Los resultados revelan que las mujeres experimentan una mayor intensidad emocional que los hombres cuando piensan sobre la infidelidad de su pareja, ya sea emocional o sexual. No hay diferencias importantes entre hombres y mujeres en cuanto al tipo de infidelidad que más les molesta: la infidelidad emocional. Además se ha analizado la influencia del tipo de relación de pareja que mantienen los participantes en la experiencia emocional provocada por la infidelidad. This present study explores the differences between women's and men's responses to (hypothetical) infidelity, and how these responses are influenced by the characteristics of the couple's relationship. 372 subjects completed questionnaires (a) itemising their jealous reaction to a partner´s hypothetical infidelity (emotional or sexual); and (b) the state of their relationship. A survey of 250 women and 122 men revealed that the women reported higher intensity of emotional distress than the men. in regard to both emotional and sexual infidelity. There were no significant differences between men and women in their reports of which infidelity troubled them more: both genders are troubled more by emotional infidelity. We also report the influence that the type of relationship has on the emotions provoked by the infidelity.

Unfortunately , because much of psychology's knowledge about how adults cope with loss or trauma has come from individuals who sought treatment or exhibited great distress , loss and trauma theorists have often viewed this type of resilience as either rare or pathological. The author challenges these assumptions by reviewing evidence that resilience represents a distinct trajectory from the process of recovery, that resilience in the face of loss or potential trauma is more common than is often believed, and that there are multiple and sometimes unexpected pathways to resilience.

Existen diferentes modelos que pretende conceptualizar la manera en la cual desde la infancia las personas desarrollan un sentido personal de sí mismo, empero, existen algunas dificultades en torno a la conceptuación de este término y en gran medida dichas aproximaciones sólo enfatizan un aspecto particular del desarrollo de la identidad de género dejando de lado su complejidad y multifactorialidad. En el presente trabajo tengo como propósito proporcionar un encuadre general de la conceptuación teórica de la identidad de género desde la psicología, así como ofrecer un panorama general sobre los elementos que configuran su desarrollo tanto en lo individual como en lo social haciendo uso de hallazgos relevantes en el contexto de la cultura mexicana. Abstract Building gender role identity (i.e. such identity that picks the musts of being a man or a woman), is a complex process involving biological, social, cultural and psychosocial factors. There are different theoretical models that try to conceptualize ways people develop a personal sense of themselves since childhood, but there have been difficulties in this conceptualization and in a great way such approaches only emphasize a particular dimension in gender role identity leaving outside its complexity and multifactorial nature. In this work my purpose is to deliver a general grid of this gender role identity theoretical conception from the psychological perspective, as well as offering a general landscape about the configuring elements of its individual development and its social development using relevant empirical research in the Mexican cultural context.
