This paper offers a review of the literature on Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) in Spain during the last ten years (2010-2020) and it distinguishes between supporters and detractors of the construct. The polarized positions around the construct have revealed a conflict between Psychology and Law. At stake is how diagnostics and judicial pronouncements are related. A collaboration, in an interdisciplinary key, between the clinical perspective and the forensic perspective is missed. The system of custody of minors has played a very important role in the judicial invocation of PAS construct. This situation has changed with the adoption of the jurisprudential criterion favorable to Shared custody, as a general rule, as of 2013. The latest judicial resolutions use terminology far from PAS. The Therapeutic Justice new legal paradigm can serve to articulate new forms of relationship between Psychology and Law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aims of this paper are, on the one hand, to present the differences in the results that may be incurred when working with some automated database functions to obtain scientific production and, on the other hand, to reveal the mistakes made by Aluja et al. (2011) in their considerations and suggestions to the study of Olivas-Avila and Musi-Lechuga (2010a). In this paper, we show that the procedure used to replicate the study is incorrect and, therefore, the authors did not only confuse production with diffusion indicators, but also suggest many indicators that have no discriminative power with the sample studied,-- and the most striking--one hundred percent out of the ten cases analyzed were incorrectly analyzed and, therefore, the results do not correspond to the real record count in the Web of Science (WoS). In some cases, the errors involved items omitted from the WoS. The authors also propose rates like the percentage of articles in journals of Spanish spheres, or the percentage of items as first author. These indexes have no theoretical or empirical justification or previous studies that support them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is part of the results found during a research project carried out during the academic year 2007-2008 in a number of schools in the periphery of Granada (Spain). The paper describes the relationship between phonological competence and literacy in Year-Five children. We found that phonological competence to be a determining factor in the development of literacy skills and further academic performance, as well as the consideration of writing skills as a key element in the analyzed features: phonemegrapheme conversion, arbitrary spelling, orthographic rules, accent rules, capitalization, punctuation, and others.

This paper examines and discusses the rules and standards set by parents for their children on Internet usage at home. Data that supports the paper have been obtained by surveying a representative sample of children in the Balearic Islands aged between 6 and 16 years; the analysis dimensions are: access by minors to the Internet from home; location of the computer from which have online access; level of autonomy or accompaniment while surfing the Net; norms imposed by their parents; types of rules imposed; relationship between norms and gender; the minors' opinion and assessment of the knowledge and abilities of their parents on use of the Internet and, finally, the accompanying strategies of parents when their children access the Internet. The main results shows that just over 53% of minors between 6 and 14, and 62% of those between 15 and 16, surf the Internet without their parents' presence and free of any norms and/or limitations. Where standards are established, these are mainly to do with temporary restrictions. Therefore, it appears that parents are unaware of the dangers of the Internet or at least act irrationally. This shows the need for awareness and provision of skills, knowledge and abilities to enable parents to assume their responsibilities in the Internet usage of minors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this descriptive study is to analyze the scientific productivity of doctorate programs in Clinical and/or Health Psychology in Spain. That productivity is assessed from teachers of doctorate programs. A second aim is to find out whether doctorate programs with quality mention have a higher scientific productivity than those programs without quality mention. Scientific productivity of 375 teachers that participated in 17 doctorate programs was examined. Specifically, papers published in journals included in Web of Science and IN-RECS data bases were analyzed as well as the number of dissertations registered in TESEO data base. A total of 2,772 papers of Web of Science, 2,479 papers of IN-RECS and 604 dissertations included in TESEO were obtained. According to these results, a ranking of doctorate programs was made for each criterion. Subsequently, a global ranking was made through adjusting each criterion according to the weight that was assigned by scientific community to each indicator. Finally, a comparison of global results of programs with and without quality mention was carried out. Results showed that programs with Quality Mention doubled scientific productivity in all criteria compared to programs without Quality Mention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we describe the Intervention Programme on Psychological Abilities in Refereeing (PIHPA) with the participation of soccer referees from the third division Valencia and Basque Association of Referees. The programme consisted of 8 group sessions, complemented by other individual initiatives, where the following skills were developed: motivation, emotional control, self-confidence, concentration, and communication. The aims were as follows: to familiarize the referees with basic psychological skills, to help them learn how to use them, apply them in their work, and improve on them. In their evaluation of the programme, the referees that took part showed a high degree of overall satisfaction, perceiving the course content to be useful in the long run and acknowledging the need to continue with this type of training in the future. In the paper, a discussion is made of the most relevant contributions and the difficulties that were encountered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes a research study carried out with 709 psychology students from different universities from Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile and Spain. Electoral participation of the students and its relationship with different variables such as sociodemographic characteristics, hopelessness, number of stressful life events, attitude towards politics and institutions, etc., were analyzed. Nationality, financial situation, interest about politics, gender or to be far from home predicts the electoral participation of the participants. But hopelessness is not an important variable to explain electoral participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scientific journals define the research front of any academic discipline. A characteristic interaction exists between the level of institutional development and social acceptance, and the number and diversity of journals. This is specially clear in the case of Spanish Psychology. This paper offers a study of the actual situation of the Psychology Spanish magazines, analysing some of its formal characteristics such as oldness and periodicy, localization and institution editing, data bases and accessibility to them, through the inclusion of the main bibliographical data bases, both national and international.
