Abstract Background The purpose of this study is to examine alexithymic tendencies in Japanese adolescents (aged 12–20) and their effects on somatic complaints. Methods Participants were Japanese adolescents (n = 2,759). Alexithymic tendencies were assessed by the Alexithymia Scale for Adolescents (ASA), and somatic complaints by the Somatic Complaint List (SCL). Results The following results were obtained. 1) ASA total scores remained at a high level from early to late adolescence. 2) Among the ASA subfactors, difficulty identifying feelings (DIF) and difficulty describing feelings (DDF), increased during adolescence, whereas externally oriented thinking (EOT) decreased; as a result, the ASA total scores remained high. 3) DIF significantly affected somatic complaints among adolescents irrespective of their academic year and gender. 4) DDF only had an effect of increasing somatic complaints in junior high and high school-aged male participants, and this effect disappeared as respondents’ age grew and they were university students. This shows that the effect of alexithymic tendencies on somatic complaints changed with age. Conclusion Compared to the results of previous studies, the results of this study showed that alexithymic tendencies among Japanese adolescents are consistently high. The study further revealed that the increasing somatic complaints were consistently influenced by DIF.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la influencia del modelo Estport a través de la evaluación de las percepciones de los deportistas en cuanto a barreras, herramientas de ayuda y el tutor deportivo. La intervención tuvo una duración de un curso académico universitario en universidades de España e Italia. Participaron 153 estudiantes-deportistas, 109 españoles y 44 italianos, con edades comprendidas entre los 17 y 48 años (M = 23.62; DT = 4.31) de distinto nivel deportivo: amateur (25.4%), semi-profesional (42.8%) y profesional (31.8%). Se utilizó el cuestionario de percepción de los estudiantes universitarios-deportistas de alto nivel sobre la carrera dual. Los deportistas italianos percibieron más barreras que los españoles y, en general, los hombres percibieron más barreras que las mujeres.

Social support is considered to be an important element of relationships. Previous studies have provided evidence that low social support is closely related to poor physical and mental health. Gender has an important influence on social support for university students; however, research on the level of social support and differences in social support by gender for Vietnamese university students is still lacking. The current study aims to investigate the level of social support and gender differences in social support for Vietnamese university students. A total of 859 Vietnamese university students have completed the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). The results revealed that Vietnamese university students have a high level of social support and that male students have a lower level of social support than female students. Factors that may contribute to gender differences in social support are discussed. These findings have important implications for the development of interventions to provide gender-based social support.
