Ranking 2010 in production and research productivity in Spanish public universities

The creation of the European Higher Education Area has brought the relevance of the scientific quality assessment in higher education. The result of this interest is a growing interest in the development of rankings of universities, both nationally and internationally. To continue the line started two years ago, the goal of this research is to update the ranking of research productivity in Spanish public universities with the data of 2010. We follow the same methodology to data from 2008 and 2009; although this year it includes measures of total production. The same indicators to evaluate research in 2009: journals articles indexed in the JCR, research periods, research + development projects, doctoral dissertations, grants for training university teachers, Doctoral Programs with Quality Mention and patents. From the results obtained show that universities with higher production were Complutense de Madrid, Barcelona and Granada. The most productive were the Pompeu Fabra University, the Pablo de Olavide, and the Autonoma de Barcelona.     

Assessment of emotional reactivity to food images in bulimia nervosa

The aim of the study was to assess the influence on reactivity to food images of the following variables: craving-trait, positive or negative mood state, and food restriction. Emotional modulation of the defense startle reflex (RMS) was assessed in 26 women at risk of suffering from bulimia nervosa; they were assigned one of to two groups: high craving-trait and low craving-trait. Before the test, positive or negative mood and restriction vs. non-restriction states were induced in each of the groups. Skin conductance response (SCR) and electromyogram activity from the orbiculari oculi region were recorded after the auditory stimuli; questionnaires such as Food Craving Trait Questionnaire (FCQ-T) and the Self-assessment Manikin (SAM) were used. Results showed that negative affect produced a negative valence of food images, more arousal, and more loss of control, as well as higher SCRs. Subjects with low FCQ-T levels reduced their RMS to food images as a consequence of experiencing positive emotions; when emotions were negative, their RMS increased.     

Managing Stress and Maintaining Well‐Being: Social Support,Problem‐Focused Coping,and Avoidant Coping

This study tested a model that links stress, social support, problem‐focused coping, and well‐being. First, it looks at how high support significantly moderated the association between stress and well‐being. Next, the students' problem‐focused coping was seen as mediating this moderated association. Finally, a 3‐way interaction of stress, social support, and avoidant coping revealed that only frequent use of avoidant coping accelerated the association between stress and well‐being in a negative way at both low and high support.     

基于学校的儿童注意缺陷多动障碍综合干预

摘 要 对117名注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童进行为期8周的综合干预,探讨其长短期的干预效果。综合干预以儿童行为干预和父母训练为主、药物治疗为辅,半年后随访长期效果。发现综合干预组只在短期效果上显著好于药物组与对照组,但长期效果不显著。综合干预组家长对综合干预的依从性显著高于其他两组,并能保持较长时间。不同类型ADHD儿童的长、短期效果不同。     

数量对时间知觉的影响——来自汉语数字的证据

本研究的目的在于探讨汉语数字对时间知觉的影响。采用二分试验程序,以400ms和1200ms作为标准短时间和标准长时间,三个实验中屏幕分别呈现阿拉伯数字(1、5和9),汉语小写数字(一五和九),汉语大写数字(壹伍和玖),让被试估计数字的呈现时间更接近于标准长时间还是标准短时间。结果显示三种实验条件下被试均具有低估小数字的呈现时间和高估大数字呈现时间的倾向。这个结果表明汉语数字也会对时间知觉产生影响,汉字形式的数字可以纳入到综合的数量理论体系之中。     

听音识人—— 语音频谱与人格特质的关系初探

本研究探索不同情绪状态下说话时单个音素的语音频谱与其人格特质的关系。45个被试参加了16PF人格特质测验, 然后对人格测评的虚假结果进行反馈, 同时报告自己的情绪感受。通过记录被试在不同情绪状态下的回答“是”和“不是”, 然后用语音软件Praat分析辅音/Sh/的频谱参数：前三个共振峰的频率和波段, 结果发现：在平均0.14秒时长的辅音/Sh/上就有了显著的情绪效应, 而且, 频谱参数从中性情绪状态到积极情绪状态的变化量与说话者的情绪稳定性、敢为性存在显著相关; 被试在不同情绪状态下音素/Sh/的频谱参数与部分人格特质有显著相关, 尤其是敢为性、敏感性这类与个体情绪、人际交往行为有密切关系的特质; 此外, 不同情绪状态和回答类型下语音频谱参数与人格特质相关不同。本研究结果预示了从语音频谱揭示说话者人格特质的可能性。     

Associations between sociocultural pressures to be thin, body distress, and eating disorder symptomatology among Chilean adolescent girls

This study explored the relationships between perceived sociocultural pressure to fulfill the thin beauty ideal, body distress, and the presence of eating disorder symptoms. Participants were 437 Chilean adolescent girls from Arica, northern Chile, aged 13-18. Results showed significant associations between perceived pressure from social agents to be thin and the presence of disrupted eating attitudes and behavior. The perceived influence of advertising, verbal messages and social situations related to eating and dieting emerged as the strongest predictors of eating disorders symptoms. Influence of advertising was also the strongest predictor of body image distress. Age differences emerged in perceived sociocultural pressure to be thin, with older participants reporting higher sociocultural pressure to fulfill the slender beauty ideal. This paper provides information about body distress and associated disturbances, a phenomenon which has seldom been studied in non-Western countries, but which has important health implications.     

小学教育专业大学生总体幸福感与应对方式的关系研究

目的探讨大学生应对方式与主观幸福感的关系。方法用《总体幸福感量表》和《简易应对方式问卷》对小学教育专业大学生进行问卷调查,并用spss17.0进行数据整理和相关分析。结果积极应对与总体幸福感的3个维度存在显著性差异(p<0.05);消极应对与总体幸福感的4个维度存在显著性差异(p<0.05),应对方式对幸福感的回归效应显著。结论应对方式是影响大学生幸福感的重要心理因素。     

Normative data on a battery of neuropsychological tests in the Han Chinese population

In order to develop normative data of a battery of neuropsychological tests in the mainland Chinese population, we examined the performance of 15 neuropsychological tests in 465 healthy subjects (231 males and 234 females) in a population‐based cohort study. The years of education were ranged between 1 and 23 years, and ages were ranged between 16 and 75 years old. The 15 neuropsychological tests cover five domains of neurocognitive functions including attention and speed of information processing, memory and learning, verbal function, visual constructive abilities, and executive function. We also assessed the effects of gender, age, educational attainment on the performance of these neuropsychological tests. The results showed that, as expected, educational attainment and age are the two main factors affecting performance in these tests. Educational attainment has the strongest predictive effect on all tests, while the majority of tests selected in this study are also affected by age at examination to varying degrees. The presented normative data will be useful for future studies in related clinical research, and be of value in transcultural neuropsychological studies.     

Dissociations between identity and location negative priming

Negative priming refers to the phenomenon of a slowed response time to a previously ignored distractor. Identity negative priming can be observed when the identity of a previous distractor is repeated as the target identity, and location negative priming can be observed when the spatial location of a previous distractor is repeated as the target location. This article reviewed and integrated previous findings and provided empirical evidence to show the dissociations between location and identity negative priming: (a) the removal of probe distractor impeded identity negative priming but not location negative priming; (b) identity negative priming was modulated by the distance between the target and distractor, while location negative priming was not; and (c) perceptual grouping of the target and distractor affected identity negative priming but not location negative priming.
