Alexithymia refers to the difficulty in identifying and communicating feelings. The only published meta-analysis on gender differences alexithymia is based studies at least 20 years old. However, due changes roles recent decades, reviewing updated literature this topic needed. A was conducted examine its dimensions between 2004 2023. In sum, 120 with 145 samples (N = 88,721; Mage 33.81 SDage 3; 47.6 % of women) met inclusion criteria. Results revealed a significant small effect (d 0.22; 95...
Using a prototype approach to emotion concepts, two studies were conducted in the Basque Country, where an ancient non-Indo-European language is still spoken, identify mental state words that speakers are most certain name emotions (emozioak) and map hierarchical family resemblance structure of prototypical 124 concepts. Cluster analysis sorting data collected Country revealed five basic level categories similar those found American English Indonesian (love, happiness, anger, sadness, fear)...
Abstract A Spanish adaptation of the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) measure 2 dimensions adult attachment (K. A. Brennan, C. L. Clark, & P. R. Shaver, 1998) was created using a back‐translation procedure. Called ECR‐S, new scale displays same 2‐factor structure as English‐language ECR both university and community samples is reliable internal consistency temporal stability senses. In sample married cohabiting couples, subscales anxiety avoidance, are orthogonal correlate with...
Despite the importance of emotions in classrooms, no measurements have been developed to assess group emotional intelligence (EI). The aim this work was develop a questionnaire for measuring EI (G-TMMS) educational contexts. psychometric properties G-TMMS were examined sample 794 participants (47% female; mean age = 16; SD 1.4), divided into 59 classrooms. showed one-factor structure. It also demonstrated adequate internal consistency, temporal stability, and convergent validity. Moreover,...
Gender, gender role, and attachment style were used to predict emotional instrumental dependency in a Basque student sample (N = 602). Psychometrically sound Spanish adaptations of English–language measures created. As predicted, women more emotionally instrumentally dependent than men, but the sex differences mediated by psychological masculinity femininity. The anxious dimension was correlated with dependency, preoccupied rating avoidant fearful dependency. When two dimensions gender–role...
This article investigated the dimensionality, measurement invariance, and cross-cultural variations of social desirability. A total 3,471 university students from 20 countries completed an adapted version Marlowe–Crowne scale. two-dimensional structure was revealed in pooled sample, distinguishing enhancement (endorsement positive self-description) denial (rejection negative self-description). The factor supported most countries; medium-sized item bias found two items. In a multilevel...
This study aims to evaluate a number of procedures that have been proposed enhance cross–cultural comparability personality and value data. A priori (anchoring vignettes direct measures response styles (i.e. acquiescence, extremity, midpoint responding, social desirability), posteriori focusing on data transformations prior analysis (ipsatization item parcelling), two modelling (treating as continuous vs ordered categories) were compared using collected from university students in 16...
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship among aggressiveness, parenting practices, and attachment security in adolescents, assessing maternal paternal effects separately. Two different subsamples adolescents between 12 16 years old participated (
Abstract Three studies aimed at developing the Spanish version of Inventory Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA; Armsden & Greenberg, 1987) analyzing its factor structure are reported. In Study 1, translation items their content analysis was carried out via cognitive interviews. 2, three-factor proposed by authors tested in a sample 417 adolescents (270 girls 147 boys) using confirmatory analysis, indexes showed suboptimal fit. A principal component yielded one-dimensional structures...
Abstract In this research, we examined actors' and partners' perceptions of each other's attachment insecurities the associations these with relationship satisfaction. A sample 148 heterosexual couples completed measures self partner Results indicate that partners agree in their own (anxiety avoidance). Based on actor–partner interdependence model ( APIM ), also found both scores avoidance partner's degree avoidanc are associated lower Finally, way an actor perceives his or her plays a...
There is hardly any cross-cultural research on the measurement invariance of Brief Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scales (BMSLSS). The current article evaluates BMSLSS across cultural contexts. This cross-sectional study sampled 7,739 adolescents and emerging adults in 23 countries. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit configural partial weights models, indicating similar patterns strengths loading for both various We found insufficient evidence scalar...

Abstract. We compared the psychometric properties of American and Spanish versions Experiences in Close Relationship measure (ECR; Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998 ; ECR-S, Alonso-Arbiol, Balluerka, 2007 Yárnoz, 2002) , which assesses individual differences attachment-related anxiety avoidance. The version questionnaire was administered to 1,265 Americans 747 Spaniards, all them university students. results indicate that two linguistic are comparable, Avoidance Anxiety scales exhibit high...
Drawing on the literature person-culture fit, we investigated how culture (assessed as national-level familism), personality (tapped by attachment styles) and their interactions predicted social network characteristics in 21 nations/areas ( N = 2977). Multilevel mixed modeling showed that familism smaller size but greater density, tie strength, multiplexity. Attachment avoidance size, lower anxiety was related to density strength. Familism enhanced avoidance’s association with reduced its...
Accurate assessment of dating violence (DV) is crucial for evaluation and intervention planning. However, extant self-report measurement tools DV do not adequately consider age-, generation-, culture-specific issues, which are essential its accurate conceptualization. To address these gaps, we developed the Violence in Adolescents’ Dating Relationships Inventory (VADRI) evaluated psychometric properties. The VADRI was based on a qualitative approach item development through adolescents’...
