Objective. To know the differences in alexithymia and aggression between male and female adolescents in the fourth and fifth year of high school education. Methods. Level of descriptive-comparative research, type of basic research, transversal design. We worked with a sample of 374 high school students, considering the non-probabilistic sampling of census type that selected 173 men and with probabilistic sampling of stratified type were considered 201 women. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (T.A.S.-20) and the Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire were used as instruments for data collection. Likewise, the difference in proportions was used for data analysis. Results. When comparing the differences with alexithymia, according to the gender of the students, a P value = 0.530 was obtained, this being greater than 0.05; so the null hypothesis is accepted and it is stated that there are no signif...

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led to the transition to remote work, triggering variations in stress and physical activity (PA), associated with context-specific instability. Objective: To identify the association between perceived stress (PS) and the level of physical activity (PA) and explore its relationship with the sociodemographic, family, work and individual characteristics of professors working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: Cross-sectional analytical study based on a virtual survey of professors. PS was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), and PA using an International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The prevalence of high PS and the association with PA were estimated using a Poisson regression analysis with robust variance that estimated crude prevalence ratios (cPR) and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) with a 95% confidence in...
