En este estudio se analizan las relaciones entre la felicidad, la depresión y la creencia en la benevolencia humana en un grupo de adultos mayores que se encuentran institucionalizados (24) y en otro grupo que vive con su familia (38). Se utilizó la Escala de Felicidad de Lima (EFL), la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica de Yesavage y la Escala de Creencia en la Benevolencia Humana. Se halló que no hay diferencias significativas en los niveles de depresión de ambos grupos de adultos mayores, siendo sus puntuaciones muy bajas, pero sí hubo diferencias significativas en felicidad y en los factores de sentido positivo de la vida y satisfacción con la vida a favor de los adultos mayores que viven con sus familias. También se encontraron relaciones negativas entre la creencia en la benevolencia humana y la depresión para el grupo de adultos mayores no institucionalizados, así como rela...

This correlational and comparative study aims to determine the relationship between the perception of the relationship with parents and coping strategies in a sample of 320 students chosen through a non-probabilistic sampling of 156 men (48.75%) and 164 women (51.25%). To that end, information gathering instruments like the Children’s Report of Parental Behavior Inventory and Adolescent Coping Scale were used. The results suggest that there are statistically significant correlations between some dimensions of perception of the relationship with parents and coping strategies in the sample studied. Finally, with regard to the perception of parenting styles of both mother and father, we see no significant differences between men and women, except for the extreme autonomy of the father, in which men score higher than women. There were no some statistically significant differences in the an...

The article describes the psychometric analysis of the APGAR Scale developed by Smilkstein (1978), consisting of five Likert items with five alternatives, which evaluates the perception of family functioning (Gómez & Ponce, 2010). The scale was administered to 256 male students aged from 11 to 18 attending state school in Lima. Item-test correlation analysis provided evidence of highly significant relations (p<0.001) for each of the reagents, indicating that reagents evaluate indicators of the same construct. To assess the perception of family functioning, APGAR Scale has moderate internal consistency (Cronbach a = .788). Construct validity was established by factor analysis and a single factor was obtained through a principal component analysis and the orthogonal rotation (Varimax).
