This systematic review analysed published data on the effectiveness of enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E) for adolescents with eating disorders. Of the 28 papers retrieved, eight (6 case series, 1 prospective cohort study, and 1 non-randomized effectiveness trial) met the inclusion criteria and revealed the following five findings. First, outpatient CBT-E is well accepted by adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa; it is completed by about two-thirds of participants, and produces improvements in eating-disorder and general psychopathology. Remission from anorexia nervosa is achieved by about 50% of patients at 12-month follow-up. Second, outpatient CBT-E seems more effective for adolescents than adults. Third, inpatient CBT-E for adolescents with anorexia nervosa seems particularly effective-about 80% of patients achieve normal weight by 12-month follow-up. Fourth, CBT-E also seems promising for adolescents who are not underweight. Fifth, CBT-E appears to yield similar outcomes to FBT in terms of weight regain and eating-disorder and general psychopathology improvements at 6-and 12-month follow-up. The fourth and fifth findings derive from a single study and require confirmation. In conclusion, CBT-E is a viable and promising treatment for adolescents with eating disorders.

En Ruidos en la web. Cómo se informan los adolescentes en la era digital, Morduchowicz aporta evidencia empírica y teórica sobre este problema de falta de sentido crítico que comparten la mayoría de adolescentes respecto de los contenidos de la web. En este sentido, señala que si bien siete de diez adolescentes argentinos están todo el día conectados a la web, la mayoría no adopta una mirada crítica sobre este conjunto de dispositivos y plataformas digitales, ni se interroga sobre su origen y financiamiento. La mayoría tiende a quedarse con el primer sitio web encontrado al buscar una información sin detenerse a verificar la información ni a comparar distintas fuentes. Además, la sobrevaloración que realizan los internautas sobre la rapidez en el acceso a contenidos conlleva un significativo riesgo para distinguir las fuentes fiables de aquellas que no son, más allá de la dificultad contemporánea para darse el tiempo de procesar y
reflexionar sobre la información leída.

El inicio temprano del consumo de alcohol se relaciona con el desarrollo de un patrón de consumo riesgoso y de problemas relacionados al consumo. Dada la importancia de desarrollar modelos conceptuales integrales y longitudinales se analizó el efecto prospectivo de diferentes variables sobre el consumo de alcohol adolescente (CAA). Participaron 332 adolescentes que completaron escalas para medir rasgos de personalidad, expectativas hacia el alcohol (EA), motivos de consumo de alcohol (MC), consumo de alcohol de pares (CP) y padres, apoyo parental y CAA. Se realizaron dos administraciones, al inicio y 12 meses después. Se aplicó la técnica de path análisis para determinar el efecto prospectivo de los factores implicados. Los rasgos de personalidad y las EA positivas tuvieron un menor efecto, mientras que el CAA inicial, el CP y las EA negativas fueron importantes predictores del CAA. Los MC fueron el antecedente más próximo del consumo. Se destaca la importancia de considerar múltipl...

This project studies the Portuguese female fashion market. We intended to determine patterns of consumer brand loyalty across brands and ages. By interviewing 8 young adults and surveying 125 teens and 87 adults, we found that brands’ segmentation by usage per age segment is related with differentiation in brand loyalty and peer pressure. We also found that teens have higher attitudinal brand loyalty while adults have higher behavioral loyalty. Moreover, brand loyalty in teens is more susceptible to peer pressure. The results imply that customer relationship management strategies should be differentiated according to age segment. We also derived marketing implications with a focus on each brand’s loyalty profile.

International literature has shown that adolescents represent the population most at risk of fatal and nonfatal motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). Adolescents’ alexithymic traits and significant use of immature defense strategies have been seen to play a key role. This study aimed to investigate the possible mediation role played by defense strategies use in the relationship between alexithymia and MVCs. Our sample consisted of 297 adolescents divided into four subgroups, based on the number of visits to the emergency department due to an MVC. We assessed adolescents’ alexithymic traits and defense strategies use through self-report instruments. Results showed that males reported a higher rate of MVCs than females. Higher rates of MVCs are associated with more alexithymic traits and maladaptive defense strategies use. Adolescents’ Acting Out and Omnipotence use significantly mediated the relationship between alexithymia and MVCs. Our findings suggest the recidivism of MVCs as an attem...

Ce livre analyse les discours, les modèles et les contre-modèles d’une adolescence féminine qui charrie encore aujourd’hui son lot d’inquiétudes. À travers une analyse socioculturelle de la notion d’adolescence, Laura Di Spurio retrace les mutations et les permanences de la figure de la jeune fille. Au cours du XXe siècle, l’adolescence se mue en classe d’âge pour bientôt devenir un espace culturel, social et biopsychologique. L’adolescence devient un principe explicatif « pour toutes ». Ce nouveau modèle adolescent est dessiné par des adultes emplis de peurs face à cette jeunesse féminine qu’ils jugent plus précoce, plus libre et plus affirmée. Comment accorder cette notion pensée au masculin sans troubler un féminin que l’on voudrait éternel ? Comment appliquer cette notion à toutes les jeunes filles, même à celles dont le quotidien s’éloigne du modèle tracé par les scientifiques ? Que fait l’adolescence aux jeunes filles ? Et enfin, comment celles-ci troublent-elles la notion ?
Ce sont les questions posées par cet ouvrage qui, à partir d’un corpus de sources variées, raconte un demi- siècle d’histoire du côté des jeunes filles.

The tendency to keep secrets in adolescents has been studied in particular in their relationships with their parents and associated with psychosocial disadvantages. The current study focused on peer relationships and investigated the effects of friendship quality, loneliness in a multidimensional perspective, and self-esteem on secrecy from friends. Italian adolescents (N = 457; 47% male; 100% white) aged between 13 and 19 years (M = 16.11; SD = 1.53) reported their secrecy from friends, peer and parent-related loneliness, aversion and affinity for aloneness, their self-esteem and the quality of their relationships with their friends. The results showed that peer-related loneliness, affinity for aloneness and self-esteem in particular affect keeping secrets from friends, independent of the participant's gender. Moreover, peer-related loneliness and affinity for aloneness mediated the relationship between self-esteem and secrecy. The data were discussed in the light of adolescenc...

RESUMO. Este estudo constitui-se de uma reflexão sobre o histórico das políticas públicas em saúde voltadas para adolescentes e jovens brasileiros. Discutiu-se, especialmente, sobre o Programa Saúde do Adolescente (PROSAD), com atenção para a população-alvo, o direcionamento das ações para atender os adolescentes, a variabilidade das metas propostas e a equipe disponível para intervir na população. Este estudo apresenta uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre políticas públicas na saúde para adolescentes e jovens e análise crítica do documento PROSAD. A discussão teórica foi organizada em três eixos temáticos: (1) Os adolescentes e jovens nas políticas públicas de saúde; (2) Programa Saúde do Adolescente (PROSAD); e (3) o PROSAD e o atendimento ao adolescente na prática. Os principais resultados indicam que o programa não tem atendido todos os adolescentes brasileiros. A articulação de ações para contemplar o público-alvo apresentou fragilidades, principalmente quanto ao protagonismo dos adolescentes nas ações em saúde e à pouca variabilidade de metas. O PROSAD reconheceu a importância da capacitação profissional para o atendimento qualificado ao adolescente, porém enfrentou desafios ligados ao reconhecimento do adolescente como ativo e participativo. Estes resultados indicam a necessidade de avaliações com rigor metodológico para subsidiar a correção de rumos e a (re)orientação de estratégias de ação em saúde voltadas ao público adolescente. ABSTRACT. This study sought to reflect the history of public health policies aimed at teenagers and young Brazilians. It was discussed , especially, the Adolescent Health Program (PROSAD), with attention to: target population, directing actions to attend teens, variability of proposed goals and staff available to intervene in the population. This study presents a narrative review of the literature on public policy in health for adolescents and youth and the critical analysis of the document PROSAD. The theoretical discussion is organized into three themes: (1) Teenagers and young people in public health policies; (2) Program Adolescent Health (PROSAD) and (3) PROSAD and care to adolescents in practice. The main results indicate that the program not answered all Brazilian adolescents. The joint actions to contemplate the audience submitted fragility referring, mainly, to the protagonism of adolescents in health actions and low variability of goal. The PROSAD recognized the importance of professional training for skilled care to adolescents, however, faced challenges linked to the recognition of adolescent as active and participative. These results indicate the need for reviews with methodological rigor to subsidize path corrections and (re) orientation of strategies for health action aimed at teenager audiences.

Adolescents with hearing impairments have decreased motor skills and motor ability in comparison with normal hearing Adolescents that may lead to less Physical Activity (PA). Hearing impairments might have lower levels of self-efficacy for health behaviors compared to other groups. These issues may prevent them from building a strong social network outside of their own family, which the developing feeling of selfefficacy is particularly complicated for hearing impairments adolescents. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the questionnaire related for physical activity factors. Thirty-six participants from Iraqi schools for deaf adolescent girls participated in this study. To verify that the questionnaire was reliable and without errors, two verification steps were implemented. First, a validation phase was conducted by using experts in related fields to check the questionnaire. All their recommendations were comments obtained was followed before the second s...

The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between Internet addiction andsocial anxiety and social skills difficulties in a sample consisting of 446 Spanish adolescents between 12 and 16 years old.Our results show thatadolescents with high scores in problematic use of the Internetpresent higher scores in social anxiety and social skills difficulties. Furthermore, the intrapersonal addiction showed a positive significant association both with the degree of social anxiety and with lack of assertiveness. On the other hand, the interpersonal addiction did more with social anxiety. Data from this study can help to design and implement prevention programs for a healthy use of the Internet at school and inhome settings.

[Resumen de Gedisa]: Cada vez más niños, niñas y adolescentes utilizan los medios digitales para descargar música, ver vídeos, hacer las tareas escolares, participar en redes sociales y, sobre todo, comunicarse con amigos y familiares. Hoy las personas nos relacionamos con el mundo a través de internet, y los niños y niñas no son ajenos a esa rea- lidad. Con la participación de Sonia Livingstone y un panel de expertos europeos y latinoamericanos este libro describe con rigor cómo estos consumidores digitales están interactuando con y en internet. Cada capítulo se centra en un aspecto concreto: el ciberbulling, el sexting, el contacto con desconocidos, el uso excesivo, la perspectiva de género, la gestión del desembarco de internet en la escuela o la labor de mediación de las familias, entre otros. El mundo de oportunidades que ofrece internet no está exento de problemas y situaciones peligrosas derivadas del mal uso de la red. Más allá de tópicos y alarmismo, es necesario formar en la prevención de riesgos y alentar a niños y niñas a que asuman su papel como internautas exigentes y conscientes con autonomía y seguridad. Este libro proporciona un diagnóstico de situación actual, fiable y exhaustivo basado en evidencias cientícas, que será útil tanto a investigadores, a educadores como a agentes implicados en la seguridad de la infancia en internet.

Between the Shadows es un prototipo de alta fidelidad de una novela visual interactiva desarrollada por el equipo SEVEMI.  El objetivo de este fue atender la problemática de la falta de comunicación asertiva de emociones y sentimientos displacenteros en adolescentes de 14 a 17 años con los adultos en su contexto. Para llegar a esta propuesta se realizó una extensa investigación tomando como base la metodología “Design Thinking” o “Human-Centered Design”, la cuál toma como centro al usuario y sus necesidades para poder crear una solución que atienda la problemática observada. Esta investigación requirió de la capacidad de creatividad e innovar de sus integrantes, al igual que llevar a cabo diferentes métodos de acercamiento con expertas en psicología y con los mismos usuarios para poder empatizar con ellos, definir el problema en base a los hallazgos realizados y pasar a un proceso de ideación, prototipado y testeo que diera como resultado una propuesta de solución a los individuos en la etapa de la adolescencia media.

La serie “Las del Hockey” (The Girls hockey/ Les de l'hoquei) es una creación nacida de un Trabajo final del grado de Comunicación Audiovisual de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), creada por Ona Anglada, Laura Azemar, Natalia Boadas y Marta Vivet. La serie ha sido producida por Brutal Media y emitida también por TV3. A través del método de estudio de caso analizamos la serie “Las del Hockey” desde una metodológica mixta haciendo, uso de instrumentos como las entrevistas semiestructuradas a observadoras privilegiadas, estudio de nueve perfiles de la red social Instagram, análisis de contenido de trece capítulos de la serie emitidos en la primera temporada y de la audiencia, comparando la primera y segunda temporada. Los resultados de nuestra investigación ponen de manifiesto que las series de ficción han sido testigo de la evolución social hacia la igualdad de género y en la adquisición de derechos de la mujer en la sociedad. A pesar de ello, en numerosas producciones se proyectan roles y estereotipos de género basados en la discriminación. Es imprescindible incentivar en todos los espacios educativos formales y no formales una coeducación mediática que permita el desarrollo de un pensamiento crítico, de una actitud crítica.

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of variability of attentional focus distance by self-talk on the learning of table tennis backhand. Methods: Therefore, 80 high school girls by mean age 16(+-0/62) yr. were randomly selected from sport school of Sanandaj and assigned to 5 groups. After pretest, the participants performed 180 forehand strokes during 6 sessions with repeating the words *slightly rotation* in the internal focus group *slightly open* in the near external focus group, *over the net* in the far external focus group, and each of the words *slightly rotation, slightly open, and over the net* respectively in each 2 sessions in the increasing distance of attentional focus group. Control group performed without self-talk during acquisition phase. Retention test was performed 48 hours after acquisition test in the same situation without self-talk, and after half an hour break, transfer test was done by changing the direction of target (parallel...

This study aims to estimate orthodontic treatment need among 15-24 year-old individuals in Montevideo, Uruguay, and the association of occlusal traits with demographic, clinical and socioeconomic factors, considering a life course approach. A cross-sectional study using data from the First National Oral Health Survey in Uruguay was conducted. A two-stage cluster procedure was used to select a sample of 278 individuals in Montevideo. Household interviews and oral examinations were performed by six dentists. Dental Aesthetic (DAI) and Decayed Missing and Filled Teeth Indices (DMFT) were used to assess orthodontic treatment need and dental caries, respectively. Early life and current socioeconomic factors were obtained from the interview. Ordinal logistic regression was used to model the DAI index. Prevalence of definite malocclusion was 20.6%, followed by severe (8.2%) and very severe (7.6%). In the adjusted analysis, individuals with untreated dental caries (OR = 1.11; 95%CI: 1.03-1....

Resumen
Este estudio buscó identificar la estructura semántica del dominio cultural, el promedio de conocimiento y el grado de consenso cultural manifestado por los adolescentes sobre el intento de suicidio. Fue un estudio cualitativo de listas libres, con un muestreo propositivo no aleatorizado de 27 adolescentes entre 13 y 18 años. Los resultados evidenciaron un solo modelo semántico. En lo estructural se identificó el problema familiar como una causa importante del intento suicida; las categorías depresión y tristeza se consideraron como signos y síntomas previos a esta tentativa y no como causas. Como estrategias de prevención, se consideró recibir información mediante pláticas o establecer conversaciones sobre los problemas. Este modelo permite proponer estrategias de prevención que privilegien el núcleo familiar.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify the semantic structure of the cultural domain, as well as the average knowledge and degree of cultural consensus among adolescents regarding suicide attempts. It was a qualitative study, using the free-listing technique, with a non-random sample made up of 27 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18. The results showed a single semantic model. In such structure, family problems were identified as an important cause of suicide attempts, while depression and sadness were identified as signs and symptoms prior to the attempt, rather than as causes. Information talks and conversations about problems were suggested as prevention strategies. This model makes it possible to propose prevention strategies that prioritize the family nucleus.

Resumo
Este estudo buscou identificar a estrutura semántica do domínio cultural, o nível de conhecimento e o grau de consenso cultural manifestado pelos adolescentes acerca da tentativa de suicídio. Foi um estudo qualitativo com listas livres e uma amostra propositiva, não aleatória, com 27 adolescentes entre 13 e 18 anos. Os resultados evidenciaram somente um modelo semântico. No estrutural identificou-se o problema familiar como uma causa importante para as tentativas de suicídio; enquanto que as categorias depressão e tristeza foram consideradas não como causas, mas como signos e síntomas prévios a esta tentativa. Como estratégias de prevenção foram consideradas a recepção da informação mediante diálogos livres ou mediante conversações sobre os problemas. Esse modelo permite propor estratégias de prevenção que privilegiem o núcleo familiar.

A proposta da Cultura da Paz pretende mobilizar pessoas do mundo inteiro para buscar novas formas de convivência baseadas na conciliação, na generosidade, na solidariedade, no respeito absoluto aos direitos humanos e à diferença, a rejeição de toda forma de opressão e de violência, a justa distribuição dos recursos naturais e humanos, o livre fluxo de informações e o compartilhamento do conhecimento. Uma das formas que temos trabalhado esta cultura da paz é através do lúdico, tanto para crianças como para adultos, dentro e fora da escola, onde brincar passou a ser uma forma de sermos nós mesmos e procurarmos a formação de grupos sólidos e solidários, capazes de resolver os seus conflitos de forma não-violenta.

Objective: Although perfectionism is a prominent personality disposition, only a few longitudinal studies have investigated how perfectionism develops. Theoretical models and qualitative studies have posited that academic success is a developmental antecedent of perfectionism. Yet, quantitative studies tend to interpret the cross-sectional relationships as academic success being an outcome of perfectionism. In light of these gaps in the literature, the present study was the first to investigate the longitudinal relationships between perfectionistic strivings, perfectionistic concerns, academic achievement, and academic efficacy examining academic success as an antecedent of perfectionism. Method: The study examined 487 adolescents (aged 12-19 years, 54% female) using a crosslagged longitudinal design with three time points spaced 4-5 months apart. Results: Results showed that academic achievement predicted relative increases in both perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns, even when including academic efficacy. In addition, academic efficacy predicted relative increases in perfectionistic strivings. Discussion: This is the first study to show that academic achievement is a common factor in the development of perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns, whereas academic efficacy plays a role only in the development of perfectionistic strivings. Conclusions: Implications of the findings for the development of perfectionism are discussed.

A través de una encuesta (n: 204), 50 entrevistas en profundidad y 12 meses de observaciones, este artículo explora las diferencias en el acceso y uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación entre adolescentes de sectores medios y populares de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Además, indaga en las tensiones y los desafíos de los planes 1 a 1, principal estrategia de inclusión digital implementada por el gobierno argentino. Por último, aporta evidencia empírica acerca de que los adolescentes de sectores populares son quienes más se benefician con estos planes, aunque al mismo tiempo son quienes más se perjudican tanto por sus limitaciones como por las dificultades en su aplicación.

Em 02 de março de 2021, a 6ª Turma do Superior Tribunal de Justiça proferiu decisão histórica concedendo ordem de habeas corpus para anular prova obtida durante invasão policial não autorizada em uma residência e absolver o paciente condenado pela prática de tráfico de drogas (STJ, HC 598.051)[1]. No caso, embora os policiais miliares tenham alegado que tiveram autorização do morador para ingressar na casa, o acusado afirmou que os agentes forçaram a entrada, a qual não conseguiu resistir. O precedente segue orientação do próprio Supremo Tribunal Federal que, no julgamento do RE 603.616, com repercussão geral reconhecida, aprovou a tese de que a entrada forçada em domicílio, sem mandado judicial, só é lícita, mesmo em período noturno, quando amparada em razões concretas, devidamente justificadas posteriormente, que indiquem que dentro da casa ocorria situação de flagrante delito. Pois bem. Como se sabe, o Estado, historicamente, intervém na vida das pessoas, restringindo seus direitos fundamentais nas mais diferentes searas, pelos mais diversos motivos, sempre com o objetivo declarado de proteger terceiros, bens constitucionais coletivos ou, ainda, de promover objetivos impostos pelo Poder. Basta que lembremos da admissibilidade de interceptações telefônicas como restrição à privacidade e ao sigilo das comunicações, para fins de investigação criminal ou instrução processual penal. Todavia, para que tais propósitos não redundem em violações, cabe ao Direito regulamentar e, em especial, controlar (a partir da imposição de limites) tais formas de intervenção. Fala-se, então, na existência de um direito penal (ou processual penal) garantista, como redutor das violações e violências praticadas pelos agentes do Estado a pretexto da repressão de crimes. Fala-se, também, nas garantias do administrado contra as intervenções realizadas pelos agentes do Poder Público (por exemplo, no exercício do poder de polícia) e em garantias do contribuinte contra o Fisco, dentre outras. De modo semelhante, quando o Estado intervém na vida de famílias-e, principalmente, na vida de famílias historicamente marginalizadas-, ainda que a pretexto de proteger crianças e adolescentes, destinatários de proteção integral e prioridade absoluta (art. 227, CF), também precisamos contar com um aparato legal e jurídico que proteja as pessoas (pais, mães, tios, avós, madrinhas, padrinhos) contra abusos e novas violências. Luigi Ferrajoli aponta que o "garantismo" pode ser compreendido de três formas diversas, mas conexas: como um modelo normativo de direito; uma teoria jurídica da "validade" e da "efetividade"; e uma filosofia política que requer do Estado o ônus da justificação.

The aim of the study was to examine how school counsellors cope with suicide attempts among students in their schools. A qualitative phenomenological methodology was used. Participants included 24 Israeli high school counsellors aged 32-62. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analysed thematically. The findings indicate that counsellors find students' suicide attempts difficult, disconcerting, painful and confusing to manage, and note the complex nature of their dealings with the adolescents, their families and the school administrators. Despite feeling insecure about their ability to provide help, the counsellors felt they were at the forefront of the treatment effort in the school environment. To cope with the responsibility and challenges, the counsellors relied mainly on informal sources of support. Implications for practice are discussed. Review of Literature The rate of suicides and attempted suicides among adolescents has increased over the last 20 years (Hedegaard, Curtin, & Warner, 2018). Suicide is the third leading cause of death in adolescents, following accidents and homicides, and the frequency of suicide drastically increases during adolescence (Dilillo et al., 2015; Shain, 2016). Most suicide attempts do not end in actual death; however, after the first failed attempt, the individual is at increased risk of a repeated attempt (Shand, Vogl, & Robinson, 2018). A World Health Organization survey (WHO, 2014) comprising 108,705 participants from 21 countries found that suicide attempts are preceded by approximately one year of planning (Borges et al., 2010). In Israel in 2016 there were 390 suicides, 321 men and 69 women. The corrected suicide rate by age for Jews is an average of three times higher than for Arabs (Gal et al., 2012). Approximately 14% of high school students seriously considered attempting suicide, whereas 10.9% made a plan and 6.3% made at least one attempt (CDC, 2010). In Israel the highest rate of attempted suicide is found in the 15-24 age group, followed by the 24-44 age group. Attempted suicides are higher among Jewish women and men than among Arabs (Haklai, 2019). The Israeli sample consisted of 1117 adolescents in the 9th through 11th grades. Those who attempted suicide were characterised by higher levels of suicide ideation, distress, and victimisation. Low levels of self-disclosure and parental support were significantly associated with undisclosed suicide attempts (Levi-Belz et al., 2019). Suicidal behaviour has no single explanation. Indeed, suicide is a final step that results from a range of problems and is influenced by various factors, including personality characteristics, thinking styles, and life events and processes (Kennebeck, Bonin, Brent, & Solomon, 2017). Adolescence is a period of unregulated mental and psychosocial changes: a search for identity, separation from parents, and major

Presentación en 1° Encuentro sobre Juventud, Medios de Comunicación e Industrias Culturales (UNLP, La Plata, 2009). Exponemos los contrastes en el acceso, disponibilidad y apropiación de TIC entre adolescentes de diferentes niveles socio-económicos, en base a una investigación propia, realizada en Córdoba entre 2005 y 2008.

Se examinó el modelo de perfeccionismo 2x2 en la adolescencia, en el contexto de la Educación Física, empleando diversas variables dependien- tes: autoconcepto, afectividad y satisfacción con la vida. Un total de 331 estudiantes de educación secundaria (58.9 % varones y 41.1 % mujeres; M = 14.29, DE = 1.43) tomó parte en el estudio. Los análisis de regresión jerárquica moderada mostraron que el tipo de Auto-exigencia Puro se asoció a resultados más adaptativos en comparación con el No-perfeccionismo. El de Presión Externa Puro se relacionó con resultados más negativos en comparación con los otros tipos de perfeccionismo. Finalmente, el Perfec- cionismo Mixto se asoció a una mejor adaptación psicológica que el tipo Presión Externa Puro, y a una adaptación más débil con respecto al Perfec- cionismo Autoexigente Puro.

Introduction: Assuring high quality health literacy for adolescents is important in the United Arab Emirates to facilitate government's Vision 2021 objectives of superior health and intellectual attainment of young people, as well as to reduce very high prevalence of adolescent obesity and other behavioural and dietary risk factors for health. Methods: In mid-2016, the authors applied the validated Newest Vital Sign Health Literacy instrument to 440 Emirati nationals and Non-Emirati (expatriate) high school students in grades 7 to 12 with mean age of 14 years in Dubai, UAE. Results: This study indicates that the mean literacy score was 2.7/6 and that 27.95% were highly likely to suffer from limited health literacy, 38.64% of respondents were possibly literate, and while 33.41% were highly literate. Emirati females demonstrated higher health literacy compared with males (3.26, 95%, CI: 2.94-3.57 Vs 2.67, CI: 3.30-3.04). Non-Emirati male (2.73, 95% CI: 2.43-3.02) demonstrated higher health literacy compared with Emirati male. In contrast, Emirati female demonstrated higher health literacy compared with Non-Emirati female (2.36, 95% CI: 2.07-2.65). There was no significant difference in health literacy scores related to school grade. Conclusion: These findings indicate a low percentage of highly health literate UAE adolescents, highlighting the need to improve health literacy training among UAE adolescents, and especially among Emirati males.

The body image is to be reconstructed during adolescence, which is more difficult in the case of somatic illness and social stigma. This research aimed to study adolescents' body image with scoliosis, students of a special educational institution in Ukraine socially identified with stigma as 'a school for scoliotics'. The participants (n=104) of the research were adolescents (13-15 years old) with scoliosis from the institution mentioned above (n=52, 24 males, 28 females) and adolescents without scoliosis from the same city (n=52, 24 males, 28 females). Two methods were used to collect the data: (1) Self-portraits; (2) Dembo-Rubinstein Self-Assessment Scale. The adolescents with scoliosis and labeled as 'scoliotics' face additional obstructions in their psychic body development compared to their peers. For instance, they tend to overinvest in the desired image of a healthy body and do not feel able to get it. We found the markers of four different ways to cope with the situation by the adolescents with scoliosis: (a) identification as 'a scoliotic' instead of hope to be cured soon; (b) psychological distancing from the others to preserve the desire of a more attractive body image; (c) repression or denial of the body parts which could relate to scoliosis; (d) infantilization, aimed to slow down the discovery of their maturing corporeality. Consequently, adolescents with scoliosis affected by stigma experience the gap or conflict between their current, desired and perceived realistic body image.

Este trabalho analisará como a formação em Educação Física habilita os professores para o enfrentamento pedagógico da diversidade e das relações de sociabilidades nas aulas com estudantes do Ensino  Fundamental - II Ciclo; discutirá as relações de hierarquia entre os
mesmos e, por fim, buscará um perfil destes alunos. Para tal, esta pesquisa envolve professores e estudantes de duas escolas públicas da cidade de Belém do Pará, agentes de capitais cultural e social distintos (BOURDIEU, 1979) que coabitam o mesmo espaço escolar, interagindo e
(in)tolerando uns aos outros. Estes agentes serão analisados de modo consubstanciado por meio de questionários específicos. Em princípio, a partir da literatura especializada, verifica-se que a despeito do previsto na Legislação relativa ao Ensino Fundamental, e aos princípios  norteadores advindos de todas as disciplinas a que os estudantes estão vinculados, há uma questão em aberto a ser analisada com mais vagar: a dificuldade, de professores e estudantes, em enfrentar a  diferença nas relações de sociabilidades assim como seu impacto na sala de aula, em todas as disciplinas desse nível de ensino.

Parental factors such as control, rejection, and inconsistency have been reported as associated with psychological maladjustment. The papers in this Special Section are based on a multinational study examining the association between these parental factors and adolescents' psychological disorders in nine western and eastern countries , differing in family connectedness. Questionnaires assessing these factors were administered to 2,884 male and female adolescents. In this paper we discuss the parental factors and describe the methodology. We hypothesize that parental factors, family connectedness, and the association between these factors and adolescents' mental health differ across cultures. In the papers that follow, we present the results and discuss their implications.

El propósito del estudio fue analizar la influencia del conflicto interparental en la aparición de problemas de conducta en
adolescentes de familias intactas y monoparentales. Se utilizó un diseño explicativo que consideró prueba de medias y análisis multivariado de varianza. La muestra estuvo compuesta de 466 adolescentes de 12 a 16 años. Para la medición de las variables se utilizaron las escalas Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict (cpic) y Youth Self Report (ysr).
Los resultados confirman la asociación entre conflicto interparental y problemas de conducta en los hijos, y muestran que, cuando hay conflicto en las familias intactas, se produce una mayor frecuencia de conductas  externalizantes que en familias monoparentales.
