componentes fenomenológicos presentes en la evocación de recuerdos autobiográficos significativos. Los datos fueron analizados cualitativamente por medio de la Teoría Fun­ damentada en los Hechos. Durante el análisis descriptivo, se detectaron siete categorías fenomenológicas emergentes del discurso. Del análisis axial y selectivo fueron identificados dos ejes discursivos: retórico-proposicional y especificidad-generalidad. Las implicancias, en la regulación afectiva, derivadas de la asunción de un estilo amodal o multimodal ...

Autobiographical memory retrieval implies different phenomenological features. Given the lack of previous work in Hispanic-speaking populations, 34 in depth interview were carried out in individuals with and without Major Depressive Disorder in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Phenomenological components during the evocation of autobiographical memories were explored. Data was qualitatively analyzed using Grounded Theory. During the descriptive analyses, seven phenomenological categories were detected as emerging from the discourse. The axial and selective analyses revealed two main discursive axles areas; rhetoric-propo­ sitional and specificity- generalized. The impact on affective regulation processes, derived from the assumption of an amodal or multimodal style of processing autobiographical infor­ mation, merits further attention.

El estudio propone explorar un modelo de variables culturales predictoras de la efectividad de la toma de decisiones en ambientes cuya cultura difiere a la propia de los decisores. Se seleccionó una muestra no probabilística intencional integrada por 130 cascos azules argentinos. Los participantes respondieron a una tarea experimental de toma de decisiones en situaciones de alta o baja saturación de elementos culturales propias de la República de Haití (lugar donde participarían de una misión de paz bajo el mandato de la ONU durante el posterior semestre), y a la Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS; Ang et al., 2007; adaptación Depaula, 2010). Un análisis de regresión lineal por pasos indicó que un 19.4% de la varianza en la efectividad de las decisiones tomadas por los cascos azules depende de las conductas culturales (verbales y no-verbales) que ellos despliegan y del nivel de ...

The aim of this study was to analyze if relations among cultural intelligence levels, motivation to academic learning and human values on the working area in a sample of 400 argentine military students, cadets becoming officials on Argentine Army (377 men and 23 women), originating of diverse argentine provinces. Bivaried analyses of correlation through coefficient r of Pearson were made. Results show that students present tie values to the care of the national traditions, and at the same time the value “stimulation” is associated to the creative resolution of new experiences on uncertain situations, balancing their autorestriction that would limit the opening towards cultural diversity.

The study proposes to explore a model of cultural variables predictive of the effectiveness of decision making in environments whose culture differs from that of decision makers. An intentional non-probabilistic sample was composed of 130 peacekeepers. Participants responded to an experimental decision-making task in situations of high or low saturation of cultural elements typical of the Republic of Haiti (where they would participate in a peace mission under the UN mandate during the subsequent semester), and completed the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS; Ang et al., 2007; Depaula adaptation, 2010). A linear stepwise regression analysis indicated that 19.4% of the variance in the effectiveness of decisions made by peacekeepers depends on the cultural behaviors (verbal and non-verbal) that they display and the level of cultural saturation of situations.

Results obtained from a literature review of scientific articles related to job satisfaction published between the years 2000 and 2010, are presented. Findings of research studies analyzed indicate the relationship between leadership, some aspects of the supervision, groups, teams and its influence on job satisfaction. The revised bibliography noted mainly the positive relationship between transformational leadership and the SWA model of supervision on job satisfaction. Also the importance of the influence of certain aspects such as the efficacy group, group cohesion and the need to share values for group work be more satisfying than individual work.

Se llevó adelante un estudio experimental en una muestra de 44 sujetos adultos para probar los efectos de la amplitud de la memoria de trabajo (AMT) y de la carga de interferencia proactiva (IP), sobre los niveles de ansiedad experimentados y la capacidad para inhibir esquemas implícitos. Para tal fin se diseñó el instrumento ESTRELLA, una versión digitalizada con tecnología Arduino de la prueba de dibujo en espejo utilizada para medir memoria procedimental por Brenda Milner (Ferreres, 2016; Fraisse, 1954; Milner et al., 1998; Pinel, 2001), también utilizada para medir el potencial de aprendizaje de praxias motoras (Piñeyro, 2015). Se midió el efecto que tuvo el nivel de sorpresa experimentado durante la realización de la tarea sobre la capacidad de inhibición de esquemas procedimentales implícitos desajustados que interfieren durante la tarea. Los resultados indican que la A...

Se presenta los resultados obtenidos de una revisión bibliográfica de artículos científicos relacionados con la satisfacción laboral publicados entre los años 2000 y 2010. En el mismo se presentan las conclusiones de distintas investigaciones que señalan la relación entre el liderazgo, algunos aspectos de la supervisión, los grupos y equipos de trabajo, y su influencia sobre la Satisfacción Laboral. La literatura revisada señala principalmente una relación posi-tiva entre el liderazgo transformacional y el modelo de supervisión SWA con la satisfacción laboral. También la importancia de la influencia de ciertos aspectos grupales como la efica-cia, la cohesión grupal y la necesidad de compartir valores para que el trabajo grupal sea más satisfactorio que el trabajo individual.

Background: the five-factor model represents one of the most widely used approaches to the study of personality from a psychological perspective. Although many instruments have been relied upon for its evaluation, the Mini International Personality Item Pool (Donnellan et al., 2006) is one of the main tools highlighted in the literature. Objective: for this reason, the purpose of the present study is to adapt and validate such instrument in a non-probability sample composed of university students in Buenos Aires (N = 2460). Results: a confirmatory factor analysis indicates a good fit to the data of the model relayed by the authors, so it can be recommended to be administered in the local context. Conclusion: it is suggested that future works explore their properties in different populations. Contribution of authorship HS: design and design of the studio, interpretation of the data and fi...

El presente estudio buscó analizar si existen diferencias en rescatistas con más o menos experiencia, en sus dimensiones de personalidad según el modelo del Big Five o Modelo de los Cinco Grandes. Se trabajó con una muestra de 246 rescatistas. El promedio de edad fue de 31,40 años (DT = 10.44). 136 rescatistas eran novatos, y 110 rescatistas tenían experiencia en situaciones de emergencia (Maños de experiencia = 9,84; DT = 6.77). Se utilizó una adaptación del instrumento Big Five Inventory. Los rescatistas novatos reportaron una mayor tendencia a la experimentación de sus emociones negativas con mayor intensidad e inestabilidad en comparación con los experimentados. Estos resultados proveen evidencia acerca de la importancia de desarrollar una personalidad resistente para los rescatistas experimentados donde la estabilidad emocional juegue un papel determinante.

Lay epistemic theory has offered several contributions to the field of both epistemology and social cognition. This theory offers an epistemic framework, which is influenced by both cognitive and motivational factors. Within the motivational factors are the concepts of openness to new experiences and imperviousness to alternative explanations, which are encompassed by Webster and Kruglanski in the construct of need for cognitive closure. This construct explains both the motivational aspects of decision making and the interface between the cognitive and motivational properties of the individual in the process of acquiring knowledge and beliefs. In addition, the lay epistemic approach also encompasses the study of attributional processes and the effects of social interactions on epistemic activities. The purpose of this paper is the theoretical analysis of the lay epistemic model and its i...

Existen diferentes técnicas para evaluar los niveles de estrés y ansiedad que una persona puede experimentar en un momento determinado (Olivares Rodríguez & Mendez Carrillo, 1997; Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 2008). Sin embargo, son escasos o inexistentes los instrumentos que evalúanel estado de perturbación emocional (Shapiro, 2004) provocado por el recuerdo de una vivenciaestresante, que cuenten con una adecuada validez y confiablidad. En el presente estudio se buscaestablecer las propiedades psicométricas de la técnica “Autopercepción del Estado Emocional”(Piñeyro & Azzollini, 2016; Piñeyro, 2018), la cual evalúa el impacto emocional generado por elrecuerdo específico de una vivencia estresante reciente.
