El objetivo de este estudio fue diseñar y validar una escala para la identificación de creencias estereotípicas hacia las personas indígenas, como un grupo estigmatizado socialmente, cul-turalmente relevante para muestras mexicanas, en estudiantes universitarios, estableciendo diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Participaron 564 estudiantes universitarios de Mérida, la capital, y del interior del estado de Yucatán, México. Fueron 272 mujeres y 292 hombres con una edad promedio de 23.05 años. Para medir las creencias estereotípicas hacia las personas indígenas se elaboró una escala conformada por 50 reactivos tipo likert. El análisis factorial arrojo 5 factores. Los resultados evidencian que la escala cuenta las características psicométricas adecuadas, en cuanto a confiabilidad y validez.

El presente estudio evaluó el efecto de las variables satisfacción con la vida, autopercepción de salud, apoyo social y estilos de enfrentamiento sobre el bienestar subjetivo. Se contó con una muestra de 122 adultos mayores mexicanos del Estado de Yucatán, en la ciudad de Mérida con un rango de edad de 60 a 93 años. Los resultados en mujeres muestran que los estilos de enfrentamiento son predictores del bienestar subjetivo en los afectos negativos. En cuanto a la dimensión cognitiva del bienestar subjetivo, la autopercepción de salud, los estilos de enfrentamiento y la satisfacción con la vida fueron predictores adecuados. En hombres, los resultados demuestran que la dimensión cognitiva del bienestar subjetivo fue predicha a partir de la satisfacción con la vida y los estilos de enfrentamiento. Los hallazgos muestran la importancia del profundizar y promover variables psicoso...

The aim of this study was to design and validate a scale to identify prejudices against indigenous people as a socially stigmatised and culturally relevant group in Mexican samples, and establishing gender differences in undergraduate students. A sample of 563 undergraduate students was drawn from Merida, the capital city, and inner towns in the state of Yucatan, Mexico. From the sample, 272 were women and 292 were men with an average age of 23.06 years. To measure beliefs scale was developed consisted of 50 Likert reagents to assess stereotypical beliefs toward indigenous people. Factor analysis threw five main factors. Results show that the scale has adequate psychometric qualities, including reliability and validity.

This study assessed the effect of variables such as life satisfaction, self-rated health, social support and coping styles on subjective well-being. The level of subjective well-being was studied in a sample of Mexican elderly persons from the state of Yucatan in Merida (n = 122) with an age range of 60-93 years. The results in women show that coping styles predicts subjective well-being in negative affects. Moreover, self-perception of health, coping styles, and satisfaction with life are adequate predictors of the cognitive dimension of subjective well-being. Results in men show that satisfaction with life and coping styles predict the cognitive dimension of subjective well-being. Findings point to the importance of exploring psychosocial variables in older adults.

Qualitative research on success in life suggests that this construct is explained by a five-dimensional model: personal growth, social recognition, social goals, happiness, and interpersonal relationships. However, this model has not been evaluated from the point of view of other paradigms to verify its validity. This investigation aimed to test the proposed model of success in life by validating a scale. The first version of the Success in Life Scale, consisting of 72 items, was applied online to 712 volunteers living in the metropolitan area of the Mexico valley. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) allowed us to obtain a final scale of 43 items distributed in six factors that explain 64.71 % of the variance. A confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) validated this structure. Internal consistency analysis of the scale showed α = .95. So, we conclude that success in life is explained by ...

Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases (CNCD) are long-term conditions and their evolution is slow. Currently the number of cases is on the rise and represent the leading cause of death worldwide. The treatments are usually complex and if the population does not begin to take responsibility, taking into account the healthy habits, the consequences will be greater for the health systems. For this reason, a program based on the Primary Health Care approach was prepared, submitted to expert analysis and a pretest-posttest design research was established in the municipalities located in the Toluca Valley, in the center of the country with 188 patients with CNCD.

Las Enfermedades Crónicas No Transmisibles (ECNT) son padecimientos de larga duración y su evolución es lenta. Actualmente el número de casos va en ascenso y representan la primera causa de muerte a nivel mundial. Los tratamientos suelen ser complejos y si la población no comienza a hacerse responsable, tomando en cuenta los hábitos saludables, las consecuencias serán mayores para los sistemas de salud. Por ello se elaboró un programa con base en el enfoque de Atención Primaria de Salud, se sometió a análisis por expertos y se estableció una investigación con diseño pretest-postest que se llevó a cabo en los municipios ubicados en el valle de Toluca, en el centro del país con 188 pacientes con ECNT.
