En este artículo se investigan las actitudes en cuanto a la investigación y su relación con el rendimiento académico en un grupo de estudiantes de primer ciclo de una universidad privada. El método se trabajó con alumnos de psicología e ingeniería, con una muestra de 420 personas seleccionadas mediante un muestreo de tipo intencional. Para esto se utilizó una escala de actitudes hacia la investigación elaborada y, a fin de medir el rendimiento académico, se trabajó con las notas promedio obtenidas en los cursos donde elaboran trabajos de investigación formativa. Los hallazgos más significativos indican que no existe relación entre la actitud hacia la investigación y el rendimiento académico; solo existe correspondencia entre el componente cognitivo y afectivo de la actitud hacia la investigación y el rendimiento académico.

Currently, there is evidence of an increase in displacement caused by conflicts, persecution, lack of opportunities, security, among other reasons, increasing the migrant population in Latin American countries. The displaced Venezuelans stand out, with Peru being the second country in Latin America with more than this population of migrants. Studies have warned about the devaluation of migrants and especially those who live with infectious diseases such as HIV. The autochthonous citizens of the receiving country perceive the presence of the outgroup as threats to their social rights, related to negative attitudes, which has been promoted by the media. Therefore, it is important to carry out studies that estimate the discernment of out-group threats closely towards migrants. The objective is to evaluate the psychometric evidence of the EPAE measurement instrument in a sample of Peruvian a...

The research aimed to establish the differences in the emotional intelligence of students in the first cycle of a private university. The Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory was applied to a sample consisting of 1,940 male and female subjects from 16 to 25 years old. Crossover design was used with a significance level of 0.05 (p <0.05) and found no statistically significant difference regarding sex between the following components: interpersonal component, stress management and general mood. There are differences regarding the type of school in total emotional quotient, intrapersonal component, adaptability, stress management, the subcomponents of self-knowledge, assertiveness, self-concept, self-realization, social responsibility, problem solving, reality testing, flexibility, stress management, impulse control and optimism.

This article investigates attitudes toward research and its relation to academic performance in a group of first cycle students from a private university. Method was worked with students of psychology and engineering. A sample of 420 people selected through an intentional sampling was used. We used a scale of attitudes towards the research developed for the present research, to measure the academic performance we worked with the average grades obtained in the courses where they elaborate formative research works. The most significant findings indicate that there is no relationship between attitudes towards research and academic achievement. There is only a relationship between the cognitive and affective components of attitude toward research and academic performance.

Alcohol consumption is a problem that has grown in the last 20 years in the world and a population that was affected is the youth, for this reason the present study proposes to analyze the psychometric evidence of the AUDIT in university students in Lima.

Background: Family functioning is an important factor in mental health, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to have valid, reliable, and equitable measurement instruments for its adequate use in psychological assessment and intervention.  Objective: To analyze the evidence of validity, reliability and equity of the Family Functionality Scale (APGAR) in a sample of Peruvian older adults. Methods: A total of 522 older adults, aged 60 to 93 years (M=70.81, SD=7.62), responded to the APGAR scale. Results: Adequate fit indices were found for a three-factor correlated model: x2/gl=1.61, CFI=.99, TLI=.98, SRMR=.05, and RMSEA=.04. A relationship was also found between the APGAR scores and the WHO-5 (r=.318), which is evidence of convergent validity. Likewise, evidence of reliability of the scores was found (>.80); finally, the scale is invar...

The family is the system that teaches through communication, forming relationship patterns that the members are practicing in other contexts. The objective of this research was to characterize communication in nuclear families with adolescent children, as a binding entity within the family system. This study was descriptive observational with a qualitative approach. 10 nuclear families with adolescent children between 13 and 17 years old participated, selected with incidental non probalistic sampling. Data were collected through circular interviews, focus group topic guide and the application of the Family Communication Scale. The results that the families have manage alternative communication styles and indirect masked typology; It is determined that being clear and direct is not enough for communication to be functional. Furthermore, if the communicational exchange is devoid of affecti...
