Results: It was found that emotional claritywas negatively correlated with the intention to consume alcohol. It was also observed thatemotional clarity and emotional repair were predictors of the intention to consume alcoholand emotional clarity was a predictor of the intention to consume marijuana.

The Coronavirus Covid 19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has produced terrible effects in the world economy and is shaking social and political stability around the world. The world of sport has obviously been severely affected by the pandemic, as authorities progressively canceled all level of competitions, including the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. In Spain, the initial government-lockdown closed the Sports High-performance Centers, and many other sports facilities. In order to support athlete's health and performance at crises like these, an online questionnaire named RECOVID-19, was designed to assess how athletes were living their lives during such periods of home confinement. The main purpose of the questionnaire was to assess the impact of prolongued confinement on athlete's psychological, emotional, and behavioral performance. One thousand, two hundred forty-eight athletes participated in the survey. They had the fllowing characteristics: (Mean age = 22.31 ± 11.49, Female: 53%), who compete at National (N: 1017, Mean age = 21.58 ± 11.42, Female: 52%) and International level (N: 231, Mean age = 25.56 ± 11.22, Female: 57%). Results showed that during the confinement period, those athletes who lacked motivation reported a higher level of stressful thoughts, more behavioral problems, and greater emotional upheaval (anger, fatigue, tension, and depression). However, those athletes who accepted confinement measures as necessary, and were in favor of respecting the rules of social isolation, fostered positive emotional states such as feelings of friendship. In addition, the availability of some sport equipment together with the ability to continue some training, were (1) protective factors against emotional stress, lack of motivation and behavioral problems; and (2) they were associated with greater respect for, and adherence to, confinement rules. Gender differences, tested by multigroup analysis, revealed that coping activities were more often associated to negative emotional states among women, whereas the ongoing availability of training information and future conditions were equally protective factors for both genders. This study also showed that receiving coaching, support and completing frequent training routines seem to be valuable tools to prevent or reduce some of the harmful effects of isolation on athlete's emotional well-being. The conclusions derived from this research would possibly help sport authorities to design supporting policies and plans to support athletes and trainers in future disruptive health crises.
ABSTRACT
En este estudio pretendemos analizar el uso de la versión española reducida del cuestionario de funcionamiento de la memoria como instrumento válido y fiable en una muestra (n = 147) de personas mayores de 55 años sin retrasos degenerativos evidentes. El cuestionario se administró de modo longitudinal al principio y final de un curso académico entre los participantes del programa universitario de mayores 'Aula de la Experiencia' (Universidad de Sevilla). El análisis factorial de componentes principales con rotación Varimax mostró una estructura de cuatro factores correspondientes a cada una de los cuatro subtest originales del cuestionario. Para el análisis de la fiabilidad se empleó el método de medidas repetidas pretest-postest, con un intervalo de 9 meses entre cada registro, obteniendo una alta correlación en cada subtest. Igualmente, se observó una alta consistencia interna en cada subtest, obtenida mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, lo cual confirma la fiabilidad del cuestionario. Además, se comprobó que las puntuaciones en el cuestionario no estaban significativamente influidas por las características socio-demográficas de los participantes. En conclusión, el cuestionario puede ser empleado como una herramienta útil para evaluar el funcionamiento de la memoria en poblaciones adultas mayores de 55 años
In this study we try to analyze the use of the reduced Spanish version of the Memory Functioning Questionnaire as a valued and reliable instrument in a sample (n = 147) of elder people over 55 years old without any evidence of degeneration. The data was obtained of a longitudinal study in the beginning and end of an academic course of the Third Age University Program 'Aula de la Experiencia' (Seville University). The factorial analysis of main components with Varimax rotation showed a structure of four factors corresponding to each one of the four original subtest of the questionnaire. The reliability analysis, calculated by the repeated measures pretest-postest with 9 months between measures, indicated a high correlation for each subtest. Also, a high internal consistency was observed for each subtest, calculated by the alpha of Cronbach, which confirms the reliability of the questionnaire. In addition, it was verified that the scores in the questionnaire significantly were not influenced by the demographic characteristics of the participants. In conclusion, the questionnaire can be used like a useful tool to evaluate the operation of the memory in elder populations over 55 years old
