El objetivo de este trabajo es describir de qué manera el uso de las oraciones interrogativas puede contribuir a generar emociones negativas y, en consecuencia, incrementar las posibilidades de que se genere un conflicto o que este escale. Para ello este trabajo se centra en el análisis cuantitativo de un corpus formado a partir de la grabación y transcripción de sesiones de terapia de distintas parejas españolas. En concreto, para este estudio se seleccionaron tres sesiones correspondientes a tres momentos de la terapia de cuatro parejas diferentes. Esto supone el análisis de 12 terapias y, aproximadamente, 900 minutos de grabación. Una vez identificadas las oraciones interrogativas realizadas por la pareja, se describen y cuantifican para responder a las siguientes cuestiones: ¿cuál es la intencionalidad que subyace al uso que realizaron las parejas en dichas situaciones?, ¿existe variación entre los usos realizados por las distintas parejas?, ¿los usos varían de forma regular conforme avanza la terapia? y ¿hay una correspondencia entre el uso pragmático de estas oraciones y el tipo de oraciones interrogativas utilizadas en cada caso? El análisis muestra una diversidad de usos según las parejas, no obstante, detecta también una utilización minoritaria de las oraciones interrogativas para la petición de información desconocida y, por el contrario, el predominio de los usos mediante los cuales el hablante intentará hacer prevalecer su posicionamiento, aunque mediante la mitigación que permite un enunciado abierto. Por último, el análisis también muestra una fuerte correlación entre el uso pragmático de las oraciones interrogativas y su forma.

Basic psychological needs theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) is an interesting approach to understand the dynamics of romantic relations. Having valid and reliable instruments will allow assessment of the romantic relationship from this perspective. The aim of this study is to present the development of a Spanish version of the Partner Behaviours as Social Context (PBSC, Ducat & ZimmerGembeck, 2010) scale. Through two studies, the factor structure originally proposed is analysed, determining scale reliability and validity. The results confirm the six-dimension structure, although with some differences. It can be concluded that the proposed scale is an especially interesting instrument for the study of relationships in Spanish-speaking youth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the levels of jealousy behaviors in dating and self-esteem in emergent adults of both genders. A non-probabilistic sample of 300 emerging adults in an heterosexual relationship (mean age = 20.2 years, 50 % men), who lived in the cities of Paraná and Viale, Argentina, was evaluated. The techniques used for data collection were the Multidimensional Jealous Inventory and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The results obtained indicated a high level of jealous behavior and high levels of self-esteem. With respect to differences in the level of jealousy according to gender, it was women who scored higher than men in jealousy behaviors. It was also observed that people who spent less time in a dating relationship had greater jealousy behaviors. It was detected that intrigue was a significant predictor of Self-Esteem.

The intimate relationships of the older population have seldom been analyzed from a sociological perspective. This study provides novel information on what is desired in a partner after the age of 50 in Spain. The academic debate on this topic has been limited. Therefore, the contribution of this article is mainly an exploration of the empirical data. The database used is the Spanish General Social Survey prepared by the Sociological Research Center. The results indicate that personality is the most valued factor, followed by values and physical appearance. The variables with the greatest explanatory power in the estimated multinomial logit model are age, sex, level of education and cohabitation status. Educational homogamy appears among those with higher levels of education, with men more interested in physical appearance and women more interested in values and education. These last two characteristics are also more highly valued among those who are older. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When forming a relationship, people can to some extent include their partner's resources, perspectives and identities in their own identity (i.e., inclusion of the other in the self, or IOS). In this study, which was conducted with 169 couples, we examine the association of three sources of IOS: (a) the IOS of one member of the relationship; (b) the IOS of their partner; and (c) the similarity of both partners' IOS with indicators of relational quality (partner conflicts, satisfaction with the relationship and sexual satisfaction) and quality of life (life satisfaction and stress). Using a multilevel approach, the results showed that higher IOS was related to higher levels of relational quality in the person and their partner, and with higher levels of quality of life in the person but not in their partner. Likewise, couples showed a strong similarity in IOS, which was indicative of higher relational quality and quality of life. These results underscore the importance of analysing the (inter)personal mechanisms and their consequences at different levels (i.e., individual and couple). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Symptom accommodation by family members (FMs) of individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) includes FMs’ participation in patients’ avoidance/safety behaviours and constraining self-expression to minimise conflict, potentially maintaining patients’ symptoms. The Significant Others’ Responses to Trauma Scale (SORTS) is the only existing measure of accommodation in PTSD but has not been rigorously psychometrically tested. Objective: We aimed to conduct further psychometric analyses to determine the factor structure and overall performance of the SORTS. Method: We conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses using a sample of N = 715 FMs (85.7% female, 62.1% White, 86.7% romantic partners of individuals with elevated PTSD symptoms). Results: After dropping cross-loading items, results indicated good fit for a higher-order model of accommodation with two factors: an anger-related accommodation factor encompassed items related largely to minimising conflict, and an anxiety-related accommodation factor encompassed items related primarily to changes to the FM’s activities. Accommodation was positively related to PTSD severity and negatively related to relationship satisfaction, although the factors showed somewhat distinct associations. Item Response Theory analyses indicated that the scale provided good information and robust coverage of different accommodation levels. Conclusions: SORTS data should be analysed as both a single score as well as two factors to explore the factors’ potential differential performance across treatment and relationship outcomes.

Este estudio trata de dilucidar la cuestión sobre la posibilidad o no de llegar a un conocimiento cierto sobre el origen del ser humano. En esta cuestión se excluyen todos aquellos seres vivos anteriores o diferentes a la especie humana. Se intenta situar en esta cuestión el papel de Dios y su creación.

La presente investigación de mapeo sistemático tuvo como objetivo principal identificar las publicaciones científicas que hay sobre violencia y dependencia emocional en los últimos dos años. La metodología utilizada consistió en una búsqueda de documentos en las siguientes bases de datos: Web of Science, Scopus a través de la búsqueda “risk* of violence* AND emotion* dependen*”, y para Scielo y La Referencia “Violencia Dependencia emocional”. Donde se encontraron 19 estudios de investigación, los cuales conforman artículos, tesis de maestría y doctorados. Se halló que la mayoría de investigaciones se han realizado en Latinoamérica, especialmente en Perú en los cuales se ha empleado mayormente el Cuestionario de Dependencia Emocional (CDE)de Lemos y Londoño, el Inventario de Dependencia Emocional (IDE), con relación a la variable de violencia se utilizan indistintos tipos de instrumentos. Se pudo detectar que en una gran parte de las exploraciones hay una conexión cercana entre violencia y dependencia emocional, produciendo problemas en la salud integral de la persona. Cabe recalcar que ninguna de las investigaciones pertenece al cuartil nivel uno, lo que llevaría a la conclusión que sería beneficioso llevar a cabo investigaciones innovadoras sobre esta temática a fin de optimizar futuros estudios en relaciones de pareja.

Intimate partner cyberstalking is associated with significant psychosocial, economic, and legal costs for both victims and perpetrators. However, despite these significant negative outcomes, there is a paucity in instruments designed to measure this behavior. Further, many of the measures lack validation and psychometric exploration. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Intimate Partner Cyberstalking Scale (IPCS; Smoker & March, 2017). For this purpose, 595 adults of both genders (32% male; Mage = 30.08) were recruited in Argentina. Participants completed the IPCS-scale, a measure of internet trolling behavior, Dark Triad Personality scale, questions regarding use of new technologies, and demographic items. Both exploratory factor and confirmatory analyses yielded an adequate two-factor structure of the IPCS - scale (a dimension of indirect-direct cyberstalking and a dimension of indirect behaviors) with adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alphas were .85 and 89, respectively). McDonald's consistency and composite reliability were satisfactory as well. Concurrent validity was established with measures of trolling and the use of new technologies. Also, it was detected that these variables, along with gender and dark personality, were predictors of cyberstalking. Overall, results of the current project indicate the IPCS-scale is a valid and reliable measure of assessing both direct and indirect intimate partner cyberstalking behavior in Argentina.

Background: Non-marital romantic relationship dissolutions (RRDs) are common among emerging adult students (EAS) and may result in severe distress and suicidality. However, studies on RRDs in youth are limited to mental health sequelae of depression and prolonged grief. Little is known about the association between RRDs and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and how this compares to posttraumatic stress symptoms following a traumatogenic event. Objective: We aimed to determine the association between RRDs and PTSS in an EAS sample; and how this compared to the association between posttraumatic stress symptoms and a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition (DSM-5) traumatic event. Method: University students (N = 2,022; female = 71.1%; 18–25 years) completed a demographic and relationship questionnaire, the Life Events Checklist, the Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire, and the Posttraumatic Stress Checklist (PCL). We compared EAS with an RRD (n = 886) or a DSM-5 criterion A traumatic event (n = 592) against a control group (n = 544) exposed to a non-traumatic stressful life event. Utilising ANOVAs and Pearson's correlations we determined demographic and clinical variables associated with PTSS. ANCOVA and stepwise hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine between-group differences in PTSS. Results: Total trauma exposure and adverse childhood experiences, sex, monthly income, sexual orientation, and attachment style were significantly associated with PTSS. The RRD group had significantly higher PCL scores compared to the DSM and control groups. The mean PCL scores for both the RRD and DSM groups were above the cut-off score of 33, consistent with a probable posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis. Significantly more RRD participants (72.9%) scored above the cut-off score of 33 than DSM-5 Trauma Group participants (55.4%). Conclusion: An RRD is a potentially traumatic event and is significantly associated with PTSS, similar to a posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis. Students may experience non-marital romantic relationship breakups as very painful, with various negative psychological, physical, and academic consequences. However, their painful experiences are often trivialised as something to 'just get over' and not acknowledged as potentially traumatic. Yet, using an attachment theory framework, breakups can be reconceptualised as subjectively traumatic. We explored the differences in posttraumatic stress symptoms of students who experienced a breakup, a traumatic event (as defined in psychiatry), and other non-traumatic life events. Students who experienced a breakup reported significantly highly posttraumatic stress symptoms. Acknowledging students' pain following a self-defined traumatic breakup can increase help-seeking behaviour and reduce the risk of intergenerational attachment trauma. Our findings warrant further research of breakups as potentially traumatogenic events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Shared time is understood as the availability of time towards the other member of the couple and the use that is given to it. The objective of the work was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Couple Time Sharing Scale (TCP) in a sample from Entre Ríos, Argentina. Internal consistency was evaluated through Cronbach's Alpha analysis. To confirm internal validity, an Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out. Convergent validity with satisfaction in the couple was evaluated through Pearson's r Correlation Analysis. The results allow us to affirm that the version obtained presents appropriate reliability and validity properties, and may be a relevant instrument to be administered in the Argentine population.

Infertile couples seeking treatment experience a social stigma that can lead to the need for privacy and, in turn, compromise their access to social support. This multiple case study, which involved the collection of sociodemographic and health data and interviews with four heterosexual couples accessed by convenience, aimed to examine the perception of the couples about the social support received after the disclosure of the condition of infertility and/or of the assisted reproductive technology treatment. The cases were analyzed individually and comparatively. From the couples' statements, it is highlighted that all of them revealed something about infertility and/or treatment at some point in the process, although some considered not revealing it. Both support and lack of support were perceived from the revelations. The non-disclosure was motivated by self-preservation and by avoidance of social pressure. The findings indicate the importance of psychological intervention to expand the couples' social support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article came out of a study of the Freudian foundations related to the various functional and defensive configurations of family and couple bonds following the hypothesis that the relationships in both contexts have as their principal goal to process drives and, secondarily, obey the demands of reality and the Superego (Freud, 1905/2017; 1923/2019). Mentioned are contemporary authors' contributions to the theme, with particular emphasis on the contributions of David Maldavsky and his establishment based on psychoanalytic theory of the 10 laws that govern the bonds between individuals in a family, couple, or other grouping. Finally, based on clinical experiences, we examine family and marital pathologies resulting from situations in which the limits that differentiate individuals are abolished. It is argued that these situations constitute a transsubjectivity corresponding to a narcissistic functioning that generates fusional and adhesive relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo. Comprender y movilizar procesos de adaptación y cambio en parejas que presentaban dinámicas de relación configuradas como violentas, desde la reflexividad en articulación con la terapia narrativa. Metodología. La investigación intervención tiene un corte de tipo cualitativo. Se desarrolló a través de un estudio de caso múltiple en la ciudad de Bogotá (Colombia), con dos parejas mayores de edad, a partir de unos escenarios narrativos conversacionales propuestos. El proceso de análisis de resultados se llevó a cabo a través de categorías deductivas de tipo semántico desde el paradigma de las ciencias de la complejidad, en un orden sistémico. Resultados y Conclusiones. Por un lado, se reconoce un anclaje entre los conceptos adaptación y cambio, esto desde una posibilidad dialógica, recursiva y simultánea, en donde las dinámicas generadoras de violencia limitaban en las parejas la emergencia de novedades, los recursos de evolución y los procesos de bienestar. Por otro lado, la articulación simultánea de la reflexividad y la terapia narrativa, permitió escenarios de reflexión como reinvención identitaria de los sistemas participantes. Finalmente, se reconoce la identidad de la pareja como un proceso posibilitador de novedades adaptativas.

The aim of this study was to obtain validity evidence of the Escala de Ciber-Violencia en Parejas Adolescentes (Cib-VPA) in the Spanish young adults. A total of 298 undergraduate students (222 women, 75 men and 2 people who identified themselves as 'other') completed the Cib-VPA and other related measures of offline and online dating violence. Internal consistency and construct, convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated. In line with the original validation study, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided evidence for an 18-item model comprising 2 subscales, with 2 factors per subscale. All had acceptable internal consistency values. Total and subscale scores correlated positively with online and offline dating violence measures, with these correlations being stronger in subscales evaluating violence in the same direction (perpetrated or victimisation). As expected, no differences were observed according to gender. This study shows validity evidences of Cib-VPA scores, which can be quickly and inexpensively administered to large samples of young adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: Comprender la violencia que sufrieron las adultas jóvenes a causa del consumo de alcohol de su pareja. Métodos: Estudio cualitativo, descriptivo. Se llevó acabó de septiembre del 2021 a mayo del 2022. La selección de participantes fue por muestreo intencional siendo un total de siete participantes por disponibilidad. Recolección de datos a través de entrevista semiestructurada; los participantes emitieron su consentimiento informado y se realizó el análisis temático. Resultados principales: Después del análisis se construyeron 6 temas: alcohol y relación de pareja, tipos de violencia, celos y machismo, percepción del aumento del consumo de alcohol de la pareja, mezcla de emociones durante la relación y redes de apoyo. Conclusión general: Las participantes del estudio descubrieron como la relación con su pareja cambió a consecuencia del consumo de alcohol, articulada con actitudes de machismo y entre la violencia más común recibida incluyo daños físicos, psicológicos, sexuales, económicos y familiares.

Objective. To understand and mobilize processes of adaptation and change in couples that presented relationship dynamics configured as violent from reflexivity in articulation with narrative therapy. Methodology. This intervention research has a qualitative approach. It was developed through a multiple case study in the city of Bogotá (Colombia) with two couples of legal ages, based on proposed conversational narrative scenarios. The process of analyzing the results was carried out through semantictype deductive categories from the paradigm of the sciences of complexity in a systematic order. Results and conclusion. On the one hand, anchorage between the concepts adaptation and change is identified from a dialogical, recursive and simultaneous possibility where the dynamics that generated violence limited the emergence of novelties, the resources of evolution and the processes of well-being in couples. On the other hand, the simultaneous articulation of reflexivity and narrative therapy allowed reflection scenarios as an identity reinvention of the participating systems. Finally, the identity of the couple is recognized as a process that enables adaptive novelties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Cyber dating abuse is a public health problem that requires valid and reliable evaluations. The objective of this study was to cross-culturally adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire (CDAQ) for Mexican youth. Method: 1158 young students from 18 to 24 years old participated, 62.9 % were women. In the verification of the linguistic equivalence phase, four words from the original version in Spanish were adapted. Results: Acceptable fit indices were found in the confirmatory factor analysis, in addition, convergent and discriminant validity of the factors was found, except between the factors of victimization and perpetration of Direct Aggression. Evidence of divergent validity was found with quality of life and convergence with risk behaviors. Total reliability was greater than .87. Conclusions: The findings suggest that CDAQ could be a useful questionnaire to assess cyber dating abuse among young Mexicans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Good treatment refers to the ability of people to take care of each other. Research on good treatment has focused on social, health and educational fields. However, it has not been explored in the couple's case. The purpose of the study was to develop a scale to measure good treatment in the relationship of men and women in Mexico City and its metropolitan area. An instrumental study was carried out in which 800 people participated. Construct validity was obtained from an exploratory factor analysis. The scale of good treatment in the couple relationship was made up of four subscales: meaning (alpha = .95), reasons (alpha = .95), consequences (alpha = .97) and strategies (alpha = .95). It was concluded that good treatment in couples in Mexico is linked to the expression of affection, respect and care of the other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción. Cuba transita por un contexto cambiante que impacta el escenario fa- miliar. Ello exige nuevas miradas hacia las familias desde las Ciencias y la política. El lugar que ocupan adolescentes y jóvenes en los ámbitos de familia y pareja, y sus modos de interacción, contribuye al redimensionamiento de políticas de juventud. Métodos. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto y se realizó la triangulación de la información resultante de las técnicas aplicadas. La muestra fue representativa por grupos etarios y zonas de residencia. Se consideraron los enfoques de género y derechos. Resulta- dos y Discusión. Sistematizada información científica sobre adolescentes y jóvenes en los ámbitos referidos. Fueron caracterizados modos de interacción de estas pobla- ciones atendiendo a relaciones afectivas, información/orientación y participación en estos espacios. Diseñado e implementado el programa de orientación “Aprendiendo a vivir en familia y pareja”, desde la metodología de la educación popular. Conclusiones, el estudio de problemáticas relacionadas con estas poblaciones, sin particularizar -suficientemente- en sus dinámicas, limita las posibilidades de comprender pautas de interacción que acontecen en estos contextos y propician la vulneración de algunos derechos. Caracterizar las interacciones de adolescentes y jóvenes en los escenarios de familia y pareja fue esencial para la acción de orientación, enfocada en sus nece- sidades más sentidas.

La relación de pareja es uno de los mejores escenarios en donde el apoyo se manifi esta como recurso a la vez que como estrategia de mantenimiento y satisfacción entre sus miembros; sin embargo, su operacionalización ha sido parcialmente abordada y no se ha estudiado la disposición a recibirlo y la satisfacción con su recepción. Por ello, esta investigación se propuso adaptar y validar el Cuestionario de Apoyo Social (CAS) de Sarason et al. (1983) en el contexto de la relación de pareja con el propósito de diseñar y validar una escala de disposición para recibir apoyo social ambas en México, así como evaluar la invarianza de medición por sexo para ambas escalas. Tras contar con la participación de 202 parejas heterosexuales mexicanas, se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratoriosy confirmatorios con el fin de examinar tanto la conformación factorial como el ajuste al modelo y las posibles variaciones por sexo en cada caso. La Escala de Satisfacción con el Apoyo Recibido de la Pareja (antes CAS) mostró tres factores, lo cual indica especifi cidades no reportadas previamente, mientras que la Escala de Disposición a Recibir Apoyo Social resultó unidimensional. Con base en esto, se obtuvieron dos escalas cuyos índices de confiabilidad y validez resultaron satisfactorios para su uso en investigación básica y aplicada.

La infidelidad es un importante constructo a medir, al ser una problemática que conlleva consecuencias psicológicas y físicas (Buss, 2016; González et al., 2009; Shackelford et al., 2003). Se buscó determinar la validez y la confiabilidad del Inventario Multidimensional de Infidelidad (IMIN) para muestras colombianas. Se aplicó el instrumento a 674 participantes colombianos, 224 hombres (33.28%) y 449 mujeres (66.71%), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 81 años (M = 25.11;DE = 10.56), llevando a cabo análisis factoriales exploratorios, confirmatorios y de consistencia interna para cada subescala. En la escala de Tendencia a la infidelidad, se identificaron 3 factores que explicaron el 66.74% de la varianza total acumulada; en la escala de Motivos a la infidelidad, se hallaron siete factores, explicando el 65.02% de la varianza total; en la subescala de Creencias a la infidelidad, se obtuvieron cinco factores, explicando el 58.33% de la varianza acumulada; y en la subescala de Consecuencias de la infidelidad se hallaron dos factores claramente constituidos, que explican el 57.58% de la varianza acumulada. Todos los anteriores tenían modelos confirmatorios con adecuados niveles de bondad de ajuste y adecuados indicadores alfas de Cronbach, correlaciones ítem-ítem e ítem-prueba, además de concordancia con la propuesta original del instrumento.

The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between attachment and satisfaction with the partner relationship, considering the mediating role of emotional competences, and taking into account the influence of gender, age, and duration of the relationship. 265 Spanish youths (59.2% women) between 18 and 36 years of age with a current partner participated in the study. The most relevant results indicate that subjects with a dismissive avoidant style show less relationship satisfaction. Along with the fearful style, they are the ones with the poorest emotional skills. Attachment anxiety and avoidance are negatively related to relationship satisfaction, being mediated by emotional regulation. The importance of developing emotional education programs in youths as a way of mitigating the effect an insecure attachment style is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aims of this research were to analyze the presence of cyberviolence in young couples, to explore the associations between cyberviolence, emotional dependence, empathy, and filioparental relationships, and to identify predictors of cyberviolence. For this purpose, a convenience sample consisting of 469 university students was selected. They completed the following measures: The Adolescent Social Network Partner Violence Scale, the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Dating Emotional Dependence in Youth and Adolescents, and the Basic Empathy Scale. 51.9% of the sample admitted to having suffered cyber-violence, and 56.6% admitted to having perpetrated it. Boys scored higher than girls on cyberviolence and cybervictimization. It was found that the higher the level of education, the lower level of cyberviolence and the higher the number of partners, the greater the possibility of suffering cyberviolence. The scarce empirical evidence about the factors related to cyberviolence points to the need of further research on individual and family variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article, in which we relate attachment and family therapy, responds to one of the purposes of psychotherapy, which is to strengthen mental life. To do this, therapists must create a space of coherence, responsibility and safe limits that creates a secure base in the relationships with patients. We must take into account that the family has an essential role in the development of the individual and that the family environment is the first emotional climate in which the child lives. In order to fulfil the support that must be given between family members, different figures of attachment are generated. For this reason, we will first focus on couple and attachment relationships, their different styles, the choice of partner and the parallels between these romantic adult relationships and between the baby and his or her caregivers. Secondly, we have analysed parenthood and attachment by evaluating parental skills and pointing out the indicators of good treatment of parents and children, also making a brief approach to the particularities of the adoption process. Finally, we will give our more practical view of the work with families, concluding the importance, from our point of view, of addressing attachment not only inside the family members but also between the family and the therapists.

Objective: To analyse health differences among partnered individuals in Spain aged 65-81 considering their combined (education of both partners and age gap) and household (economic capacity of the household) characteristics. Method: A cross-sectional study of the 2015 Spanish sample of the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions survey (EU-SILC) on partnered individuals aged 65-81 years (N = 1787). Using logistic regression models separately for women and men we obtained odds and predicted probabilities of having less than good health (95% confidence intervals) according to combined information from both partners on education and age, the household's economic capacity and partner's health status. Results: Probabilities of not having good health are significantly less among lower educated women whose partners are more highly educated (compared to both partners being lower educated) and among women whose partner is younger or has good health status. The latter also applies to men. Living in a household without economic difficulties also favours health (both sexes). Conclusions: For both sexes a partner's health status is the variable that shows the largest effect on elderly partnered Spanish people's health but women's health appears to be more sensitive to their partner's educational attainment and the household's economic situation. Resumen: Objetivo: Analizar las diferencias de salud entre la población española de 65 a 81 años de edad que vive en pareja, considerando características individuales, combinadas de ambos miembros y generales de la pareja. Método: Estudio transversal de la muestra española del año 2015 de la Encuesta Europea de Condiciones de Vida de personas mayores (edades 65-81 años) que conviven en pareja (N = 1787). Mediante modelos de regresión logística independientes para mujeres y hombres se obtuvo la estimación de las probabilidades de no tener buena salud autopercibida (intervalos de confianza del 95%) según la combinación del nivel de estudios y la edad de ambos miembros de la pareja, así como la capacidad económica del hogar y el estado de salud del cónyuge. Resultados: Las probabilidades de no tener buena salud son significativamente menores entre las mujeres con menor nivel de educación cuyas parejas son más educadas (en comparación con las que tienen menos educación) y entre las mujeres cuya pareja es más joven o tiene un buen estado de salud. Esto último también se aplica a los hombres. Vivir en un hogar sin dificultades económicas también favorece la salud en ambos sexos. Conclusiones: Para ambos sexos, el estado de salud de la pareja es la variable que muestra el mayor efecto sobre la salud de la población mayor española que vive en pareja, aunque la salud de las mujeres parece ser más sensible al nivel educativo de su pareja y a la situación económica general del hogar.

Las premisas histórico-socioculturales (PHSC´s) son normas y creencias que regulan el comportamiento de una cultura en particular y se transmiten de generación en generación. En la pareja, una premisa en México es que “El compromiso da formalidad a la relación de pareja”. Sin embargo, los individuos no reciben pasivamente las PHSC´s, las modifican o las contradicen con sus acciones lo que puede crear disonancia cognoscitiva. Entonces, la disonancia ocurre cuando coexisten dos cogniciones incongruentes en un individuo. Esto puede ocurrir por la llegada de nueva información o por trasgredir una norma cultural. El objetivo del estudio es comprobar si la opinión contra actitudinal sobre PHSC`s acerca del compromiso en las relaciones de pareja ocasiona disonancia cognoscitiva en los individuos, medida como ansiedad. Se diseñó un experimento donde se manipuló la PHSC sobre la relación de pareja que los individuos recibían y el estatus de la fuente proveniente: 2 (PHSC: Concordante/ Contra actitudinal) x 2 (Fuente de alto y bajo estatus). Como variable dependiente se midió la ansiedad estado y como covariante el nivel de compromiso de los participantes en su relación de pareja. Participaron 41 individuos. Los resultados mostraron en el grupo de fuente de bajo estatus los participantes con una PHSC concordante se mostraron más preocupados, mientras que los que recibieron una PHSC contra actitudinal estuvieron más tranquilos. En el primer grupo se creó disonancia debido a dos cogniciones incongruentes (nivel educativo y pensar igual que una fuente de bajo estatus) lo que afectó su autoconcepto. Mientras que la condición de artículo de alto estatus no generó diferencias.
