Responsible Consumption

Se presenta un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que predice en un 66% el comportamiento típicamente no violento a partir de la interacción de los factores consumo responsable de alcohol, el afrontamiento enfocado al problema, la búsqueda de soporte social, la autoculpa, la fantasía, el bienestar subjetivo, el apoyo social percibido, y el pesimismo; a su vez, el modelo puede predecir con una confiabilidad del 43% el consumo responsable de alcohol a partir de la interacción de los factores edad, percepción de acontecimientos estresantes, bienestar subjetivo, comportamiento típicamente no violento, sesgo optimista no realista, afrontamiento evitativo y pesimismo, con una muestra de 431 adolescentes escolarizados(X = 15,45 años, de= 1,39). Si bien el estudio no pretende ser concluyente, visibiliza la importancia de reconocer los factores psicosociales protectores en el diseño e implementación de programas de promoción y prevención asociadas al consumo responsable de alcohol y de conducta no violenta con adolescentes desde una perspectiva salutogénica. Los hallazgos y nuevos abordajes son discutidos. AbstractIs presented a structural equation model which predicted with an effectiveness 66% the typically not violent behavior through the interaction of the factors responsible drinking, problem-focused coping, seeking social support, self-blame, fantasy, subjective wellbeing, perceived social support, and pessimism; likewise, the model can predict with a likelihood of 43% the responsible alcohol consumption through the interaction between age, perceptions of stressful events, subjective wellbeing, typically not violent behavior, unrealistic optimism bias, avoidant coping and pessimism, with a sample of 431 adolescent students (X = 15.45 years, SD = 1.39). Although the study is not intended to be conclusive, makes visible the importance of recognize the protective psychosocial factors in the design and implementation of health promotion and prevention programs related to responsible drinking and non-violent behavior with adolescents within a salutogenic perspective. The findings and new approaches are discussed.

The past decade has seen plenty of studies focusing on Internet use and Internet addiction. This is because the Internet provides information about variety of topics all over world and is easily accessed. Arguments concerning the association between excessive use and Internet addiction are ongoing. There is not yet a clear, consensus definition of Internet addiction. In this chapter, we discuss previous research and implications for future studies regarding Internet addiction and its most studied psychosocial variables: depression, loneliness, social anxiety, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and social support.

Purpose: To inform health behavior intervention design, we sought to quantify loneliness and its correlates, including social media use, among adults in the United States. Design: Cross-sectional research panel questionnaire. Setting: Responses were gathered from individuals in all 50 states surveyed via Internet from February 2018 to March 2018. Participants: A total of 20 096 US panel respondents aged 18+. Measures: The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Loneliness Scale (theoretical score range = 20-80) was administered along with demographic, structural, cognitive, and behavioral items. Analysis: After calibrating the sample to population norms, we conducted multivariable linear regression analysis. Results: The overall mean survey-weighted loneliness score was 44.03 (standard error = 0.09). Social support (standardized β [sβ] = −0.19) and meaningful daily interactions (sβ = −0.14) had the strongest associations with lower loneliness, along with reporting good relationships, family life, physical and mental health, friendships, greater age, being in a couple, and balancing one’s daily time. Social anxiety was most strongly associated with greater loneliness (sβ = +0.20), followed by self-reported social media overuse (sβ = +0.05) and daily use of text-based social media (sβ = +0.03). Conclusion: Our findings confirm that loneliness decreases with age, and that being in a relationship as well as everyday behavioral factors in people’s control are most strongly related to loneliness. Population health promotion efforts to reduce loneliness should focus on improving social support, decreasing social anxiety, and promoting healthy daily behaviors.

Abstract Background and Objectives The emergence of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the measures implemented to curb its spread may have deleterious effects on mental health. Older adults may be at increased risk for adverse psychosocial outcomes since opportunities to remain socially connected have diminished. Research is needed to better understand the impact of pandemic-related stress on mental health. The purpose of this study is three-fold: 1) to examine the influences of COVID-19 pandemic-related stress on depression, anxiety, and loneliness, 2) to assess the mediating role of coping style and social support, and 3) to investigate whether these relationships vary across age. Research Design and Methods Participants (N = 1,318) aged 18-92 years completed an online survey assessing pandemic-related stress, mental health, social support, coping, and their experiences with social distancing, during the initial implementation of social distancing measures in the United States. Results Social support and coping style were found to relate to psychosocial outcomes. Avoidant coping was the strongest mediator of the relationship between pandemic-related stress and psychosocial outcomes, particularly depression. Avoidant coping more strongly mediated the relationship between stress and depression in younger adults compared to older adults. Discussion and Implications Results were consistent with the stress and coping framework and recent work highlighting older adults’ resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings highlight the associations between positive coping behaviors and psychosocial well-being and indicate that older adults may use unique adaptive mechanisms to preserve well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Emerging adulthood is a critical period of life that entails many life transitions in living arrangements, relationships, education and employment, which can generate stress and psychological distress in the emerging adult. The aim of the present study was to assess the relevance of stress, coping styles, self-esteem and perceived social support in the distress of emerging adult women and men. The sample consists of 4816 people (50% females) from the Spanish general population, ranging in age from 18 to 29 years old. All participants were assessed through questionnaires and scales that assess psychological distress, stress, coping styles, self-esteem and social support. Women scored higher than men in psychological distress, chronic stress, minor daily hassles, emotional coping style and social support, whereas men scored higher than women in rational and detachment coping styles and in self-esteem. Psychological distress was significantly predicted in women and men by high emotional coping style, lower self-esteem, high number of life events, and less social support. Another statistically significant predictor in men was less detachment coping style, whereas in women it was high chronic stress. The results of this research are relevant to healthcare professionals interested in improving the mental health of the emerging adult.
