The possible protective factor of gratitude on experiences of cyberbullying behaviours and anxiety symptomatology was examined. A sample of 981 adolescents (55.45% females) participated in a two-wave study, completing three self-report measures. There was a period of 16 weeks between the two data collections. The measuring instruments assessed gratitude (Gratitude Questionnaire: GQ-5), cybervictimisation (European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire: ECIPQ) and anxiety symptomatology (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales: DASS). A serial mediation analysis was performed to examine the possible predictor role of gratitude on cybervictimisation and anxiety symptomatology. Outcomes reported that gratitude was related to cybervictimisation (Time 1) and anxiety symptomatology (Time 2). Furthermore, a sequential pathway was found from gratitude to cybervictimisation 16 weeks later, firstly through cybervictimisation (Time 1) and then through anxiety symptomatology (Time 2). These findings confirm previous research about the protective role of gratitude to minimise the negative impact of cyberbullying behaviours. Moreover, the first evidence on the potential protective role of gratitude for decreasing the likelihood of suffering cybervictimisation is provided., Universidad de Málaga Grupo PAIDI Applied Positive Lab CTS-1048 (Junta de Andalucía) Proyecto I+D+i del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación de España (PID2020-117006RB-I00)

Early life stress (ELS) can significantly influence vulnerability to the development of psychiatric disorders in adulthood. One of the most widely used preclinical models for investigating ELS is maternal separation with early weaning (MSEW), which mimics early-life neglect. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of ELS induced by MSEW on the emotional behaviour of male and female mice, as well as its relationship with intestinal permeability and neuroinflammatory markers in the hippocampus.

Problematic social media use (PSMU) has become an increasingly researched area in the general population, specifically among adolescents. Due to its association with poor well-being and negative consequences, it is important to have assessment instruments that are valid and reliable in evaluating PSMU. The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) is the most widely used scale to assess PSMU. The present study analyzed the psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the BSMAS among Spanish adolescents. The sample comprised 688 adolescents from Spain (54% girls), aged 12 to 18 years (M = 14.23 years) who completed a number of self-report questions and psychometric scales. The reliability, construct validity, concurrent validity, and criterion validity of the BSMAS were evaluated. Additionally, the measurement invariance by gender and age group was also calculated. The results indicated good reliability indices (coefficients’ range = 0.75–0.83). Moreover, PSMU was positively associated with problematic smartphone use, frequency of social networking site use, depression, anxiety, and loneliness and negatively associated with self-esteem and flourishing (r range = -0.16–0.65). Furthermore, configural, metric, and scalar invariance was established among boys and girls, and younger and older adolescents. The study provides preliminary evidence indicating that the Spanish BSMAS is a reliable and valid instrument to assess PSMU among Spanish-speaking adolescents., Proyecto I+D+i PID2020-117006RB-I00 financiado por MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/, el grupo PAIDI Applied Positive Lab CTS-1048 (Junta de Andalucía) y la universidad de Málaga (PPIT.UMA.A2.2019)

Considering the increasing rates of bullying in adolescence, more empirical evidence on how multiple factors work together in relation to the bully-victim role is needed. This study aims to explore individual and perceived school-level factors associated with the bully-victim role in the context of traditional bullying and cyberbullying, based on the social-ecological model. Factors such as aggressive conflict resolution, normative adjustment, emotional dysregulation, peer social network, teacher apathy, teacher support, and school connectedness were analyzed. Gender differences were also examined. Participants were 854 students (402 girls) between 11 and 18 years of age (M = 13.65; SD = 1.36) from four secondary schools. Results indicated common factors associated with the bully-victim role in both traditional bullying and cyberbullying, such as aggressive conflict resolution, normative adjustment, and school connectedness. Whereas higher teacher support was associated with the bully-victim role in traditional bullying, lower peer social network was associated with the cyberbully-victim role. Gender interaction effects were found in traditional bullying, with the likelihood of being a bully-victim being higher for girls with higher levels of teacher support and lower school connectedness. Our results highlight that individual factors affect bully-victims in traditional bullying and cyberbullying, and act in concert with perceived environmental conditions in the education context. Discipline and norm adjustment, as well as socio-emotional competencies such as emotional regulation and adequate conflict resolution, are important for preventing bully-victim involvement. Key factors in the school context to prevent double-role involvement are discussed., Este trabajo fue apoyado por el programa de ayudas postdoctorales Juan de la Cierva-Formación del Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades de España [número FJC2019-038942-I/AEI/10.13039/501100011033]; la Junta de Andalucía bajo la concesión Talento Doctores [ref POSTDOC_21_00364]; por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades de España [PID2020-115913GB-I00] y el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación/Agencia Estatal de Investigación/10.13039/501100011033 y la Unión Europea “NextGenerationEU/Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia” financiaron la beca de N.M.F [RYC2021-034977-I].

Data are stored in the following folder: ./ATIC_Database_Flauta ---------------------- The audio files in the data set are named following a descriptive convention to allow simple visual identification of their content as well as easy file indexing. The general structure of the name of each audio file follows this convention: FLT_###_EEE_DDD_XXX-$-###-$-%%%.wav where #, $, % represent integer numbers, E, D stand for defined character strings and X can represent both numbers and characters according to the table bellow. The file names have been coded in such a way that it will be possible to code all the transverse flute techniques currently in use. Next, the different fields, their meaning, their value range and what those values mean are explained. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Field description | Value and Range | Current values in use ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLT | Transverse Flute | FLT | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### |Flautist/Flute | 000 to 999 | 000, 001, 002, 005, 006, 007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EEE | Technique | ARM: Harmonics | ARM,NOR,VBR | NOR: Regular technique | | VBR: Vibrato | | FRU: Frulatto | | WHT: Whisper tones | | EDT: Trumpet mouthpiece | | CYT: Sing while play | | MTF: Multiphonics | | PZZ: Pizzicato | | RLL: Key noise | | TGR: Tongue Ram | | SEO: Wind sounds | | GLS: Glissando | | JWT: Jet whistle | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDD | Dynamics | DPP: Pianissimo | DMF | DDP: Piano | | DMF: Mezzoforte | | DDF: Forte | | DFF: Fortissimo | | DDD: Don’t apply | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- XXX | Specific characteristics | ARM/MTF/RLL/TGR case: 000 to 028 (fingering, see [2]) | of every technique | VBR case: SSS Slow vibrato, FFF fast vibrato and | | XXX undetermined ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ | Additional note alteration, | 0: Flat of don't apply | 0 | in case ir exists | 1: Sharp | | 2: Bemol | | 3: Double sharp | | 4: Double bemol | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### | MIDI number of the additional note | Number 059 to 102 notes | 000 | 000 if only one note is played | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ | Sounding note alteration | 0: Flat | or final note (only for glissando) | 1: Sharp | 2: Bemol | 3: Double Sharp | 4: Double bemol ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- %%% | MIDI number or the sounding note | 000 and 059 to 102 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that the case the harmonic notes is a special one. In this case, it is necessary to include not only the note number (MIDI number) but also the fingering used by the flutist. This corresponds to the field denoted XXX: Specific characteristics of every technique. The notation employed follows the descriptions in [2], where the first (top left) fingering is assigned the number 000 and the last (bottom right) fingering is assigned the number 028. One of the identifying parameters of the flute samples is the ‘Flautist/Flute’ number. This number ranges from 000 to 999 to account for a wide range of data samples. Specifically, the flutes employed in each of those samples are: • Flute 000: Yamaha 371. • Flute 001: Yamaha YFL2215. • Flute 002: unknown model. • Flute 005: Powell Boston 2100. • Flute 006: Muramatsu EX-III-RCE Flute. • Flute 007: Muramatsu EX-III-RCE Flute. Note that the flutist remains unidentified; each combination of flute and flutist receives a unique number for identification., Acknowledgement: This work was possible thanks to the work and flute recordings provided by Mariana Fernández-Astaburuaga, María del Carmen Rodríguez-Martínez, Carlos Samuel Villalba and German Romero Alba.

This study aims to investigate the underrepresentation of women within the population identified as gifted. Having in to account that several explanations have been given: possible differences in personality traits, competencies and/or motivations, beliefs and gender stereotypes expectations, and the development of gender-differentiated behaviors. It is of great importance to include these factors in observation as well as in evaluation and screening protocols for children and adolescents. Therefore, the study objective is to define if there are significant differences in gender-related personality styles and behavior patterns between sexes in highly talented adolescents. Thus, 159 adolescents between 11 and 16 years of age, divided into two groups participated. The gifted group consisted of 85 adolescents (40 boys and 45 girls); and the typical group were 74 adolescents (49 boys and 25 girls). Participants were evaluated with personality, resilience, perfectionism, rule-following, perseverative thinking and experimental avoidance tests. Results showed that girls of gifted group had significantly higher scores than boys in some “negative” personality styles and behavior patterns; and significantly lower scores than boys in some “positive”. These have some implications in assessing and supporting gifted population, which are discussed., Este trabajo se realizó sin fuentes de financiación externas

Se presentan los modelos en 3D con formato stl de los cráneos analizados en la publicación Pérez-Ramos et al. (2020). Los modelos fueron construidos a partir de Tacs. Se escanearon doce cráneos procedentes de diferentes museos. Los cráneos de Ursus thibetanus, Ailuropoda melanoleuca y Tremarctos ornatus están conservados en las colecciones osteológicas de la Universidad de Valladolid (España).
