The study explores child representations on the identity and origin of disease according to age, educational level and socioeconomic status. Ninety children were assessed using the Child Disease Representations Interview (CDRI) inspired in seven cards graphically repre­senting the usual treatment of children with cancer. Results show that the same element of reality can be conceptualized in multiple ways and that smaller children tend to appeal to non-serious diseases whereas older children refer to more serious ones. Children represent the disease consistently with what child development literature has depicted. Within the lower socioeconomic level, there is a delay in the access to certain concepts, which is recti­fied at later stages.

The following is an exploratory study that intends to precise the way in which a group of parents of children diagnosed with cancer mentally represent this disea~e and its etiology. For this, 63 parent of 50 children who were beginning their treatment were interviewed. At a qualitative leve!, a content analysis wa~ carried out which allowed the definition of representational categories. With the frequency registration of the latest, a statistical analysis of the main component was carried out which informed of the presence of twelve representational groups. The results show us that although explicitly there predominates the representation of cancer as a curable disease if it is diagnosed soon enough and it receives treatment, deep down persists the link of oncological processes with death. The differences found in the representations of fathers and mothers of a specific child about this ...

En este estudio exploratorio se pretende precisar el modo como un grupo de progenitores de niños diagnosticados con cáncer se representan esta enfermedad y su etiología. Para ello, se entrevistó a 63 padres de 50 niños que iniciaban su tratamiento. A nivel cualitativo, se realizó un análisis de con-tenido que permitió la definición de categoría~ representacionales. Con el registro de frecuencias de estas últimas, se llevó a cabo un análisis estadístico de componentes principales que informó de la presencia de doce grupos representacionales. Los resultados nos muestran que si bien de manera ex-plícita predomina la representación del cáncer como una enfermedad curable si es diagnosticada a tiempo y recibe tratamiento, a la ba~e persiste la vinculación de los procesos oncológicos con la muerte. Las diferencias encontradas en las representaciones de los padres y madres de...

Estudio correlacional que identifica las dimensiones de personalidad, el tipo de ansie-dad y las características sociodemográticas de alumnos de un centro preuniversitario. Se trabajó con 31 R participantes de ambos sexos (43.8% mujeres y 56.2% hombres), que entre 16 y 19 años. Se los evaluó con los siguientes instrumentos: (a) NEO PI-R de Costa y McCrae (1992), (b) Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo de Spielberger (IDARE, 1975) y (e) reporte de los tutores. Los resultados confirman la presencia de una estructura factorial básica de cinco dimensiones. Asimismo, revelan correlaciones significativas entre el C.l., características de personalidad asociadas al factor concien-cia e ingreso a la universidad. Entre las facetas que correlacionan con el ingreso desta-ca la autodisciplina. Finalmente, se discuten los resultados.

This correlational study identifies personality dimensions, type of anxiety and sociodemographic characteristics of students from a preuniversity center. 1t was conducted with 318 participants of both sexes (43.8% female and 56.2% male) whose ages range from 15 to 19 years old. They were assessed with the following instruments: Costa and McCrae's Persona1ity lnventory NEO PI-R (1992), Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety lnventory (STAI, 1975) and tutors' reports. Results confirm the presence of a basic factor structure of five dimensions: Likewise, they also reveal significant correlations among Intellectual Quotient (IQ). personality characteristics related to Conscientiousness factor and admission to university. Self-discipline stands out among the facets that correlate with admission. Finally, results are discussed.
