El estudio buscó conocer el vínculo entre las funciones ejecutivas y la intolerancia a la incertidumbre en estudiantes de Psicología en Lima-Metropolitana. Participaron 386 estudiantes de ambos sexos y mayores de edad. Fue descriptivo-correlacional y transversal, con diseño no experimental. Se utilizaron una ficha sociodemográfica, el formato de autorreporte de la Escala EFECO para evaluar funciones ejecutivas y la Escala de intolerancia a la incertidumbre (EII). Los hallazgos evidencian que existe una correlación alta y negativa entre las dos variables de investigación, siendo esta r=-.69. De igual manera, se hallaron correlaciones altas y negativas al analizar la muestra según sexo, grupo etario y tipo de institución educativa.

In this article, an analysis of the criminal behavior is made, relating these to the most current criminological theories. It describes its psychological aspects and its influence in the development of criminal behavior, individual or grupal. It then shows how research supports these theoretical formulations. It is advisable to use qualitative research to generate contextual explanations. About this, narrative designs are emphasized, because they allow criminals to reflect on their own lives through their own words, and for researcher, a genuine social, ethical and political personal commitment.

Adolescent criminal behavior is a problem that can be approached from different angles.  One of the most relevant is its association with symptoms of mental disorders.  Therefore, adequate and timely detection of clinical features is imperative.  In this context, self-report instruments are frequently used, even though their use has not been systematized. The present study reviews empirical articles where clinical characteristics of adolescents in conflict with the law have been evaluated with self-report instruments. Four databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and SciElo) with articles published between 2015 and 2021 and written in English, Portuguese and Spanish were reviewed.  The final selection was 30 articles.  The review highlights the use of the Youth Self Report to assess various clinical symptoms, in addition to the Youth Psychopathic Trait Inventory and the Inventory o...

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale (CL-FODS) at psychometric properties. 448 university students participated [H: 174, M: 274, DE: 3.0, ME: 23.27]. In the confirmatory factor analysis, better values ​​were found in the bifactor model (χ²/gl = 2.54, CFI = .91, TLI = .90, SRMR = .051, RMSEA = .06, AIC = 33467.22, PUC =.78, ECV = .77, Omega H = .91). Likewise, it was found that the Scale presents a medium effect on convergent validity with Fear of Covid19 (r=.49). Besides, reliability was obtained in the general scale (ω=.96) and by dimensions (MPM ω=.87; MPPM ω=.91; MMO ω=.90; MPMO ω=.92). Subsequently, it was corroborated through measurement invariance that the construct does not show differences according to sex and age. Finally, it was concluded that the LC - FODS has good psychometric properties.
