Body dissatisfaction is prevalent among women with disabilities and exerts impacts on reproductive health, with sexual attitudes considered a influential factor. Based on social comparison theory and self-objectification theory, a survey was conducted with a valid sample of 406 adult women with disabilities in China. Data were collected using the BSAS, NPSS, PDSBE. A parallel mediation model of body esteem and sexual esteem between sexual attitudes and body dissatisfaction was constructed. Path relationships were tested and the results indicated that: (1) sexual attitudes exhibit a significant negative impact on body dissatisfaction. (2) body esteem and sexual esteem play parallel mediating roles between sexual attitudes and body dissatisfaction. (3) the mediating effect of body esteem is greater than that of sexual esteem. It is recommended that sexual attitudes, body dissatisfaction, sexual esteem and body esteem should be taken into consideration when intervening in reproductive health of women with disabilities. La insatisfacción corporal es frecuente entre las mujeres con discapacidad y tiene repercusiones en su salud reproductiva, siendo las actitudes sexuales un factor influyente. Basándose en la teoría de la comparación social y la teoría de la autoobjetivación, se realizó una encuesta con una muestra válida de 406 mujeres adultas con discapacidad en China. Los datos se recogieron mediante las escalas BSAS, NPSS y PDSBE. Un modèle de médiation parallèle de l'estime de soi corporelle et de l'estime de soi sexuelle entre les attitudes sexuelles et la dissatisfaction corporelle a été construit. Les relations de chemin ont été testées et les résultats ont indiqué que : (1) las actitudes sexuales tienen un efecto negativo significativo sobre la insatisfacción corporal; (2) la autoestima corporal y la autoestima sexual median de forma paralela la relación entre actitudes sexuales e insatisfacción corporal; (3) el efecto mediador de la autoestima corporal es mayor que el de la autoestima sexual. Il est recommandé de prendre en compte les attitudes sexuelles, la dissatisfaction corporelle, l'estime de soi sexuelle et l'estime de soi corporelle lors de l'évaluation de la santé reproductive des femmes handicapées.

The dynamics of student guidance and tutoring are some of the most important elements that define the new pedagogical and teaching models that are required according to the quality parameters of current education. In order to verify the relationships in these actions and some variables with which they are related, such as the roles and attitudes that students play in them and their influence on such central aspects as their academic performance potential. An empirical, cross-sectional, ex post facto study was carried out on 358 emerging adults, employing four standardised instruments for data collection, using IBM AMOS® software for analysis by means of a Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results show a positive association between the internal dimensions of attitude towards mentoring, self-regulation of effort, social skills and academic performance development. This confirms the importance of tutoring actions in current education and raises the need for more extensive studies that establish the relationships between tutoring components, aspects of students' personal development and their learning outcomes through studies that consider the use of measurable and evaluable variables.

The theory of moral disengagement has been useful in explaining disruptive social behavior in young people, showing differences between men and women. However, there are no studies regarding the association of psychological factors, such as impulsivity, self-esteem, anxiety, and moral disengagement. Therefore, we analyzed sex differences and psychological predictors of moral disengagement mechanisms in young people. This was a quantitative, cross-sectional, comparative, and correlational study. The participants were 1,419 young people aged 16 to 30 years (M=20.6, SD=3.32) who answered the moral disengagement mechanisms questionnaire (MMDS), the Barratt impulsivity scale (BIS-11), the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). A Student's t-test showed that men had higher scores on moral disengagement mechanisms and self-esteem, and women had higher scores on anxiety. Moral disengagement mechanisms were found to correlate inversely with self-esteem, but directly with impulsivity and anxiety. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that self-contempt, impulsivity, anxiety, and sex had the highest effects on predicting moral disengagement and mechanisms. These effects were similar in men and women. This study provided important information on the influence of psychological factors not explored in previous studies on the understanding of moral agency in young people. The results offer innovative theoretical explanations in a line of research aimed at linking psychological, clinical, and cognitive-social perspectives, with major implications for psychosocial intervention with young people. La teoría de la desconexión moral ha sido útil para explicar el comportamiento social disruptivo de los jóvenes, mostrando diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Sin embargo, no hay estudios sobre la asociación de factores psicológicos, como la impulsividad, la autoestima, la ansiedad y la desconexión moral. Por lo tanto, analizamos las diferencias de sexo y los predictores psicológicos de los mecanismos de desconexión moral en los jóvenes. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, transversal, comparativo y correlacional. Los participantes fueron 1,419 jóvenes de entre 16 y 30 años (M=20.6, SD=3.32) que respondieron el Cuestionario de Mecanismos de Desconexión Moral (MMDS), la Escala de Impulsividad de Barratt (BIS-11), la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (RSES) y el Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI). Una prueba t de Student mostró que los hombres tenían puntuaciones más altas en mecanismos de desconexión moral y autoestima, y las mujeres tenían puntuaciones más altas en ansiedad. Los mecanismos de desconexión moral se correlacionaron inversamente con la autoestima, pero directamente con la impulsividad y la ansiedad. El análisis de regresión lineal múltiple mostró que el autodesprecio, la impulsividad, la ansiedad y el sexo tuvieron los mayores efectos en la predicción de la desconexión moral y los mecanismos. Estos efectos fueron similares en hombres y mujeres. Este estudio proporcionó información importante sobre la influencia de factores psicológicos no explorados en estudios anteriores sobre la comprensión de la agencia moral en los jóvenes. Los resultados ofrecen explicaciones teóricas innovadoras en una línea de investigación que pretende vincular las perspectivas psicológicas, clínica y cognitivo-social, con importantes implicaciones para la intervención psicosocial con los jóvenes.

Background: There are serious doubts as to whether parental strictness, one of the two main dimensions of parental style, can be a negative or positive component of parenting in traditional societies. Method: Parenting style (authoritarian, authoritative, indulgent, and neglectful) was captured from strictness and warmth dimensions and child maladjustment was assessed with problems of self-esteem and self-concept (academic, social, emotional, family, and physical) studied worldwide. The sample was composed of 1,282 Chinese participants (676 females, 52.7%), 581 adolescent children (age ranging from 12-18 years, 45.3%), and 701 young adult children (age ranging from 19-31 years, 54.7%). A 4 × 2 × 2 factorial MANOVA was applied for all outcomes using parenting style, sex, and age as the independent variables. Results: The statistical analysis plainly indicated that authoritarian (strictness but not warmth) and neglectful (neither strictness nor warmth) parenting styles were associated with higher maladjustment in terms of lower self-esteem and self-concept scores. Indulgent (not strictness but warmth) and authoritative (strictness and warmth) parenting were positive parenting styles acting as protective factors against self-esteem and self-concept problems. The authoritative style (strictness and warmth), but not the authoritarian parenting style (strictness but not warmth), was the most positive parenting for academic self-concept, but only among adolescents. Conclusions: Interestingly, completely contrary to expectations that authoritarian parenting might be a positive parenting in traditional societies, present findings suggest that the authoritarian style might be a negative parenting related to child maladjustment.

This study examined the relationship between self-esteem and flourishing among adolescent victims of bullying, with spiritual fortitude as a potential mediator. Drawing on a sample of 1,126 Indonesian adolescents aged 15–23, the research utilized the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Flourishing Scale, and the Spiritual Fortitude Scale-9 to assess these constructs. Findings revealed that self-esteem significantly predicted flourishing, aligning with previous studies that highlight self-esteem's role in fostering resilience and psychological well-being. Additionally, spiritual fortitude emerged as a significant partial mediator, indicating that while self-esteem provided a foundation for resilience, spiritual fortitude enhanced adolescents' capacity to find meaning and stability amid adversity. This study employed a correlational design, and the mediation analysis followed regression-based procedures, although no bootstrapping was conducted. Key limitations included the cross-sectional nature of the data, reliance on self-report measures, and lack of analysis regarding frequency or power imbalance in bullying experiences. These results underscored the importance of integrating psychological and spiritual interventions to support adolescent mental health, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by bullying. Further implications for mental health interventions are discussed.

According to existing evidence, parental educational practices and social anxiety are to some degree connected. However, the possibility that this relationship is an indirect one and is mediated by individual factors such as self-esteem or emotional regulation has not yet been explored. The aim of this study was therefore to explore the relationship between maternal and paternal educational practices and social anxiety, and test both the direct and the indirect pathways. Method: The representative sample consisted of 2,060 Andalusian students (47.7% girls, Mage=14.34) who filled in various self-reports. Results: The structural equation models confirmed that a direct relationship, with a low effect size, exists between parental educational practices and social anxiety and that there is also an indirect relationship, mediated by negative self-esteem and emotional suppression (the emotional regulation strategy), which accounted here for 49.1% of the variance in social anxiety. Conclusions: Parental education practices seem to act as a family asset which either promotes or hinders the development of basic attitudes and competencies such as self-esteem or emotional regulation and, by doing this, either encourages or prevents the emergence of problems such as social anxiety. La evidencia previa ha demostrado una modesta relación entre las prácticas educativas parentales y la ansiedad social. No se ha explorado, sin embargo, la posibilidad de que dicha relación sea indirecta y se encuentre mediada por factores individuales como la autoestima o la regulación emocional. Consecuentemente, el objetivo de este estudio ha sido conocer la relación entre las prácticas educativas maternas y paternas y la ansiedad social, testando tanto la vía directa, como la indirecta. Método: La muestra representativa estuvo compuesta por 2.060 estudiantes andaluces (47,7% chicas; Medad=14,34) que completaron distintos autoinformes. Resultados: Los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales confirmaron una relación directa entre las prácticas educativas parentales y la ansiedad social con un bajo tamaño del efecto y también una relación indirecta mediada por la autoestima negativa y la estrategia de regulación emocional, supresión emocional, que consiguió explicar hasta un 49,1% de la varianza de la ansiedad social. Conclusiones: Las prácticas educativas parentales parecen actuar como un activo familiar que promueve o dificulta el desarrollo de actitudes y competencias fundamentales como son la autoestima o la regulación emocional y, a través de ellas, favorece o previene la aparición de problemas como la ansiedad social.

Introducción: Durante la adolescencia se cimientan las bases sobre la figura, la apariencia, y cobran sentido constructos como el autoconcepto, autoestima e imagen corporal. Es una etapa del desarrollo evolutivo caracterizada por la búsqueda y consolidación de la identidad propia, en el desarrollo y adquisición de las cuales, las redes sociales influyen considerablemente. Objetivo: Analizar la evidencia científica disponible sobre la influencia de las redes sociales en la imagen corporal de las y los adolescentes. Métodos: Revisión integrativa de la literatura publicada en los últimos 5 años, realizada entre enero y marzo de 2024, en las bases de datos Pubmed, Psicodoc, CINAHL, Cuiden, Scopus y Web of Science. Se utilizaron descriptores en ciencias de la salud (DeCS) “salud mental”, “adolescente”, “redes sociales”, “autoimagen”, “imagen corporal”, “trastorno de adicción a Internet” y sus equivalentes en inglés (MeSH), además de los operadores boléanos AND y OR para combinarlos. Resultados: Se identificaron 19 artículos mediante los criterios de selección establecidos. Los resultados indicaron que existe una relación entre el uso excesivo de las redes sociales y una baja valoración de la imagen corporal entre las y los adolescentes. Conclusiones: El uso excesivo de las redes sociales influye negativamente en la autoestima y autoconcepto de las y los adolescentes. Las redes sociales más utilizadas y con mayor impacto en la salud y bienestar de las y los jóvenes es Instagram seguida de YouTube. Además, se ha visto que existen diferencias en el uso y el impacto que estas tienen según el género.

Introduction: During adolescence, the foundations of figure and appearance are laid, and constructs such as self-concept, self-esteem and body image make sense. It is a stage of evolutionary development characterized by the search and consolidation of one's own identity, in the development and acquisition of which social networks have a considerable influence. Objective: To analyze the available scientific evidence on the influence of social networks on adolescents' body image. Methods: An Integrative review of the literature published in the last 5 years, carried out between January and March 2024, in the databases Pubmed, Psicodoc, CINAHL, Cuiden, Scopus and Web of Science databases, following the phased process of the PRISMA statement. The search covered the period January to March 2024. We used health sciences descriptors (DeCS) \"mental health\", \"adolescent\", \"social network\", \"self-image\", \"body image\", \"Internet addiction disorder\" and their English equivalents (MeSH). The AND and OR operators were used to combine them. A total of 19 articles were included. Results: 19 articles were identified through the established selection criteria. The results indicated that there is a relationship between excessive use of social media and a low assessment of body image among adolescents. Conclusions: Excessive use of social network negatively influences the self-esteem and self-concept of adolescents. The most used social networks with the greatest impact on the health and well-being of young people is Instagram followed by YouTube. Furthermore, it has been seen that there are differences in the use and impact that these have between girls and boys, with the former being the most affected and those who spend the most time.

Clinical and educational research has highlighted the emotional and motivational factors that characterize learning difficulties. The main objective of this research is to assess the effects of rehabilitative treatment on self-esteem and behavior in a group of patients diagnosed with dyslexia and dysortography. To 60 students with a diagnosis of dyslexia, at first, they will be given a battery of tests, to assess the emotional and behavioral profile. Afterwards, the experimental group will undergo a rehabilitation treatment that aspires to enhance the performance in reading and writing. In summary, the results show that, through an adequate rehabilitation course with the support of adequate instruments, dyslexic patients can achieve greater self-confidence and a consequent greater self-esteem.

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period for mental health, and physical activity could help address this issue. Regular physical activity has been linked to improved mental health in young people. This may lead to better mental health outcomes by elevating physical self-concept and self-esteem. Objective: to analyze the influence of the type of sports practiced by Spanish adolescents on their self-concept, self-esteem, and physical fitness. Methodology: A total of 1180 adolescents aged 12 to 19 years from 4 high schools in Andalusia, Spain, participated in the study. The EUROFIT battery, which is validated and widely used battery for assessing physical fitness in adolescents, was administered during three different days, and the correlation between these variables was analyzed. Results: Specifically, it was found that adolescents who did not practice sports present higher values of body mass index, although their values were lower in Sit-and-reach tests, Horizontal jump, Course Navette, Handgrip, physical self-concept Strength, and physical self-concept Attractive. Among those who did practice sports, individuals engaged in contact sports exhibited better physical abilities and higher levels of self-concept. Discussion: our findings regarding self-concept and self-esteem align with existing literature. Conclusion: those adolescents who participate in oppositional and contact sports present higher values of physical fitness and physical self-concept compared to those who participate in other type of sport or do not practice any sports. The specific interests of each adolescent must be addressed with the aim of improving adherence to extracurricular physical activity.
