This study evaluates the impact on child development of a group intervention with mothers and their eight-month-old babies from a marginal urban district of Lima. The groups, control and treatment, were randomized and child development was assessed before and after with the BSID-II. The intervention had a general positive impact in the children’s development, but no significant differences were found between both groups in the Mental Development Index or the Psychomotor Development Index. There was a significant effect (p < .05) in two of the BSID-II Behavioral Scale factors.

El presente estudio explora la relación entre los estilos y estrategias de afrontamiento, y los estilos de personalidad en un grupo de 41 voluntarios de una institución de lucha contra la pobreza en la ciudad de Lima. Se utilizó las escalas COPE y MIPS adaptadas al medio. Los hallazgos revelaron que los voluntarios utilizan estrategias de afrontamiento adaptativas. Los estilos de personalidad que caracterizaron a la muestra permitieron determinar un perfil de personalidad del grupo. De acuerdo con la teoría revisada ambas variables psicológicas resultaron estar asociadas en este grupo de estudio, revelando cuatro tendencias particulares en los voluntarios: deseo por el contacto con los demás, disposición a buscar el lado positivo de las situaciones, interés por asumir retos, y desarrollo de estrategias de afrontamiento adaptativas.

This study explores the relationship between coping styles and strategies, and personality styles in a sample of 41 young volunteers of an institution that alleviates poverty in Lima. Peruvian adaptations of COPE and MIPS scales were administered. The results show that volunteers have higher scores on adaptive coping strategies. High scores in some particular personality styles were reported, which allowed to establish a personality profile of this group. According with theoretical framework, most coping strategies correlated with most personality styles, revealing four particular tendencies in these volunteers: they wish to have contact with other people, they usually see positive aspects of situations, they look forward for challenges, and they developed adaptive coping strategies.

ABSTRACT This research explored evidences of internal structure and convergent validity as well as reliability of a Spanish version of the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) in Peruvian college students. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out sequentially in two randomly assigned sub-groups (n = 289, n = 301). Horn’s parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis performed with the first subgroup found a structure of three factors (anxiety, avoidance directly measured and avoidance inversely measured). Then, confirmatory factor analysis carried out with the second sub-group replicated a three-factor model with acceptable adjustment indices. Each dimension showed good internal consistency trough Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The results partially support convergent validity of the ECR-R with the Relationship Questionnaire. Finally, a 27-item S...
