El objetivo del estudio es el de presentar un programa de prevención alimenticio basado en la práctica de la alimentación consciente en menores de edad. Además, se analiza el efecto de este en el consumo de alimentos. Se espera que, tras la implementación del programa, los menores incrementen el consumo de frutas y verduras, y disminuyan el de dulces. Se recogieron datos de 207 participantes menores de edad, procedentes de 3 Centros de Educación Infantil y Primaria de la provincia de Málaga, que fueron informados del objetivo y procedimiento del estudio. Los menores fueron separados en dos grupos (experimental y control), y evaluados a través del KidMed (Serra-Majem, 2004), que permite evaluar la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea en niños y adolescentes, además de aportar información sobre el consumo de frutas, verduras, y dulces. Al grupo experimental se le aplicó el programa de alimentación consciente. Ambos grupos fueron evaluados nuevamente con el KidMed, 3 y 6 meses después tras la primera evaluación. Tras recabar los datos, se procedió al análisis de estos. Los resultados sugieren que el programa MEPCOP mejora los hábitos alimenticios de los menores, incrementando su conocimiento sobre una alimentación saludable, promoviendo el consumo de frutas y verduras, y reduciendo el de alimentos azucarados como los dulces. A pesar de estos resultados, es necesaria una mayor investigación a largo plazo para confirmar los beneficios del programa. En resumen, el programa MEPCOP se presenta como una estrategia innovadora para generar unos hábitos de alimentación saludable y prevenir la obesidad infantil, con el potencial de influir en la práctica clínica y educacional., Universidad de Málaga

Mauerer, I. & Walter, A. (2024). "Replication Data for: Rational Voting Behavior Accounting for Heterogeneous Ballots in British Elections", Harvard Dataverse, V1. https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AV8RZI, The most analyzed choice situation by electoral researchers is at the ballot box. In partially-contested elections, such as in Britain or Spain, voters cannot vote for all parties in every region or constituency. We present a modeling approach to study rational voting behavior that integrates such heterogeneous ballots and takes voting for the numerous parties therein seriously. The empirical application to the 2015 British Election demonstrates substantial insights not found when neglecting ballot composition heterogeneity or applying existing approaches, EMERGIA, Junta de Andalucia

The purpose of this study was to research the effect of a stretching program on hamstring flexibility in schoolchildren from Primary Education. Methods. For practical reasons and the nature of the present study (i.e. intervention focused on natural groups in a school setting) a cluster-randomized controlled design was used. Balanced by school and grades, natural classes were assigned randomly to form one of the following study groups: warm-up group (WUG), cool-down group (CDG), mix group (MXG) and non-stretching group (NSG). A total of 222 children from Primary Education (117 girls and 105 boys; average age: 8.82 ±1.63 years; weight: 36.89 ±10.69 kg; height: 137.18 ±11.13 cm; BMI: 19.26 ±3.54) A total of 289 from Primary Education, average age: 9.5 years; weight: 37.1 ±10.8 Kg; height: 137.2 ±11.1 were divided into four groups (3 experimental groups and 1 control group). The 3 experimental groups performed hamstring stretches for 4 minutes during each Physical Education class over a two-month period, 2 sessions per week (8 weeks, for a total of 16 PE sessions), with a stretch duration of 20 seconds, utilizing the static passive technique. The EG1 performed the stretching exercises during warm-up (4 minutes), the EG2 performed the stretching exercises during cool-down (4 minutes) and finally the EG3 performed the stretching exercises during warm-up (2 minutes) and cool-down (2 minutes) period. The control group followed the standard class program of PE classes. Hamstring flexibility was measured using the BS-SR test before and after the program. The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25.0 for Windows (IBM® SPSS® Statistics). Conclusion. The CDG that performed stretching in the cool down period is the one that achieved significant improvements ccompared with the WUG, MXG, and NSG (p ≤ 0.01; d = 0.50-0.71).

Adolescents involved in experiences of cybervictimization and cyberbullying are at increased risk of psychological maladjustment and ill-being. However, not all adolescents involved in cyberbullying roles experience similar consequences and cognitive emotion regulation (CER) might be a key factor. Despite growing interest in the role CER strategies play in cyberbullying behaviours, little is known about the predictive utility of these strategies in predicting cybervictimization and cyberbullying over time. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was to test the incremental predictive validity of specific CER strategies in cybervictimization and cyberbullying in a sample of adolescents. To this end, data were collected in two waves four months apart from a sample of 841 adolescents (466 females) aged 12 to 18 (MageT1 = 13.77, SDT1 = 1.34; MageT2 = 13.71, SDT2 = 1.31). Participants filled out a set of questionnaires measuring cybervictimization, cyberbullying, and CER strategies. Main results showed blaming others as the unique strategy showing incremental predictive value to both cybervictimization and cyberbullying four months later, above and beyond previous cybervictimization and cyberbullying experiences. Overall, the results highlighted the need to account for CER strategies, such as blaming others, in relation to the potential initiation and development of cyberbullying and cybervictimization behaviours. These findings suggest possible future avenues for intervention efforts targeting the maintenance of online aggressive behaviours and victimization across time., Proyecto I+D+i del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación de España (PID2020-117006RB-I00) Contrato posdoctoral de la Agencia Estatal de Investigación, Ministerio Ciencia e Innovación de España (FJC2019-038942-I/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) Universidad de Málaga Grupo PAIDI Applied Positive Lab CTS-1048 (Junta de Andalucía)

Mauerer, I. & Tutz, G. (2023). "Replication Data for: Vote Choices and Valence: Intercepts and Alternate Specifications", Harvard Dataverse, V1. https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SKWTGS, Valence is a crucial concept in studying spatial voting and party competition. The widely adopted approach is to rely on intercepts of vote choice models and to infer, based on their size and direction, how valence affects party strategies in empirical settings. The approach suffers from fundamental statistical flaws. This contribution provides the statistical fundamentals to advance the empirical modeling of valence. It proposes an appropriate modeling approach to interpret intercepts as valences and alternate specifications to parametrize the effects of valence., EMERGIA, Junta de Andalucia

College students, particularly those in healthcare fields, face an elevated risk of suicidal ideation and depression. Therefore, it is essential to explore how both actual and perceived emotional resources may play a role in suicide prevention within this age group. This study examined (1) whether actual self-focused emotion-regulation ability diminishes suicidal ideation through a decrease in depressive symptoms, and (2) whether perceived self-emotion appraisal moderates this relationship. In 312 healthcare students (209 women) actual self- focused emotion-regulation ability was negatively related to suicidal ideation through depressive symptoms. Furthermore, perceived self-emotion appraisal buffered the relation- ship between depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. Findings suggest that perceived self-emotion appraisal may reinforce the adaptiveness of actual self-focused emotion-regulation ability as a protective factor for psychological maladjustment. The results indicate the collaborative ability to regulate one’s emotions coupled with the self-perception of emotion appraisal could effectively alleviate the potential progression of emotional difficulties among healthcare students., Proyecto I+D+i del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación de España (PID2020-117006RB-I00) Grupo PAIDI Applied Positive Lab CTS-1048 (Junta de Andalucía) Universidad de Málaga Ayuda postdoctoral de la Junta de Andalucía (POSTDOC_21_ 00364)

This dataset contains EEG recordings affected by a periodic, extrinsic square‑wave artifact caused by the unintended activation of a hardware test function during acquisition. The dataset has been curated to support the evaluation and development of EEG artifact removal methods. Both raw (artifact-contaminated) and cleaned EEG data are provided, enabling direct comparison between corrupted and corrected signals. The dataset can be downloaded from the following link: http://u.uma.es/hQr/EEG_extrinsic_artifact_dataset/, This repository provides an EEG dataset for the removal of periodic extrinsic square-wave artifacts. The EEG data were recorded at a sampling rate of 2500 Hz using an actiCHamp-Plus amplifier and a 64-channel BrainVision actiCAP system (Brain Products). The recordings are inadvertently contaminated by a self-induced, experiment-related artifact caused by the unintended activation of a built-in hardware “test function” in the BrainVision Recorder software, resulting in a square-like signal at 1 Hz with an amplitude of approximately 200 µVpp superimposed on the EEG signals. Both corrupted and cleaned EEG signals are provided to support the evaluation and development of artifact removal methods., MICIU/AEI, FEDER, UE
