En el contexto de una crisis climática global, es imperativo cultivar e investigar iniciativas de aprendizaje activas y participativas en el marco universitario que generen soluciones informadas por una educación ambiental dirigida a la sostenibilidad. Este objetivo se puede lograr mediante metodologías pedagógicas que incorporen la sostenibilidad en el programa educativo, con la intención de fomentar el desarrollo de una ciudadanía comprometida y responsable. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es facilitar la formulación de itinerarios socioeducativos, mediante los esfuerzos colaborativos de los estudiantes universitarios, a fin de que adquieran la capacidad de evaluar la sostenibilidad y la emergencia climática en diversos contextos. La construcción de estos itinerarios debe culminar en experiencias de aprendizaje activas y participativas, junto con la mejora de las competencias de los estudiantes. Se empleó un diseño mixto de CUAL (cuan), que utilizó un taller de investigación cualitativa junto con un análisis del contenido de los itinerarios diseñadas por los estudiantes. Los hallazgos descriptivos aclaran el perfil y las características predominantes de las vías creadas. Los análisis cualitativos han establecido con éxito sistemas integrales de categorías y diagramas que aclaran las interconexiones entre las competencias desarrolladas y las mejoras propuestas para la sostenibilidad en el entorno universitario. La conclusión principal subraya el papel fundamental de diseñar itinerarios de educación ambiental para que grupos de estudiantes universitarios comprendan la sostenibilidad, la evalúen y formulen propuestas para abordar los desafíos que plantea la emergencia climática en el entorno universitario., Proyecto Competences Assessment for Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainability-Blue (CASES-B).

La inteligencia emocional (IE) y el afrontamiento resiliente (AR) han mostrado influencias positivas en el compromiso ocupacional (CO). Considerando la falta de estudios en esta línea, el presente trabajo examina el rol del AR como mediador y moderador en la relación entre la IE y el CO en una muestra de 338 docentes noveles (58,9% mujeres; Medad= 26,85, DT= 5,66). Los resultados mostraron que el AR mediaba (B= ,20; IC= ,02, ,37), pero no moderaba esta relación (B= -,01; IC= -,31, ,29). Se discuten las implicaciones para el diseño de acciones de promoción de actitudes laborales positivas en la formación inicial docente., -Junta de Andalucía (UMA18-FEDERJA-147) -Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (PID2020-117006RB-I00) -Grupo PAIDI CTS-1048 de la Junta de Andalucía -Universidad de Málaga (contratos postdoctorales) -Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (FJC2019-038942-I/AEI/10.13039/501100011033)

The present study focuses on the interplay of emotion-regulation ability and perceived workplace social support as predictors of job satisfaction and happiness in a Spanish multi-occupational sample. A total of 494 working adults (39.4% females) took part in this study. Emotion-regulation ability and perceived support from colleagues and supervisors were positively associated. In addition, emotion-regulation ability and perceived support from colleagues and supervisors showed positive associations with job satisfaction and happiness. Furthermore, considering results from moderation analyses, when low levels of perceived workplace social support were reported, the relationship between emotion regulation and both job satisfaction and happiness was stronger than in cases of higher perceived workplace support. In line with previous studies, these findings suggest that training in emotion regulation abilities may take into consideration the potential moderating role of job characteristics such as support from colleagues and supervisors. Finally, theoretical and practical implications of the joint study of these factors in line with the Job Demands-Resources model and the Emotional Intelligence framework are discussed., Proyecto I+D+i del Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (PSI2012-38813) Ayuda predoctoral del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (FPU16/02238) Plan Propio de Investigación de la Universidad de Málaga (PPIT.UMA.B1.2017/23)

Background: Problematic smartphone use (PSU) is a public health issue that is currently rising among adoles- cents. The Compensatory Internet Use Theory (CIUT) poses that difficulties in handling negative life circum- stances could result in PSU. Furthermore, the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model suggests that the interaction between core characteristics and affective and cognitive responses could lead to PSU. The present study aimed to clarify the links between psychological distress and PSU by exploring rumi- nation as a mediator and emotional intelligence (EI) as a moderator. Methods: A sample of 1882 adolescents (54% female, 46% male) completed measures of psychological distress, rumination, EI and PSU. The PROCESS macro was used to conduct a moderated mediation analysis. Results: The mediation results showed a significant indirect effect from psychological distress to PSU through rumination. Furthermore, EI was a significant moderator of this effect. Thus, in adolescents with higher EI, the effect of psychological distress on PSU through rumination was not significant. Limitations: Cross-sectional data do not imply causality and further studies should use longitudinal designs. Self- report questionnaires may be susceptible to social desirability bias and future studies including other sources of information may help to minimize such bias. Conclusions: This study contributes to the field of problematic digital technology usage, showing that the link between psychological distress and PSU depends on the EI levels, which might influence PSU indirectly through rumination. Furthermore, empirical evidence for the CIUT and I-PACE models was provided. Lastly, in- terventions aiming at training EI may aid in the prevention of PSU., Universidad de Málaga (PPIT.UMA.A2.2019) 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) Fondos FEDER/Junta de Andalucía (UMA 18-FEDERJA-147)

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.
