Multidimensional Social Competence, Motivation, and Cyberbullying: A Cultural Approach With Colombian and Spanish Adolescents

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (2017)

Eva M. Romera Mauricio Herrera-López José A. Casas Rosario Ortega Ruiz Olga Gómez‐Ortiz

International research on the risk and protective factors of cyberbullying focus on individual personality variables and the use of technological devices. However, it is necessary to examine in greater depth the interpersonal context as a factor that may influence cyberbullying and the possible differences between cultures. The objective of this article was to analyze the relationship of influence of two interpersonal variables, multidimensional social competence and social motivation, on cyberaggression and cybervictimization through a cultural study of Spain and Colombia, which will permit generalizing the influence of interpersonal variables on cyberbullying in different cultural settings. The sample consisted of 3,830 secondary school students (50.4% Colombian and 49.6% Spanish). Self-reporting measurement instruments validated with different European samples were used. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were performed. A model of mutual influence revealing the inverse relationship of normative adjustment and the direct relationship of popularity goals in cyberaggression was obtained. Cybervictimization was explained by the direct influence of prosocial behaviors and avoidance goals and the inverse influence of perceived social efficacy, development goals, and social and normative adjustment. As conclusion, this study demonstrates the homogeneity of the Colombian and Spanish models and the important role that the face-to-face context plays in cyberbullying involvement. This article highlights and supports the design of cyberbullying prevention programs, which requires the inclusion of multidimensional social competence and social goals.

El ciber-rumor y cybergossip en Colombia: una reflexión desde la ciberpsicología y las ciencias sociales computacionales

Informes Psicológicos (2021)

Mauricio Herrera-López Eva M. Romera Rosario Ortega Ruiz

Recientes estudios sugieren que el aumento del uso de las TIC y en especial de redes sociales parece estar relacionado con un mayor riesgo de exposición a fenómenos de intimidación en el ciberespacio. El ciber-rumor y el cybergossip son algunos de estos riesgos de gran relevancia en el estudio de la ciberconducta, pues modulan los procesos emocionales y actitudinales que pueden afectar negativamente al bienestar psicológico, así como al contexto social inmediato. Este documento presenta una revisión y reflexión general sobre el avance en el cuerpo teórico del cybergossip, delimita el constructo en comparación con el ciber-rumor y el cyberbullying, presenta un estudio realizado en Colombia desde una perspectiva cross-cultural y ofrece posibles líneas de trabajo futuras desde las ciencias sociales computacionales. Las conclusiones son útiles para los diversos estudios que abordan el estudio de la ciberconducta, particularmente desde la multidisciplinariedad y las ciencias sociales computacionales.

Traditional Bullying and Discriminatory Bullying Around Special Educational Needs: Psychometric Properties of Two Instruments to Measure It

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (2019)

Antonio J. Rodríguez‐Hidalgo Gloria Anabel Alcívar Pincay Mauricio Herrera-López

Two important challenges in research on bullying are to have reliable tools to measure traditional bullying and discriminatory bullying related to special educational needs (SEN), and to learn more about their prevalence. We present the validations of two instruments to measure bullying (European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire, EBIPQ) and discriminatory bullying with respect to SEN (EBIPQ⁻Special Education Needs Discrimination version, henceforth EBIPQ-SEND). A total of 17,309 teenagers from Ecuador took part in the study (M = 14.76, SD = 1.65; 49.9% male). The item response theory analyses evidenced accuracy and quality of the measures. The confirmatory factor analyses of the EBIPQ and the EBIPQ-SEND revealed the same two-factor structure-aggression and victimization-regardless of gender, showing optimal fit indexes. We present the results of the prevalence according to the roles of participation in traditional bullying and discriminatory bullying around SEN. Significant gender and age differences were observed for involvement in both phenomena. We also discuss the advantages of applying the EBIPQ and the EBIPQ-SEND to evaluate and diagnose harassment and discriminatory harassment around SEN.

Self‐Efficacy and Academic Performance in Colombian Dental Students

Journal of Dental Education (2019)

Ana Cristina Mafla Kimon Divaris Mauricio Herrera-López Marc W. Heft

Favorable self-efficacy beliefs have been theorized to predict better academic performance, but this association has been untested in dental education. To address this knowledge gap, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between students' self-efficacy and academic performance in a Colombian dental school. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 with dental students in all five years at the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Pasto, Colombia. Prior to application for the measurement of self-efficacy, the psychometric properties of the Academic Behaviors Self-Efficacy Scale (ABSS) were examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Participants' semester grade point average was used as a measure of academic performance. Of the total 390 students, 320 participated (82% participation rate). A three-factor model for ABSS with the dimensions of communication, attention, and excellence emerged from the CFA, demonstrating optimal fit indices: χ2S-B =468.912; p<0.01; NNFI=0.994; CFI=0.996; RMSEA=0.031 (90% CI 0.021, 0.037); SRMR=0.070; AIC=344.912. Self-efficacy was positively associated with academic performance (rho=0.259; p<0.001). This association was statistically significant only among women (rho=0.361; p<0.001) and those in low SES strata (1-2: rho=0.310; p<0.001) and was highest among students with a heavy (>15 credits) academic course load (rho=0.306; p=0.001). The ABSS demonstrated adequate psychometric properties. Academic self-efficacy was positively associated with academic performance, and this association was most pronounced among women students, those in low SES strata, and those taking a heavy course load.

Psychometric Testing of HeLD-14 in a Colombian Geriatric Population

International Journal of Dentistry (2024)

Ana Cristina Mafla Mauricio Herrera-López Carmen Gallardo-Pino Falk Schwendicke

Introduction. The objective of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the Colombian version of the Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD-14) in older adults. Materials and Methods. A translation and validation study of HeLD-14 was conducted on 384 non-institutionalized older adults attending the Dental Clinic at Universidad Cooperativa from Pasto, Colombia. A cross-cultural adaptation of a multidimensional HeLD-14 was completed, and the psychometric properties of this scale were evaluated through a cross-validation method using an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency was measured with Cronbach’s alpha (α) and Omega’s McDonald (ɷ). The statistical significance was set at

P < 0.05

. Results. The EFA demonstrated that a single-factor structure with 11 items explained a cumulative 59.86% of the overall variance. The CFA confirmed that goodness of fit indices of this questionnaire had optimal adequateness (

; non-normed fit index = 0.901; comparative fit index = 0.908; root mean square error of approximation = 0.079 (90% CI (0.075, 0.083)); standardized root mean residual = 0.080). The coefficients indicated a high internal consistency for the total scale (α = 0.94; ɷ = 0.96). Conclusion. The developed adaptation of HeLD-14 for the Colombian population, HeLD-Col, is a unidimensional, reliable, and valid instrument to assess oral health literacy in older adults in Colombia.

Psychometric Properties of the Compulsive Internet Use Scale in Spain, Colombia, and Mexico

Cyberpsychology Behavior and Social Networking (2020)

Alejandra Sarmiento Izabela Zych Mauricio Herrera-López Ulises Delgado Sánchez Atte Oksanen

Information and communication technologies provide a new context for interpersonal relationships, learning and professional activities. Nevertheless, there are several risks related to technology use, including compulsive Internet use. Even though compulsive Internet use has been identified as an important problem behavior in young people, there are still gaps in knowledge regarding its measurement in Spanish-speaking countries. Thus, the objective of this study was to validate the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) in Spain, Colombia, and Mexico using a sample of 2,090 15-30 year olds. Results showed that the questionnaire has excellent psychometric properties and confirmed its original unidimensional factor structure. Inter-item polychoric correlations showed optimum values that indicated consistency and high quality of the construct. A confirmatory factor analysis showed an excellent model fit for all the subsamples, including Spain, Colombia, and Mexico. A multigroup analysis showed measurement invariance across the studied countries. Given that the CIUS is one of the most popular instruments used to measure excessive Internet use around the world, it can now be used in crossnational comparative studies, including Spain, Colombia, and Mexico, together with other countries. It can also be used to evaluate intervention programs in the studied countries.

Smartphones addiction associated with academic achievement among dental students: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Dental Education (2021)

Ana Cristina Mafla Mauricio Herrera-López Thanya Fernanda Eraso Marilyn Alexandra Melo Natalia Muñoz

Abstract Purpose The study sought to examine the association between dental students’ smartphone addiction and academic achievement. Methods Study participants were 374 dental students from the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia school of dentistry. Smartphone addiction was assessed using the short version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS‐SV), an instrument that was validated a priori using item response theory, information function test, and confirmatory factor analysis. Students’ semester grade point average (GPA) served as a measure of academic performance. The association between SAS‐SV scores and GPA was tested using generalized linear modeling adjusting for covariates. Results The prevalence of smartphone addiction was low (4.8%) in this sample of dental students. Smartphone use was significantly and positively associated with GPA ( b = 0.012; 95% confidence interval = 0.005–0.020; P = 0.001) while accounting for students’ age and year of study. Conclusions Smartphone usage was positively associated with dental students’ academic performance. Importantly, a small number of students were identified as suffering from smartphone addiction. Future research should help clarify the mechanisms underlying this association, identify students at risk for smartphone addiction, and further elucidate the relevance of these findings in dental education.

Aproximación general a la gestión por procesos en los servicios de salud en Latinoamérica: una revisión bibliográfica

Informes Psicológicos (2024)

Ana Lucia Solarte Portilla Katalina Andrade Sanchez Yolanda Maribel Torres Díaz Mauricio Herrera-López

El mejoramiento de los servicios de salud o sanitarios ha sido configurado, históricamente, desde diversas estrategias; en este sentido, el enfoque por procesos ha representado una metodología relevante utilizada por las Instituciones Prestadoras de Salud (IPS) para las actividades administrativas y asistenciales. Sin embargo, a la fecha, falta mayor claridad frente a su utilización e impacto en Latinoamérica. El objetivo del artículo es identificar el estado actual de la producción bibliográfica relacionada con la gestión por procesos en los servicios de salud en Latinoamérica, a partir de la revisión de artículos publicados en tres bases de datos (SciELO, PubMed Central y Scopus). Esta revisión bibliográfica se realizó utilizando la metodología PRISMA-P, en la que se definieron criterios de inclusión y exclusión para la recolección, sistematización, selección y análisis de los estudios. Finalmente, se revisaron en profundidad 29 artículos. Los resultados resaltan la caracterización de la gestión por procesos, su implementación en hospitales y la evaluación de los mismos. Los estudios son escasos y el aporte al cuerpo teórico es limitado. En esta región, la gestión por procesos ha avanzado especialmente en lo metodológico y normativo, no obstante, se sugiere avanzar en la implementación de softwares, el empoderamiento del talento humano y en metodologías cuantitativas.
