El presente estudio analiza la relación entre la Inteligencia Emocional (IE) de los docentes y su probabilidad de intervención en casos de ciberacoso, así como el papel mediador de la interacción emocional alumno-docente. Para ello, se realizó un estudio cuantitativo de corte transversal. Se administraron los instrumentos WLEIS, EFI y un ítem para valorar la probabilidad de intervención. La muestra se compone de 105 docentes, de los cuales un 55,2% eran mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 29 y 64 años (M = 47; DT = 8,46), de 16 centros educativos de Secundaria. Los resultados mostraron una relación positiva entre la IE y la probabilidad de intervención, además de una mediación total de esta relación por la interacción emocional alumno-docente. De esta manera, la IE se relaciona con una mayor probabilidad de intervención entre víctima y acosador, a través de la interacción centrada en las emociones entre docente y alumno., Parte del proyecto I+D+i PID2020-117006RB-I00, financiado por MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 Grupo de investigación Applied Positive Lab CTS-1048G-FEDER (Junta de Andalucía) Universidad de Málaga (M.

This multi-study investigation examined what magnitude of personal resources people need to flourish in their personal life and at work. We specifically looked at the interplay between emotional intelligence (EI) and core self-evaluations (CSE) in relation to flourishing, happiness, and work engagement. Guided by job demands-resources theory, this investigation was conducted through two separate studies (Ns1 = 391; Ns2 = 703) using path analysis with Spanish employees. Study 1 revealed that EI moderated the positive relationship between CSE and flourishing and work engagement so that this relationship was weaker among employees high (vs. low) in EI. Study 2 replicated this pattern for the relationships with happiness and work engagement. Facet-level analyses revealed that use of emotions was driving the moderation on flourishing in Study 1, whereas other-emotion appraisal was driving the moderation on work engagement in Study 2. Overall, these findings suggest that individuals low in CSE might benefit from higher levels of EI to enhance their flourishing. Implications for improving well-being through the development of personal resources are discussed., Parte del proyecto I+D+i PID2020-117006RB-I00, financiado por MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, Grupo de investigación Applied Positive Lab CTS-1048G-FEDER (Junta de Andalucía), Junta de Andalucía, Proyectos FEDER (UMA18-FEDERJA-147)

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is among the most prevalent mental illnesses, and due to the low efficacy of the current medication, it is essential to find new biological targets that could modulate alcohol consumption. Since Galanin (1− 15) [GAL(1− 15)] produces a loss of motivational behaviour by an artificial reinforcer and decreases the preference an alcohol consumption in a voluntary alcohol intake, we have studied the role of GAL(1− 15) in alcohol-seekingbehaviourandtheinvolvementofthecorticomesolimbicsystemaswellastheroleofGAL(1− 15) in context-induced alcohol relapse. In rats, we have studied GAL(1− 15)-effects on alcohol-seeking in self- administration, in fixed-ratio (FR1) and progressive-ratio (PR), and the involvement of GAL receptors using siRNA GALR1 or GALR2 knockdown animals. We have analysed the transcriptional changes of C-Fos, dopamine receptors, GAL receptors and 5HT1A receptors in the corticomesolimbic system. Also, we have examined the effect of GAL(1− 15) in context-induced alcohol relapse. GAL(1− 15) substantially reduced alcohol-seeking behaviour in the operant self-administration model in an FR1 protocol and at the breaking point in a PR schedule. GALR1and GALR2 were involved in these effects, as indicated by the analysis by GALR2 antagonist and GALR1 and GALR2 knockdown animals. Notably, the mechanism of GAL(1− 15)-mediated actions involved changes in C-Fos, Dopamine receptors and 5HT1A expression in the ventral tegmental area, accumbens nucleus and prefrontal cortex. Significantly, GAL(1− 15) reduced the context-induced alcohol relapse. These results open up the possibility to use GAL(1− 15) as a novel strategy in AUD., This work was supported by grants awarded by Spanish Ministry of Economy PID2020-114392RB-100, PDC2021-121566-100 and by Junta de Andalucía P20-00026-R and PI-0083-2019

DATASET. Purpose: Prior research indicates that problematic social media use (PSMU) is associated with cyberbullying perpetration (CBP) in adolescents. PSMU has been linked to sleep disturbances, and existing studies show that sleep difficulties are also associated with cyberbullying perpetration. Nevertheless, the interplay among these three variables remains unexplored. The present study examines whether PSMU is directly associated with later CBP and indirectly through poor sleep quality in adolescents. Methods: A sample of 335 students aged 12-17 years from four schools completed standardized and validated measures of PSMU, sleep quality, and CBP in a two‑wave longitudinal design with a 9‑month interval. A mediation analysis was conducted following the guidelines of the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results: Problematic social media use was associated with subsequent cyberbullying perpetration both directly and indirectly via sleep quality. These findings underscore the relevance of considering sleep quality alongside problematic social media use in cyberbullying prevention efforts for adolescents, with implications for both boys and girls. Conclusions: The results suggest that interventions targeting both problematic social media use and sleep quality may help reduce cyberbullying perpetration among adolescents., Parte del proyecto I+D+i PID2020-117006RB-I00, financiado por MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, Ayuda FPU23/03374, financiada por MICIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 y por el FSE+ (V.
