Cohousing vs.vecindarios tradicionales en tiempos del COVID-19:variables psicológicas y estrategias de afrontamiento de estrés en un estudio de diferencia de grupos
Full text linkDurante el aislamiento social que se implantó debido a la pandemia del COVID-19, se realizó en Alemania un estudio dediferencia de grupos entre una muestra de residentes en comunidades de cohousing (n = 180) y habitantes en vecindariostradicionales (n = 104). Con el fin llevar a cabo una evaluaciónpsicológica, se tuvieron en cuenta los rasgos de la personalidad,síntomas psicológicos, el bienestar psicológico, la inteligenciaemocional como rasgo y las estrategias de afrontamiento delestrés. Se encontraron diferencias significativas que respaldan,por un lado, que los residentes en comunidades de cohousingdisponen de unos niveles más bajos con respecto al desapego ypsicoticismo, a los síntomas depresivos, ansiosos, compulsivosy alimenticios y, por otro lado, el menor uso de estrategias deafrontamiento que están basadas en la ocultación emocional, laevitación del problema y la retirada social. Además, sus habitantes mostraron mayores niveles en el bienestar y la estrategiade afrontamiento centrada en el apoyo social. Se concluye quela convivencia en una comunidad de cohousing favorece, conrespecto a los habitantes en vecindarios tradicionales, la saludmental de sus habitantes.Fil: Schetsche, Christian.

Is Hostility the Link Between Low and High Levels of Psychological Symptoms?: A Latent Profile Analysis
Full text linkAn alternative for the study of co-occurring syndromes is the empirically derived Latent Profile Analysis (LPA). Due to the apparent non-existence of research using this method with a wide variety of psychological symptoms, the aim of the present study comprised the empirical determination of their patterns. After identifying the latent subgroups, the second objective of the study was to analyze their differences concerning symptom severity, use of coping strategies, selected social support variables, personality traits, and sociodemographic variables. The sample (n= 918) was collected through the Internet and, employing van der Waerden´s non-parametric test, differences were evaluated between the five profiles found. The results evidenced considerable effect sizes regarding hostility and no significant differences for extraversion.After controlling for demographic variables and personality traits, adaptive coping strategies showed no significant differences. It was concluded that future research should further study hostility as a possible link between high and low levels of the symptoms analyzed and their associations with perceived understanding, emotional support received, and availability of emotional support as protective factorsFil: Schetsche, Christian.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Emotional regulation strategies and their effects on frustration intolerance: Structural Equation Modeling
Full text linkEl objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar las relaciones entre las estrategias adaptativas y desadaptativas de la regulación emocional (RE) y sus efectos sobre la intolerancia a la frustración (IF). Se conformó una muestra no-probabilística de 1066 adultos (M edad= 35.76, DS= 12.78, femenino= 838) residentes en Argentina, a quienes se administraron la Escala de Intolerancia a la Frustración (EIF) y el Cuestionario de regulación emocional cognitiva (CERQ, Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire). A través de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, se determinó que la estrategia de RE denominada Rumiación presentó los mayores efectos sobre la IF; además, se destacó por sus efectos mediadores sobre las demás estrategias desadaptativas. Aunque Aceptación, Poner en perspectiva y Refocalización en planes se consideren estrategias adaptativas de RE, el modelo desarrollado indica que fomentan el uso de las estrategias desadaptativas. Solamente la Focalización positiva tuvo efectos positivos, por lo que se concluye que consiste en la estratégica principal para reducir la IF.The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relationships between adaptive and maladaptive strategies of emotional regulation (ER) and their effects on intolerance to frustration (FI). A non-probabilistic sample of 1066 adults (M age= 35.76, SD= 12.78, female= 838) residents of Argentina was collected and administered the Frustration Intolerance Scale (EIF) and the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Through structural equation modeling, it was determined that the ER strategy called Rumination presented the greatest effects on FI; in addition, it stood out for its mediating effects on the other maladaptive strategies. Although Acceptance, Putting in perspective and Refocusing on plans are considered adaptive ER strategies, the model developed indicates that they promote the use of maladaptive strategies. Only Positive Focusing had positive effects, thus it is concluded that it is the main strategy to reduce FI.Fil: Schetsche, Christian. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Psicología.

Validación del Inventario SISCO del Estrés de Pandemia (ISEP) en población de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Full text linkEl Inventario SISCO del Estrés de Pandemia (ISEP) evalúa el estrés generado por las demandas del entorno de la pandemia Covid-19, entendido como un estado psicológico producido por un proceso de adaptación donde el individuo valora las demandas o exigencias del entorno, determinadas por el Covid-19, como desbordantes de sus recursos para realizarlas con efectividad. Es medido a través de tres factores: Estresores, Reacciones y Estrategias de Afrontamiento, y una escala de Estrés total. Para probar la validez de dicho instrumento en población de Buenos Aires, Argentina, se llevó a cabo un Análisis Factorial Exploratorio y un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio en una muestra no probabilística, de tipo intencional, de 466 sujetos (358 de género femenino) con una edad media de 36.6 años. Los resultados proporcionan evidencia de confiabilidad y validez de constructo. En comparación con tres modelos teóricamente competitivos, el modelo Bi-factorial (una escala total y tres factores independientes de ésta) resultó ser el más apropiado para describir los datos recopilados. Se concluye que el ISEP puede ser empleado como un instrumento válido de evaluación del Estrés de Pandemia.The SISCO Pandemic Stress Inventory (ISEP) measure the stress generated by the demands of the environment of the Covid-19 pandemic, understood as a psychological state produced by an adaptation process where the individual assesses the demands of the environment, determined by the Covid-19, as overflowing with their resources to carry them out effectively. It is measured through three factors: Stressors, Reactions and Coping Strategies, and a total Stress scale. To test the validity of this instrument in the population of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out in a non-probabilistic, intentional sample of 466 subjects (358 female) with a mean age of 36.6 years. e results provide evidence of reliability and construct validity. Compared with three theoretically competitive models, the Bi-factorial model (a full scale and three independent factors of it) turned out to be the most appropriate to describe the collected data. It is concluded that the ISEP can be used as a valid instrument for evaluating Pandemic Stress.Fil: Caccia, Paula Agustina. Universidad de Buenos Aires; Argentina.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
