ABSTRACT

La "Centrality of Event Scale" (CES) es un instrumento utilizado para evaluar la centralidad que tiene una determinada experiencia en la persona. Estudios previos muestran que la centralidad es un constructo altamente relacionado con el estrés post-traumático, la depresión o el duelo complicado. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar su adaptación al castellano y caracterizar su fiabilidad y validez. Participaron dos muestras compuestas por 208 y 320 estudiantes universitarios que completaron la CES y medidas de depresión (BDI), ansiedad (STAI) y sintomatologia de estrés post-traumático (PSS). Los resultados coinciden con los obtenidos con la versión original de la CES, tanto en consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach de 0.92 y 0.94, para cada muestra), como en test-retest a los dos meses (r=0.803, p<0.01). El análisis de componentes principales muestra un único factor explicativo que daba cuenta del 45% de la varianza. Finalmente las puntuaciones de la CES muestran relaciones con diversos indices de psicopatologia, siendo además un predictor, junto con las medidas de ansiedad y depresión, del 32% de la sintomatologia de estrés post-traumático. La adaptación al castellano de la escala CES parece ser una medida válida y fiable sobre centralidad del evento.


The "Centrality of Event Scale" (CES) is an instrument used to assess the centrality that a particular event has in the person. Previous studies show that centrality is a construct highly relevant for post-traumatic stress symptomatho-logy, depression and complicated grief. The aim of this study was to adapt into Spanish the CES and obtain evidences of reliability and validity. Two samples consisting of208 and 320 college students participated in the study. They completed the CES and measures of depression (BDI), anxiety (STAI) and symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PSS). The results agree with those obtained by the original version of the CES, showing high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.92 and 0.94, for each sample) and acceptable test-retest reliability at two months (r = 0.803, p < 0.01). The principal component analysis shows a single explanatory factor that accounted for 45% of the variance. Finally, CES scores show significative relationships with various indicators of psychopatholo-gy, and is also a predictor, along with measures of anxiety and depression, of the 32% of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. The Spanish version of the CES seems to be a valid and reliable measure of the centrality of the event.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to analyze the current situation of AIDS in Latin American countries. Specifically, to compare their situation with other geographic areas of the planet, the prevalence index per countries, distribution per sex and age and, finally, the main ways of transmission in each country. The most recent data published by OMS and demographic data obtained from the Latin American and Caribean Demographic Center (CELADE) was used. This analysis reflects that in Latin America it is impossible to talk about AIDS in a homogeneous way since the differences between countries are remarkable

ABSTRACT

En este estudio se ha realizado un análisis de la teoría del amor propuesta por Sternberg (1987-94). Para llevar a cabo la investigación se ha utilizado la técnica de desplegamiento, empleando una muestra de 365 sujetos, dividida ésta a su vez en dos submuestras, una de 200 universitarios y otra, obtenida en centros de trabajo y locales comerciales, de 165 personas de mayor edad. Así, se ha encontrado como los valores propuestos por Sternberg se ajustan sólo en algunos momentos específicos de la relación, a un continuo de medida para las relaciones de pareja definidos por los polos del amor Romántico –Amor de compromiso/ vacío. De igual forma, apuntar que, en contra de lo predicho por Sternberg, no se han encontrado diferencias sexuales en las preferencias referentes al componente de la pasión, Sin embargo, a favor de la teoría de Sternberg se observa una menor preferencia por la pasión en muestras de personas con una edad mayor en comparación con una muestra mas joven.


In this study, analysis of the Sternberg’s Love Theory (1987-94) has been made. This analysis has been based on the Unfolding Method with a swab composted by 365 subjects: 200 from University and 165 from Stores and Working places, older than first. Thus, the adjustment to the components proposed by Sternberg in a measure continuous: Romantic Love versus Commitment Love, only appears in specific moments of love relationships. Also, there is no sexual differences on the preferences made by swab respects on the component Passion, opponed fact to the Sternberg Theory. However, the results indicate Passion is more important for youngest that elder, supporting, in that way, Sternberg’s Theory.
