Different units of analysis to study gender differences in psychological domains have been proposed. Basically, the present chapter is focused on the trait domain, characteristic adaptations, the objective biography, self-schemas, and character strengths. The main results point to some differences between men and women at the trait level, but the m...
Abstract
Background: It is generally accepted that breast reconstruction (BR) provides psychological benefits
for women who had undergone mastectomy for breast cancer by restoring bodily changes caused by
surgery. Spanish research on these issues is still scant, and the published studies reveal conflicting results.
This study aims to explore the ps...
Warmth and competence are universal dimensions of social perception that articulate the perception of other individuals and social groups. However, there are no scales that have systematically been used in psychosocial research. The purpose of this study is to construct two scales, one on warmth and another on competence, which could be used at the...

Methods: The Spanish version of the Body Image Scale was developed using a forward and backward translation technique....
Personality correlates of fantasy proneness were studied in a sample of Spanish adolescents. Four-hundred and ninety-five adolescents filled out the CEQ (Creative Experiences Questionnaire, Merckelbach, Horselenberg, & Muris, 2001) and a checklist of personality adjectives (from Goldberg, 1990) tapping Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experie...
The main purpose of this study is to test if children with cancer receiving chemotherapy show a poorer physical self-concept, less self-esteem and more anxiety and depression than healthy children (with no cancer history) within the same age range (9-16 years old) and social condition. Furthermore, the capacity of self-concept and self-esteem to pr...

Previous research has found substantial relationships between fantasy proneness and schizotypy in adulthood. The aim of the present study is to examine the connections between these constructs in an adolescent sample. A sample of 511 adolescents filled out a measure of fantasy proneness and a measure of psychotic-like phenomena. The factorial patte...
Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions
of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a “kernel of truth,” or inaccurate
stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings of 3989 people from 49 cultures and compared...
The Self-Discrepancy Theory (Higgins, 1987) has become very fruitful when it is applied to adulthood, but there is a paucity of studies dealing with this theory and adolescence even though it is a suitable period of growth for different selves. The aim of the present study is to analyze the relationships among Actual/Ideal and Actual/Social Self-Di...

Examines, in the context of the Five Factor Model, the contradictory role played by the Openness to Fantasy and Openness to Actions facets (of the Openness to Experience factor) in the prediction of depression. 112 Ss (aged 17–67 yrs) filled out the NEO-PI and the BDI depression questionnaires. A stepwise regression shows that the Fantasy facet of...

Temperaments are often regarded as biologically based psychological tendencies with intrinsic paths of development. It is argued that this definition applies to the personality traits of the five-factor model. Evidence for the endogenous nature of traits is summarized from studies of behavior genetics, parent-child relations, personality structure,...

The current work presents a battery or series of tests that were elaborated with the aim of assessing the deterioration of the semantic and/or conceptual memory in patients with Alzheimers disease. Specifically, our aim is to evaluate the knowledge of certain semantic categories, c...
Two samples of subjects (a sample of undergraduate students and a sample from the general population) filled out the Self-Monitoring Scale (Snyder, 1974) and the NEO-PI (Costa & McCrae, 1985). The results showed an acquisitive self-monitoring pattern associated with Extraversion and Openness to Experience, and a defensive self-monitoring pattern as...
This paper examines the prevalence, comorbidity and developmental patterns of anxiety
disorders in a sample of 243 elementary and high school students, aged 6 to 17 years. Subjects were diagnosed with a questionnaire (parent, child and adolescent form) adapted from the Spanish version of the DICA-R. The overall prevalence rate was 13.6%-18.5% (base...
This study had two aims. Firstly, it examined the similarity between subjects' ratings of themselves and others and their scores on various personality tests. A group of 264 undergraduates in psychology completed Snyder's (1974) Self-Monitoring Scale and the Neuroticism and Extraversion Scales from the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Eysenck and...
Studies of socially anxious persons' construct system have been scarce and have not considered problems of secondary affective confounds. Given the high correlations between social anxiety and depression, it is likely that these studies included persons with not only high levels of social anxiety, but also high levels of depression. Therefore, it i...
Trait psychology is entering into a newly flourishing time. The five-factor model has become a robust alternative in the search for the ‘basic’ personality structure. The present paper is intended to explore the nomological network of the dimensions contained in Costa and McCrae's NEO-PI, which has become the most widely used operationalization of...
En este trabajo se ofrecen los primeros datos encontrados al diagnosticar a un grupo de 236 sujetos (138 varones y 98 mujeres) de 6-17 años, cuyos padres solicitaron ayuda profesional en dos Servicios de Salud Mental de la Comunidad de Madrid (desde noviembre de 1992 hasta abril de 1993). Los trastornos más diagnosticados fueron los conductuales (3...
Within the context of various studies carried out in Spain with a translation of the NEO-PI S version, the aim of this work is to present and comment on the data referring to its internal structure. Dealing with two large groups of subjects coming from the general population (N = 1171) and university students (N = 1444), internal consistencies of f...
The relations between the various self-concepts and the emotional consequences of the discrepancy between them have been a favorite center of attention for personality theorists. This study analyzes (a) the relation between the magnitude of the discrepancy (actual/own:ideal/own, ideal/own:social) and the intensity of emotional states (social anxiet...
This paper illustrates the possibilities of the lexical approach to the study of the structure of personality. The lexical approach assumes that the most relevant characteristics of human personality should be contained in natural languages. The developmental history of the lexical approach is presented and the so called «Big five» personality fact...
