The present study proposes to characterize the relationship between upbringing styles and ADHD related behaviors. This involved the participation of 46 parents of children belonging to the elementary school Juan A. Mateos, who were asked to respond to the Adaptation of the Parenting Questionnaire, and the survey of diagnostic criteria for Attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. We performed an X2 test of the data obtained for the variables of upbringing style and suspected ADHD referred by adults (parents and teachers), suggesting a relationship between authoritarian parenting style and non-suspected ADHD by parents, also showing according to the appreciation of teachers a relationship between permissive parenting style and suspected ADHD.

 According to Spielberg (1988), anger is defined as a basic emotion which occurs at a particular moment before aggression or hostility. State anger is characterized by subjective feelings that vary in intensity, from mild irritation or annoyance to intense fury and rage. On the other hand, trait anger is defined as a willingness to perceive a wide range of situations as annoying or frustrating and to experience increased state anger. The experience of anger has been related to different health problems (Averill 1983, Mytton et al. 2002), personality disorders (DiGiussepe et al. 2012), suicide risk (Hawkins et al. 2014), and others. The purpose of this study was to conduct a diagnostic assessment of the experience and expression of anger in young university students, as a first step toward future actions promoting proper regulation and anger management. For this purpose, an ex post f...

The aim of the present study was the adaptation and evaluation of the psychometric properties of the life skills test in young Mexicans. Sample, 275 young students of upper secondary education and undergraduate degree, 43.6% of the Centro Universitario del Sur, 37.8% Centro Universitario de los Valles, and 18.5% of upper secondary education of the University of Guadalajara of the state of Jalisco, México. The 30.5 males and 69.5% women, the range between 16 and 29 years, ME 20 and 2.39. As for the occupation, 90.9% referred to be a student, 8.7% studied and worked and. 4% studied and home. Instrument: Life skills Test. Results. They demonstrate that the life skills test has adequate psychometric properties in this population, so it is an appropriate instrument to measure life skills in young Mexicans.

Reading comprehension (RC) is one of the most important behavioral competencies for modern man. Those who do not read or read without understanding are unable to use the knowledge that, figuratively speaking, are available in the texts. This situation is common to a lot of students in elementary school in Mexico, more acute in those who live in non-urban areas. In this sense we did a study to assess the level of RC in 4th and 5th grade students of elementary school in two municipalities in the state of Jalisco, because there is no specific data about it. 112 students of 4th and 5th grade participated, 56 participants for each group, who were evaluated for their RC with ECOMPLEC test (Leon Escudero and Olmos, 2012). The results showed no statistically significant differences in RC between students of 4th and 5th grade (t test with p > 0,05), although the latter group had better results...
