El estudio Factores de riesgo psicosociales que inciden en el proyecto de vida de estudiantes universitarios de modalidad a Distancia, se desarrolló bajo el enfoque mixto de investigación y diseño de tipo descriptivo. Se aplicó la escala (E-FRPED), factores de riesgo psicosociales, a las 8 zonas de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia con 2.363 respuestas, identificando las características principales de factores de riesgo, acorde con cada dimensión: psicológica (cognición, emocióny personalidad); socioambiental (estilo de vida, relaciones interpersonales, proyecto de vida y transformación personal) y pedagógica (modalidad a distancia, pedagogía y gestión del estudio independiente). Los resultados destacan la identificación de Factores Psicosociales Protectores donde los estudiantes reconocen fortalezas que ofrece la universidad en su formación profesional.
This book explores what we might teach if we take happiness seriously as an aim of education.
This authoritative volume reviews the breadth of current scientific knowledge on subjective well-being (SWB): its definition, causes and consequences, measurement, and practical applications that may help people become happier. Leading experts explore the connections between SWB and a range of intrapersonal and interpersonal phenomena, including personality, health, relationship satisfaction, wealth, cognitive processes, emotion regulation, religion, family life, school and work experiences, and culture. Interventions and practices that enhance SWB are examined, with attention to both their benefits and limitations. The concluding chapter from Ed Diener dispels common myths in the field and presents a thoughtful agenda for future research.
*Can theory-driven interventions using social cognition models change health behaviour? * How should theoretical models be adapted for intervention? * What are the implications for policy and practice? For many years, social cognition models have been at the forefront of research into predicting and explaining health behaviours. Until recently, there have been few attempts to go beyond prediction and understanding to intervention - but now the position has changed, and a number of excellent interventions have been set up. The purpose of this book is to bring them together in one volume. After an introductory chapter on the models and interventions to be included, there are nine chapters that...

Eye witness testimony, training, driving, and display design: these are just a few of the real-world domains in which depend on undivided attention. Emphasizing the link between theory and application, Applied Attention Theory provides a deep understanding of how theories of attention, developed from laboratory-based psychological research, can inform our understanding of everyday human performance in a wide number of applications and environments. The basic theories discussed concern divided, focused, and selective attention, and areas of application include mental workload measurement, multi-tasking, distracted driving, complex display design, education, and the training of attentional ski...
