In this paper the results of a theoretical research on the category of social exclusion are presented, research performed from 2022 to early 2023. From a series of analysis related to the absence of a theoretical base for such category, the purpose was to identify, through document review, which theoretical background this category could be related with. The argument in this paper is that structural functionalism is an alternative for theoretical ground, because with Robert Merton was found that social exclusion is a problem addressed in his theory through the concept of anomie in his sociology of deviation.

This paper describes the process of documentary analysis to meet the request of the Ministry of Education of Guanajuato (Mexico) to develop a Model to Address, Prevent and Eradicate School Violence. The analysis of public policy documents, in the light of the theory of Convivencia (peaceful coexistence), allowed for a dialogue between two different approaches: One on violence prevention, which ultimately leads to the control of antisocial behaviors, and another on Convivencia, more oriented to the creation of nurturing environments and capacity building. It was relevant to identify shared basic principles and equivalent notions from both perspectives. We also observed some divergences, gaps and inconsistencies that were addressed. The proposed Model shifted the focus of public policy from school violence to convivencia as the focus of attention. Based on contributions from sociology, philosophy, conflict theory in schools, pedagogy and school organization, the resulting Convivencia Model proposes three levels of intervention: Containment, Conflict Resolution and Transformation of Pedagogical and Organizational Practices oriented towards inclusion, equity, and participation. The model represents an accessible resource for analyzing public policies, elaborating school self-diagnoses, designing convivencia training proposals or conducting research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Within the context of a recent research tradition, certain psychological traits related to various socially reprehensible behaviors have been grouped under the name of "Dark Factor or dark side of personality." In this context, this paper studies the common variance that could exist between the three components of the Dark Triad construct (Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy) and the constituent cognitive processes of Moral Disengagement construct, in order to relate them to the antisocial behavior of a sample composed of 800 adolescents (M = 15.36, SD = .99; 50.1 % boys). Exploratory factor analysis suggested retaining four factors using Horn Parallel Analysis. These factors were subjected to a bifactorial rotation in the exploratory context, and their fit indices were adequate ² (1219.42, 737) = 1.65 p <.05; RMSEA = .03 [.01, .05]; CFI = .98. The confirmatory factor analysis of this bifactorial model to represent the dark side obtained optimal fit indices ² (392.38, 150) = 2.61 p <.05; RMSEA = .04 [.04, .05]; CFI = .95; similar for boys and girls. The results of the structural equation model indicated that the "dark side", understood here as the common characteristics of the Dark Triad and Moral Disengagement, is directly and intensely related to antisocial behaviors in girls ( = .57, p < .001) and boys ( = .54, p < .001). Finally, the implications of these results for the prevention of a wide range of antisocial behaviors in adolescents are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objectives of this paper were to study the ECODI27 distribution to determine a cut-point for diagnosis of the dissocial behavior problems as well to evaluate its discriminative and concurrent validity. A sample of 798 northwestern Mexican adolescent (648 students and 150 offenders) was used, and the measure instruments were ECODI27 and the EPI. The distributions of the ECODI27 and its factors were negatively skewed in the students' sample, but were normal in the sample of male offenders. A score of 85 or less was proposed for the dissocial disorder diagnosis. The scale and its factors presented discriminative and concurrent validity with the EPI 2-dimensions, especially with extroversion. Its bias with social desirability was scant. It is concluded that the ECODI is appropriate to use in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This theoretical study deals with a review of empirical research and theoretical papers in which typologies of the men who are violent against their intimate partners are analyzed. First, the most relevant typologies and the aspects that have in common are described. Specifically, most studies about batterer men have distinguished three categories: a) Family only batterer; b) Borderline/Disforic; and c) Generally Violent/Antisocial. Recently, other studies have identified new subtypes of aggressors (for example, Low-level Antisocial Batterers) or they have focused on other variables of classification (personality and psychopathological characteristics or stages and processes of change). Second, some of the current questions on typologies (temporal stability of the typologies and categorical versus continuous antisocial type) are examined. Third, it is also considered the possibility of tailoring specific therapeutic interventions to specific typology. Implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are commented upon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the relation between personality disorder and homeless condition. In order to achieve this objective, an ex post facto study was carried out. It had a prospective character, done with a sample of 77 patients who took part and gave answers in an interview and in the MCMI II along the period of treatment. The results indicates that 80,5% of the homeless engaged in the study shows one or more personality disturbances. The most outstanding disturbances are related to personalities with interpersonal problems: Antisocial, Narcissist and Dependent. Moreover, high scores on Alcohol Dependence, Delirious Disorder, as well as Compulsive TP can be appreciated. Homeless are clearly related to personality disturbances increasing the complexity of treatments, worsening the prognosis. Finally, we comment the relevance of the results of this study in practical intervention with this population and for future studies on this topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. The Life Skills Profile (LSP) is an assessment instrument of general function in activities of daily life, especially developed for people diagnosed of a severe mental illness. There are different versions of the LSP. The aim of this paper is to validate and adapt the brief form of the LSP (LSP-20) to the Spanish population. Methods. Two different samples have been recruited for this study. The first sample was made up of 231 outpatients with a clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia who were randomly selected. The following analyses were performed: principal axis factoring analysis, internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity between the LSP-20 and the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS). The second sample was recruited in order to assess interrater reliability and was composed of 30 long-stay inpatients with a diagnosis of chronic schizophrenia. Results. Factor analysis produced four factors accounting for 41.22% of the total variance. The following labels were suggested for the factors: compliance, social initiative, self-care and antisocial behavior. Internal consistency ranged from 0.69 (antisocial behavior) to 0.79 (social initiative). Correlations between the LSP-20 and the PANSS were moderate and clinically significant. Interrater reliability ranged from 0.58 (to have defined interests) to 0.89 (to wear clean clothes usually). Conclusions. The brief form of LSP can be useful in real clinical settings to help to personalize the aims of the rehabilitation interventions and to evaluate the health care model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
