Adolescent students’ perceptions on parental supervision: Profiles and influences of student gender
No full textLa relación entre los estudiantes adolescentes y sus progenitores desempeña un papel crucial en el desarrollo de los primeros; sin embargo, son escasas las investigaciones que exploran las percepciones de los adolescentes sobre la supervisión parental, especialmente en relación con las influencias de género. El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar y validar una escala que examinara las percepciones de los estudiantes adolescentes sobre la supervisión parental, diferenciando entre supervisión paterna y materna. Además, se buscó identificar diferentes perfiles de supervisión paterna y materna y explorar cómo estos perfiles son influenciados por el género de los estudiantes. Participó una cohorte de 869 estudiantes adolescentes, que proporcionaron datos a través de la «Escala de percepción adolescente de la supervisión parental». Se analizó la validez de la escala mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales exploratorio y la fiabilidad de los datos utilizando el coeficiente Omega de McDonald. Tras comprobar la validez y fiabilidad de la escala, se realizó un análisis de perfiles latentes para categorizar a los estudiantes en distintos perfiles de supervisión en función de las respuestas. Finalmente, se examinó la influencia del género de los estudiantes en las probabilidades de pertenecer a cada perfil de supervisión parental, tanto en la versión paterna como en la materna de la escala. El análisis reveló tres perfiles de supervisión paterna y cuatro de supervisión materna, cada uno con características únicas en términos de intensidad y estilo. Se observó que el género de los adolescentes influía significativamente en la probabilidad de pertenecer a uno u otro perfil, tanto en la supervisión paterna como en la materna. Los resultados subrayan la necesidad de adoptar enfoques específicos de género en la supervisión parental. Este enfoque es crucial para apoyar las necesidades de desarrollo de los adolescentes. El estudio también abre vías para futuras investigaciones y aplicaciones prácticas en contextos educativos y familiares, destacando la importancia de comprender la dinámica de la supervisión parental en relación con el género.The relationship between adolescent students and their parents plays a crucial role in the former’s development, yet there is a paucity of research exploring adolescents’ perceptions of parental supervision, particularly in relation to gender influences. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate a scale examining students’ perceptions of parental supervision, differentiating between paternal and maternal supervision. In addition, we aimed to identify different profiles of paternal and maternal supervision and to explore how these profiles are influenced by the gender of the adolescents and the parents. A cohort of 869 adolescent students participated, providing data through the «Adolescent Perception Scale of Parental Supervision». The validity of the scale was analyzed using exploratory structural equation modelling, and the reliability of the data was tested with McDonald’s Omega coefficient. After testing the validity and reliability of the scale, a latent profile analysis was conducted to categorize students into different supervision profiles based on their responses. Finally, the influence of students’ gender on the likelihood of belonging to each parental supervision profile was examined for both the paternal and maternal versions of the scale.The analysis revealed three profiles of paternal supervision and four of maternal supervision, each exhibiting unique characteristics in terms of intensity and style. Adolescents’ gender was found to significantly influence the likelihood of belonging to one or the other profile, both in paternal and maternal supervision.The findings underscore the need of adopting gender-specific approaches in parental supervision. This approach is crucial for supporting the developmental needs of adolescents. The study also opens avenues for further research and practical applications in educational and family contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nuanced dynamics of parental supervision in relation to gender368337320,7973,6Q1Q1SSCI10,9ERIH PLU
Perceived employability among European workers: the impact of human capital, training practices and national values
No full textPurpose – Based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this paper aims to explore how individual
factors, organizational training practices and national values of masculinity and uncertainty avoidance
influence workers’ perceived employability. Design/methodology/approach – A hierarchical linear model tested the proposed hypotheses among a sample of 26,555 workers from 29 European countries, obtained through the 6th European Work Conditions Survey. Findings – Results show the influence of individual factors (i.e. level of education, work experience at the current organization, training paid for by employees, etc.), the organization’s training practices and national cultural values on the European workers’ perceived employability. Post hoc analysis also shows that current “person-job fit” moderates the influence of several individual factors, organizational practices and cultural values on perceived employability.
Research limitations/implications – It would be interesting to replicate this study in non-European
countries to better understand the effect of national cultural values on perceived employability. Future
research should also consider a longitudinal approach to better capture the dynamics of employability over
time. Practical implications – As a complex and increasingly interesting phenomenon in the academic literature on management, this study contributes a deeper understanding of how several factors influence perceived employability. Individuals and organizations should invest in training and development programs that enhance employability, considering individual and cultural factors. Additionally, this research provides insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to strengthen workforce development and adaptability in Europe. Originality/value – This study provides a comprehensive framework based on a multilevel approach (individual, organizational and national factors) to understand the antecedents of perceived employability among individuals already employed.231,01Q1ESCI10,
Two- and Three-Dimensional In Vitro Models of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases: State-of-the-Art and Applications
No full textIn vitro models play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease (PD and AD). Traditionally, 2D cell cultures have been instrumental in elucidating the cellular mechanisms underlying these diseases. Cultured cells derived from patients or animal models provide valuable insights into the pathological processes at the cellular level. However, they often lack the native tissue environment complexity, limiting their ability to fully recapitulate their features. In contrast, 3D models offer a more physiologically relevant platform by mimicking the 3D brain tissue architecture. These models can incorporate multiple cell types, including neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, creating a microenvironment that closely resembles the brain’s complexity. Bioengineering approaches allow researchers to better replicate cell–cell interactions, neuronal connectivity, and disease-related phenotypes. Both 2D and 3D models have their advantages and limitations. While 2D cultures provide simplicity and scalability for high-throughput screening and basic processes, 3D models offer enhanced physiological relevance and better replicate disease phenotypes. Integrating findings from both model systems can provide a better understanding of NDs, ultimately aiding in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we review existing 2D and 3D in vitro models for the study of PD and AD.231,1794,9Q1Q1SCIE10,
