Introduction: In this COVID-19 pandemic, protective measures against the disease and government-imposed policies should be known. However, the media also report on deaths and health service shortages, but their impact on the mental health of the population is ignored.Objective: To determine whether fear of COVID-19 infection acts as a mediator between exposure to news about the pandemic and mental health in the Peruvian population.Method: Explanatory study with observable variables in which 541 persons selected by non-probabilistic sampling participated. They responded to a sociodemographic file and the following scales: Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) and Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Data were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and Macro PROCESS for SPSS programs; linear regression and bootstrapping of 10 000 simulations were used.Results: The number of hours watching and/or listening to covid-19 information is a good predictor of the COVID-19 fear mediator variable (β= ,75; t = 3.77, p<.001**). In turn, this has a predictor effect on mental health (β= -,24; t = -13.57, p<.001**). However, the number of hours of exposure to COVID-19 information had no direct positive effect on mental health (β= -.10; t = -1.184, p=.23).Conclusion: Fear of COVID-19 has a total mediating effect between exposure to pandemic news and mental health in the Peruvian population. Introducción: En esta pandemia por covid-19 se deben conocer las medidas de protección contra la enfermedad y las políticas impuestas por el gobierno; empero, los medios de comunicación también informan sobre las muertes y el desabastecimiento de los servicios de salud, pero se ignora su impacto en la salud mental de la población.Objetivo: Determinar si el miedo al contagio de la covid-19 actúa como mediador entre la exposición a las noticias sobre la pandemia y la salud mental en población peruana.Método: Estudio explicativo con variables observables, donde participaron 541 personas seleccionadas con un muestreo no probabilístico. Respondieron una ficha sociodemográfica y las escalas: Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5) y Fear of Covid-19 Scale. Los datos fueron procesados mediante los programas IBM SPSS Statistics 25 y Macro PROCESS para SPSS; se utilizó la regresión lineal y bootstrapping de 10 000 simulaciones.Resultados: El número de horas viendo y/o escuchando información de la covid-19 es un buen predictor de la variable mediadora de miedo a la covid-19 (β= ,75; t = 3,77, p<,001**); a su vez, esta tiene un efecto predictor sobre la salud mental (β= -,24; t = -13,57, p<,001**); sin embargo, el número de horas de exposición a la información de la covid-19 no tuvo un efecto directo positivo en la salud mental (β= -,10; t = -1,184, p=,23).Conclusión: El miedo a la covid-19 tiene un efecto mediador total entre la exposición a las noticias sobre la pandemia y la salud mental en la población peruana.

Resumen: La masculinidad es una construcción sociocultural cambiante y heterogénea en la que intervienen significativamente el contexto, la cultura, la clase, la etnia, la edad, la familia, la escuela, los medios de comunicación, la política, entre otras. Sin embargo, existe una expresión dominante de masculinidad en Occidente, que se funda en la idea de que los hombres son violentos, hipersexuales y superiores a las mujeres. El presente artículo analiza los núcleos que constituyen dicha masculinidad, siendo aspectos como la negación de emociones, sus efectos en la salud mental de los hombres, la hipersexualidad masculina y la violencia contra las mujeres, el rol proveedor económico y el lugar de los hombres en las actividades del cuidado.Palabras clave: Masculinidad hegemónica, ideologías de género, hipersexualidad, homofobia, heteronormatividadEasier Said than Done. Gender Ideologies Underpinning Hegemonic MasculinitiesAbstract: Masculinity is a changing and diverse socio-culture construction and heterogeneous in which the context, culture, class, ethnicity, age, family, school, media, politics, among others aspects are involved significantly. However, there is a dominant expression of masculinity in the West that is based on the idea that men are violent, hyper sexual and superior to women. The present article analyzes the core that comprised such masculinity, being aspects like the denial of emotions, their effects on the mental health of men, the male hyper sexuality and violence against women, the economic provider role and the place of men in care activities..Key Words: Hegemonic masculinity, gender ideologies, hypersexuality, homophobia, heteronormativity

Resumen: En la mayoría de artículos sobre estigma en Salud Mental se suele obviar el papel estigmatizador de los profesionales y de los procesos protocolares denominados como terapéuticos. Estos procesos regidos por lógicas institucionales acaban resultando en la mayoría de los casos la principal causa generadora de estigma, en tanto entroniza a los pacientes en un doble rol identitario como paciente y enfermo crónico; objeto de estudio, en definitiva, que menoscaba las capacidades de los sujetos para reconstruir su identidad fuera de esa doble identidad enferma. Desde la experiencia viva como persona diagnosticada que ha sufrido los vaivenes de la locura y las perversiones de un sistema sanitario que ha acabado por industrializar el sufrimiento mental, este artículo busca de-construir las principales dinámicas que construyen la imagen social e institucional de las personas con problemática mental. Por contra, a partir del ejemplo de la Asociación Socio-cultural Radio Nikosia y su capacidad a la hora de generar instancias de posibilidades para el ser, el estar y el decir fuera de todo ámbito clínico -de lo que resulta en no pocas ocasiones la re-estructuración identitaria y del propio discurso a través del trabajo constante en medios de comunicación y las intervenciones artístico-políticas, participando colectivamente con y desde la comunidad, en el común más cotidiano de la comunidad- reivindico otra forma de entender el sufrimiento, naturalizándolo en la plaza pública. Deconstructing stigma in mental health Abstract: In most articles about Stigma in Mental Health Stigma is often overlooked role of professionals and stigmatizing process known as therapeutic protocol. These processes governed by institutional logics end resulting in most cases the chief cause in stigma, enthroned as the patients in a double role and identity as chronically ill patient; object of study, ultimately undermining the capacity of subjects to reconstruct their identity outside of that sick double identity. From the living experience as a person diagnosed to have suffered the vagaries of madness and perversion in a health system that has come to industrialize mental suffering, this article seeks to deconstruct the main dynamics that build social and institutional image of people with Mental problems. In contrast, using the example of the Socio-cultural Association Radio Nicosia and its ability to generate instances when possibilities for being, being and saying out of all clinical scope in what is on many occasions the identity and re-structuring of the discourse itself through constant work in media and artistic-political interventions, collectively engaged with and from the community, in the most ordinary common-vindicate community another way to understand suffering, naturalizing in the public sphere.

The Relationship

Little is known about the relationship between social comparison orientation and mental health, especially in the psychological capital context. We proposed a theoretical model to examine the impact of ability- and opinion-based social comparison orientation on mental health using data from 304 undergraduates. We also examined the mediating effect of the four psychological capital components of hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism in the relationship between social comparison orientation and mental health. Results show that an ability (vs. opinion) social comparison orientation was negatively (vs. positively) related to the psychological capital components. Further, the resilience and optimism components of psychological capital fully mediated the social comparison orientation–mental health relationship. Our findings indicate that psychological capital should be considered in the promotion of mental health, and that the two social comparison orientation types have opposite effects on psychological capital.

There is not much evidence on the effects of south–south migration and its consequences on physical and mental health. Our objective was to examine the mediating role of Acculturative Stress in the association between ethnic discrimination and racial discrimination with physical and mental health. This research is a non-experimental, analytical, cross-sectional study. A total of 976 adult Colombian migrants living in Chile were interviewed. We used the Everyday Discrimination Scale, the acculturative stress scale, and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-12) for health status; we found that racial and ethnic discrimination had a negative effect on physical and mental health. In the simultaneous presence of both types of discrimination, racial discrimination was completely absorbed by ethnic discrimination, the latter becoming a total mediator of the effect of racial discrimination on mental and physical health. Our findings are consistent with the literature, which suggests that there are various types of discrimination which, individually or in their intersectionality, can have negative effects on health.

The authors explore media distrust among a sample of precarious and gig workers interviewed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although these left-leaning respondents initially increased their media consumption at the outset of the pandemic, they soon complained of media sensationalism and repurposed a readily available cultural tool: claims of “fake news.” As a result, these unsettled times have resulted in a “diffusion of distrust,” in which an elite conservative discourse of skepticism toward the media has also become a popular form of compensatory control among self-identified liberals. Perceiving “fake news” and media sensationalism as “not good” for their mental health, respondents also reported experiencing media burnout and withdrawing from media consumption. As the pandemic passes its one-year anniversary, this research has implications for long-term media coverage on COVID-19 and ongoing media trust and consumption.
