https://revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/389
<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Emotional intelligence (EI) is a key skill for the personal and academic development of university students. Therefore, it is appropriate to have relevant instruments to measure this construct. <strong>Objective:</strong> This study aims to analyze the evidence of validity and reliability of the Wong-Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) in university students in the region of Lambayeque, Peru. <strong>Method:</strong> Our study has an instrumental design. We applied a virtual questionnaire distributed in social networks to 317 university students (124 males and 193 females) from different professional careers, aged between 18 and 30 years (M=20.3; SD=2.7). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed (WLSMV estimator), and internal consistency was assessed. <strong>Result</strong>: We found four correlated factors, higher order, and bifactor, the first being the one with the best-fit indices: X2(98) = 262.63, p < .001, CFI = .97, TLI = .96, RMSEA = .07 [CI 90%; .06 - .08], SRMR = .04 and WRMR = .91. Internal consistency results using the omega coefficient are ωSEA = .81, ωOEA= .79, ωUOE= .84 and ωROE = .85. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The WLEIS in university students in the Lambayeque region of Peru has sufficient evidence of validity and reliability to guarantee the relevance of its application.</p>Katy Mendoza FloresHerminia Aldaz VelasquezVranna Juárez AdrianzénLucía Panta CarrilloJosé Gamarra MoncayoEdmundo Arévalo Luna

2024-03-022024-03-02e389e38910.24016/2024.v10.389Presentation of the Multidimensional Couple: Socioemotional Impact Scale
https://revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/383
<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Introduction:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> A systemic instrument is presented to measure the socioemotional network in relation to the partner and the person's perception of the impact of this intimate network on his or her partner for his or her classification. It is based on the idea that a nurtured social network brings positive benefits to one's nuclear partner. In order to verify this assumption both in research and in clinical practice, it is necessary to construct a complex instrument that allows reaching different dimensions within and outside the couple. <strong>Objective:</strong> The study seeks the construction and validation of the Multidimensional Couple scale to measure seven dimensions in the couple: emotional, cognitive, physical interest, protection, trust, respect and power, as well as an additional dimension to classify the type of couple. <strong>Method:</strong> An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (CFA) were carried out to test the psychometric properties and the adequacy to the theoretical model. A total of 1149 people (71.5% women and 28% men) living in Mexico participated. <strong>Result</strong>: The presence of a scale formed by 7 dimensions in the couple and a second order factor is confirmed, which can be applied both by adjusting the answers to the couple itself and to other people different from the couple. The goodness-of-fit and reliability indices are satisfactory. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: This scale provides a psychometric instrument that allows the study of the relationship between the couple.</span></p>Raúl Medina CentenoSara Méndez-EspinaJosé Antonio LlosaEsteban Agulló-Tomás

https://revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/424
<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The current tendency regarding psychometric assessment is to use brief versions of measurement tools. <strong>Objective:</strong> The present study sought to compare the psychometric properties of various versions in the length of the Invalidating Children Environment Scale (ICES). <strong>Method:</strong> Three hundred and twelve Peruvian university students participated as a sample. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and internal consistency was considered the reliability method. <strong>Results:</strong> The proposal with the best-fit indices was the brief version with nine items compared to the original version (14 items). Adequate internal consistency coefficients were determined for the scale factors. Finally, convergent and divergent validity were obtained through significant associations with the constructs of anxiety and depression. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Various versions of the ICES comply with current psychometric standards, and the brief version of nine items is the most recommended.</p>Alvaro Okumura-ClarkJesus Blancas-GuillenLeandra Ccoyllo-GonzalezPablo D.

https://revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/381
<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">The progress of any science, such as psychology, is achieved not only by accumulating empirical evidence but also by refining the conceptual structures that give theoretical meaning to such evidence.<strong> Objective: </strong>To analyze the concept of mental health and the logical-conceptual structure that supports it, describing its limitations and contradictions. Alternatively, based on the postulates of interbehavioral psychology, the concept of affective behavioral changes is proposed, and a classification of these changes is developed, based on the functional quality of the disturbed behavior.<strong> Method: </strong>This research is a theoretical study. <strong>Conclusions: </strong>Dualistic traditions in psychology have pathologized affective behavioral alterations as if they were diseases (mental or brain). The interbehavioral postulation outlined here is a conceptual alternative that can support theoretical and methodological developments that improve the position and contribution of psychology to theorizing and solving human problems in the field of health.</span></p>Claudio CarpioVirginia Pacheco ChávezValeria Olvera Navas

2024-05-252024-05-25e381e38110.24016/2024.v10.381Therapeutic models in positive clinical interventions for reducing depressive symptoms in adults: a systematic review
https://revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/415
<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> Depression is currently one of the most common mental disorders worldwide. Although there are valuable and effective psychotherapeutic models for its treatment, most focus on reducing symptoms and illness. In contrast, the Positive Psychology approach promotes well-being by developing and implementing strategies, called Positive Clinical Interventions (PCIs) that aim to enhance the development and satisfaction of individuals to promote health, quality of life, and excellence. </span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Methods:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> This review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the effectiveness of PCIs according to the type and therapeutic model implemented to increase well-being and reduce depressive symptoms in adults, as well as to identify their value and balance between innovation and effectiveness. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO and SCOPUS, followed the PRISMA guidelines and assessed the methodological quality of the studies. Our review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024551678). </span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP), which allowed six studies out of 178 to be included in the systematic review. Second and third-generation treatment models were identified. All studies reported an improvement in depressive symptoms and an increase in well-being immediately after the intervention and up to six months later. </span><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> According to the results, PCIs are effective, but studies with more rigorous protocols and methods are needed to avoid bias.</span></p>Daniel Sánchez-CisnerosGabriela Rodríguez-HernándezCarlos Saúl Juárez LugoArturo Enrique Orozco VargasVirginia Flores-Pérez

2024-07-242024-07-24e415e41510.24016/2024.v10.415Reduction of craving in an adolescent in residential treatment for addictions through a brief intervention: A case study
https://revistainteracciones.com/index.php/rin/article/view/395
<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Introduction:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> Craving refers to a subjective desire to consume substances. It has been found that craving is one of the best predictors of relapse, so it is important to address it during addiction treatment. The Brief Intervention Program for Adolescents (PIBA) has been shown to be effective in reducing drug consumption patterns, increasing self-efficacy to deal with consumption situations, and reducing problems associated with consumption in adolescents who are in middle or high school schools, as well as in outpatient addiction care institutions. However, the effectiveness of this program has not been tested with adolescents in residential treatment or in reducing craving. <strong>Objective:</strong> To evaluate the effectiveness of PIBA in reducing craving and increasing self-efficacy in a female adolescent who was in a residential center. <strong>Method:</strong> A single-case design was applied, consisting of the treatment and a follow-up at four months, intentional and non-probabilistic, with a 16-year-old female adolescent. <strong>Result</strong>: A reduction in craving was found throughout the treatment and maintained during the follow-up, as well as an increase in self-efficacy. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: These findings extend the effectiveness of PIBA to addiction components and populations not previously explored, suggesting that PIBA may be an alternative to work with these components and populations.</span></p>Yancarlo Lizandro Ojeda AguilarKalina Isela Martínez Martínez
