Item type:Publication, Factores psicológicos asociados al juego problemático en estudiantes universitarios de Lima(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-12-15)The aim of the study was to analyze the psychological variables that predict problem gambling in 173 engineering students, men and women, from the first years of study at a private university in Lima, Perú. The age range was 16 to 23 years (M = 17.9, SD = 1.2).The measures were the Personality Inventory NEO FFI (NEO Five-Factor Inventory, Costa & McCrae, 1992), the Academic Stress Inventory (SISCO, Barraza, 2007a), the Time Management Behavior Questionnaire (TMBQ, Macan, 1994) version translated into Spanish by García-Ros and Pérez-González (2012), and the South Oaks Gambling Screen, Revised for Adolescents (SOGS-RA, Becoña, 1997). The results indicated that the management of free time is a moderate predictor of problem gambling (standardized coefficient = -.33), followed by the agreeableness personality´s factor (standardized coefficient = -.29), while academic stress showed lower predictive capacity (standardized coefficient = .10). The results are discussed in relation to possible ways to prevent problem gambling. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Relationship between Transformational Leadership Style and Voice Behaviour(Inderscience Publishers, 2020-01-01)The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of the transformational leadership (TL) style on voice behaviour (VB) under circumstances that do not promote proactive behaviour on the society. In addition, this research explored the moderator effect of the follower gender and type of company on the TL-VB relationship. This was a quantitative, correlational and cross-sectional study. Data were analysed using structural equations modelling. The results showed that TL has a direct, positive and significant effect on VB, but the follower's gender and type of company have no significant effect on the TL-VB relationship. Future research should consider a broad type of organisation, and include moderating variables related to the follower's personality and the corporate ethical environment. Also, future's studies should investigate the influence of TL on VB at territories with different levels of DP and UA, and to compare the effects due the mentioned context differences. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Values and personality as predictors of the appreciation for sustainable practices in social and commercial entrepreneurs of Lima-Peru(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2021-05-01)This study sought to analyze the predictive capacity of values (Schwartz, 1992) and personality (Goldberg, 1990) regarding the appreciation of sustainable practices (APS). The APS is a dimension that indicates a person's attitude toward sustainability, measured with a scale developed specifically for this study and applied in the context of entrepreneurial activity. Likewise, the classification capacity of the APS regarding the identification of entrepreneur profiles by type of entrepreneurship (social versus commercial) was analyzed and then compared with the classification capacity of values and personality. To this end, an intentional non-probability sample of entrepreneurs in Metropolitan Lima, previously classified as social (n = 135) or commercial (n = 198), was used. A multiple linear regression shows that the APS is predicted by self-transcendence values and the personality traits of agreeableness and intellectual openness. A binary logistic regression analysis shows that the classificatory capacity of the APS reaches 68.8% in the correct identification of cases, according to the type of venture undertaken, versus 76% for values and personality as a whole. However, the classificatory capacity of the APS is superior to that of values and personality when the dimensions of these constructs are analyzed separately. The discussion covers the classificatory capacity of the APS for the detection of socially oriented entrepreneurs as a parsimonious criterion, alternative and complementary to values and personality profiles, along with the implications of this construct for the understanding of innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship models. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Psychometric properties of the positivity scale in a Latin American sample: positivity as a unidimensional personality variable(BioMed Central Ltd, 2026-12-01)Despite extensive research in European and North American contexts, studies on positivity in Latin America remain limited. The sociocultural dynamics of the region present unique challenges that may shape the expression and relevance of positivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Positivity Scale, a self-report measure that assesses the tendency to view and approach life and experiences from a positive perspective, in Latin American population. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional instrumental study. The research included 1,017 adults from Mexico, Colombia, and Peru who were recruited through online platforms. The participants completed a survey including a sociodemographic questionnaire, the P-Scale, and measures of self-esteem (RSES), satisfaction with life (SWLS), optimism (LOT-R), depressive symptoms (PHQ-2), and negative affect (PANAS). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the scale's unidimensional structure. Measurement invariance across countries and sex was assessed. Convergent and divergent validity was evaluated through correlation analyses. Reliability was examined via Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega. RESULTS: Confirmatory factor analysis of the P-scale revealed that the removal of item 6, which had a low factor loading, and the inclusion of a covariance between items 1 and 4 significantly improved the model fit. The final model demonstrated acceptable fit indices, with standardized factor loadings ranging from .45 to .85. Invariance testing by country and sex remained within acceptable thresholds, supporting the scale´s configural, metric and scalar invariance. Reliability analyses demonstrated strong internal consistency (α = .86, ω = .86). Correlation analyses revealed significant positive relationships of positivity with self-esteem, life satisfaction and negative correlations with depressive symptomatology and negative affect. CONCLUSIONS: The findings support the generality of the positivity construct while also highlighting the importance of cultural adaptations to ensure measurement precision. By having a validated P-Scale, researchers and practitioners can better understand and promote well-being in populations facing unique sociocultural challenges.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
