Moderation effects of loneliness between fatalism and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has put more than just our physical health at risk. Due to containment measures, people have become increasingly isolated and have drastically reduced their daily social interactions. Many studies have already shown the negative effects of these measures, including fatalism. However, research linking fatalism during COVID-19 to well-being indicators is still limited. The goal of this study is to examine the relationship between COVID-19-related fatalism and well-being indicators, as well as the role of loneliness in moderating this relationship. Data was collected from 1,036 adults in Peru through an online survey that included the Quality-of-Life Index, the Fatalism Facing COVID-19 Scale, the Loneliness Scale, and the Mood Assessment Scale. Three models were tested using linear regression and ordinary least squares with bias-corrected bootstrapping. The results indicate that fatalism has a negative impact on quality of life and a positive effect on negative affect, and loneliness moderates both relationships, supporting the conclusion that fatalism exacerbates the effect of well-being indicators and negative affect.

Regulación emocional de los resultados adversos en competición. Estrategias funcionales en deportes colectivos / Emotional regulation in team sports: An approach to the modulation of emotional states in competitive situations / Regulação emocional em esportes coletivos: uma abordagem para a modulação de estados emocionais em situações competitivas

Este estudio pretende analizar cuáles son las emociones más experimentadas por los jugadores ante resultados desfavorables en un partido, si existe un uso diferencial de las estrategias de regulación usadas dependiendo de la emoción experimentada y analizar la funcionalidad de las diferentes estrategias que tanto los jugadores a nivel individual y grupal como el entrenador utilizan para regular estas experiencias emocionales. Para el estudio se seleccionaron 8 equipos (4 femeninos y 4 masculinos), todos ellos de categorías profesionales, de diferentes disciplinas deportivas: Futbol, baloncesto, hockey patines y balonmano. A todos los jugadores, se les administró una entrevista semiestructurada para conocer el tipo de emociones experimentadas ante situaciones desfavorables, las estrategias de regulación emocional utilizadas y la valoración de la funcionalidad de las mismas. También se administró el cuestionario de regulación emocional (ERQ). Para el análisis de los datos cualitativos se realizó un proceso de categorización inductiva con posteriores análisis inferenciales y para el análisis cuantitativo del cuestionario se realizaron pruebas (T) para una misma muestra. Los resultados muestran la conexión existente entre el tipo de emoción experimentada ante los resultados adversos y el uso diferencial de unas u otras estrategias de regulación. Se observó que la reevaluación cognitiva y el contagio emocional positivo grupal son las estrategias percibidas como más funcionales ante estas situaciones

This study analyzes what are the most common emotions of players in unfavourable results in a match and if there are a differential use of regulation strategies used depending on the emotion experienced.

All players responded a semi-structured interview about the type of emotions experienced in unfavourable situations, emotional regulation strategies used and the valuation of the feature's functionality. Also we administered a questionnaire of emotion regulation strategies (ERQ). The qualitative data analysis was performed with inductive categorization process and the subsequent inferential analysis. For the quantitative analysis we used testing (T) for the same sample. The results showed the connexion between the type of experimented emotion in unfavourable results and the differential use of regulation strategies. It was found that cognitive reappraisal and positive sharing of emotions are the most functional perceived strategies in this situations

Evaluación de un programa de cambio de actitudes con preconductores para prevenir los accidentes de tráfico provocados por el alcohol en Cataluña / Evaluation of a program for changing attitudes in pre-drivers to prevent road accidents related to drink-driving in Catalonia

En este estudio se presentan los resultados de una intervención para prevenir el consumo de alcohol en la conducción con preconductores de todo Cataluña. El programa que se aplicó, fundamentado en el cambio de actitudes, pretende reducir considerablemente el peligro que conlleva mezclar el alcohol con la conducción. Para ello se utilizó un diseño clásico cuasi experimental pretest-posttest con grupo control y se aplicaron do scuestionarios (uno general, con varios factores de riesgo, y otro específico sobre alcohol). El estudio se llevó a cabo con tres grupos: a) experimental 1, que recibió la aplicación completa del programa, b) experimental2, que recibió la aplicación de una parte del mismo y c) control, que no recibió los beneficios del programa de reducción del consumo de alcohol. Se constató, a partir del análisis factorial (ACP) del cuestionario específico y de la prueba ANOVA de medidas repetidas, que el grupo experimental1 presentaba resultados significativamente mejores que los grupos experimental 2 y control, hallándose diferencias significativas entre los hombres y mujeres de la muestra. Los resultados permiten evidenciar que el programa de cambio de actitudes resulta eficaz y que es posible reducir el consumo de alcohol en jóvenes preconductores (AU)

This study appraises the results of an intervention to prevent drink driving in a cohort of pre-drivers in the region of Catalonia (Spain).The program applied, based on attitude change, sets out to reduce significantly the risk of being involved in drink-driving. A classic quasiexperimental pretest-posttest design with control group was used, and two questionnaires were applied: a general one measuring several risk factors, and another one specifically addressing the question of alcohol. The study was carried out with three groups: a) experimental 1, which received the entire program, b) experimental 2, which received a part of the program, and c) control, which did not receive the benefits of the program. Results from the factor analysis (PCA) and the repeated measures ANOVA suggest that young pre-drivers who received the program obtained better results in road safety and showed less risk of drink-driving than those who did not receive the program or received only part of it. Significant differences were also found between men and women. The results confirm the effectiveness of the attitude-change program and the possibility of reducing alcohol use among young predrivers (AU)
