ABSTRACT
Various works of research into violence in relationships between young couples refer to a lack of perception of some behavior patterns such as abuse. This means that the relationship has the potential risk of developing into one of victimization should it last into adulthood. Although it has been shown that this phenomenon may occur in any sector of the population, the interest of our study rests upon determining the prevalence of the perception of violent behavior patterns in relationships between adolescent and young adult couples. We also aim to analyze the differences obtained with respect to the characteristics of the aggressors in the young Afro-Colombian population of Quibdó, Colombia. The participants in the study consisted of 540 young Afro-Colombians of both sexes between 15 and 27 years of age. The instrument used was the reduced version of the Dating Violence Questionnaire. The results show a high level of victimization through violent behavior on the part of the partner, in great measure exercised by generalist aggressors. However, a small proportion could be perceived as abuse. The implications and possible means of intervention are discussed.

In this study, the relationship between extra school activities, physical activity, sedentary leisure, sleeping and the Body Mass Index (IMC) was analyzed. The sample consisted of 72 students, 41 girls and 31 boys, aged between 9 and 10 years and half. An individual interview was made in which the children were asked out about the TV programs that they watched each one of the days of the week, the time that they spent with the console and the computer, the time that they dedicated to the sports and other physical activities. The results showed that the sedentary leisure (number of hours of television, computer and console) is associated with an increase of the IMC. But sedentary leisure is also related with short sleeping and with the extra school activities. The implications of these results on the study childhood overweight are discussed (AU)
En este estudio se analizan, a través del path analysis, la relación entre las actividades extraescolares, el ocio sedentario, el sueño y el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC). Participó una muestra de 72 alumnos, 41 chicas y 31 chicos, de cuarto de primaria, con una edad comprendida entre los 9 y los 10 años y medio. Para ello se realizó una entrevista individual en la que se preguntaba a los niños los programas que veían en la televisión cada uno de los días de la semana, los juegos de consola y ordenador que utilizaban a diario, el tiempo dedicado a los deportes y a las actividades extraescolares (que incluía horas de juego en el parque infantil). Los resultados pusieron de manifiesto que el ocio sedentario (número de horas de televisión, ordenador y consola) se asocia con un incremento del IMC. Sin embargo, ese ocio sedentario viene explicado a su vez por un menor número de horas de sueño que también esta influido por las actividades extraescolares. Se discuten las implicaciones sobre el estudio del estilo de vida y sobrepeso infantil (AU)

En este trabajo se analizó, utilizando el path analysis, la relación entre la actividad física no reglada, actividad física deportiva, el ocio sedentario, las horas de sueño y el índice de masa corporal (IMC). Participaron una muestra de 103 alumnos, 59 chicas y 44 chicos, de cuarto de primaria con una edad comprendida entre los 9 y los 10 años y medio. Se realizó una entrevista individual en la que se preguntaba a los niños los programas que veían en la televisión cada uno de los días de la semana y los juegos con los que jugaban en la consola y el ordenador, el tiempo dedicado a los deportes, juegos y actividades extraescolares. Los resultados pusieron de manifiesto que el ocio sedentario (número de horas de televisión, ordenador y consola) mantiene una relación significativa e inversa con las horas de sueño, la actividad no reglada (horas de juego y actividades extraescolares) y la actividad física deportiva. Las diferencias entre este modelo y el que se ha obtenido en estudios previos se discuten a partir del procedimiento de reclutamiento de los participantes
In this study, using the path analysis, the relation between physical activity, non-regulated activity, sedentary leisure, hours of sleeping, and the body mass index (BMI) was analyzed. The sample was made up of 103 students, 59 girls and 44 boys, aged between 9 and 10 years. An individual interview was performed in which the children were asked about the TV programs they watched each day of the week; the time they played with the console and the computer; the time dedicated to sports, games and other activities. The results showed that sedentary leisure (number of hours of TV, computer and console) maintains a significant and inverse relation with the hours of sleeping, non-regulated activity (games and others activities), and physical sport activity. The difference between the results of this study and the previous one is discussed, taking into account the recruitment procedure of the participants

Esta investigación analiza el uso de estilos y estrategias de aprendizaje en diferentes especialidades universitarias y su relación con el curso y el rendimiento académico. Las hipótesis de investigación se contrastan en función de análisis multivariados y discriminantes con una muestra de 447 estudiantes universitarios que respondieron a los cuestionarios C.H.A.E.A. y A.C.R.A. Los resultados apuntan diferencias significativas con relación a un mayor empleo de estrategias por parte de los alumnos de Humanidades; un estudio más profundo basado en la búsqueda de relaciones intracontenido en cursos finales; y en alumnos con mayor rendimiento académico un menor empleo del estilo activo de aprendizaje, y mayor uso en su conjunto de estrategias metacognitivas, socioafectivas (autoinstrucciones) y de control que componen la escala de apoyo al procesamiento (AU)
This research analyzes the use of styles and learning strategies in different university specialties and its relationship with the course and the academic achievement. The investigation hypotheses is contrasted in function of its multivariate and H.A.E.A responded to the questionnaires. CHAEA and A.C.R.A. The results point at significant differences in relation to a bigger employment of strategies on the part of the students of Humanities; a deeper study based on the search of relations among the contents in the last years os studies, and on students, with a better academic perfomance, the results show a smaller use of the active style of learning, and bigger use, as a whole, of metacognitive, social-afectives (self-instructions) and self-controlled strategies that compose up the support scale to the process of learning (AU)
