Repositorio: udiMundus. Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad a Distancia de Madrid
Sanjuán, Pilar, Magallares, Alejandro, Gordillo Rodríguez, Rodolfo
Research has shown that the self-serving attributional bias (SSAB), which is defined as the tendency of individuals to make more internal, stable and global attributions for positive than for negative events, is inversely related to negative aspects of well-being such as depressive symptoms. However, while on one hand, well-being is not the absence of negative symptoms, on the other hand, well-being is a multidimensional construct which includes hedonic and eudaimonic aspects. Hedonic well-..., 2011-12

Tovar-Gálvez, J.C, Fernández Aragón, Cristina
Teachers need education to construct a professional profile according to the culturally diverse contexts and technological advancements in this global and hyper-connected world. The global competence is a frame that suggests a teacher profile including, at least, an intercultural and a digital dimension. However, there is little advancement in integration of the global competence in teacher education programs. Additionally, there is little evidence on how teachers learn the intercultural and a..., 2023-24

Gil García, Isabel Cristina, Fernández-Guillamón, Ana, Molina-García, Ángel
The need to reduce global emissions leads us to look for various sources of clean energy. In recent
decades, wind technology has advanced significantly, enabling large-scale power generation in both
marine and terrestrial environments, as well as the development of mini-wind solutions. However, we
often underestimate the capacity of certain human activities and production processes to generate
clean energy, wasting their true potential. This work focuses on using artificially generated wind..., 2024-25
Additional results on the performance of location-scale models in meta-analysis: A simulation study

Blázquez-Rincón, Desirée, Viechtbauer, Wolfgang, López-López, José Antonio
Location-scale models are a useful tool in the field of meta-analysis since they allow the influence of moderator variables on the mean (location) and variance (scale) of the distribution of true effects to be studied at the same time. The implementation of location-scale models for meta-analysis was recently added to the metafor package for the R statistical software. In previous conference presentations, the results of a Monte Carlo simulation study comparing different estimation methods (..., 2022-23

Botella, Juan, Durán, Juan Ignacio, Blázquez-Rincón, Desirée, Gutkin, Anahí
Publication bias (PB) is one of the main threats to contemporary science. It refers to the effects of any factor that affects the representativeness of the published studies, with respect to the studies carried out. If studies with statistically significant results are more likely to be published, then the accessible results give a distorted picture, usually consisting of overestimating effect sizes. Since the meta-analysis, several techniques have been developed to detect, assess, and correct..., 2023-24

Negative self-perceptions of aging have been linked to poorer health and quality of life and predict significantly depressive symptomatology. The support provided by the partner may have an impact on the effects of self-perceptions of aging on depressive symptoms; a close relationship can go along with additional stress or resources and benefits. The present study analyzes the relationship between negative self-stereotypes and depressive symptomatology, considering positive and negative dyadic..., 2024-25
