    Effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on personal well-being: A longitudinal study in Spanish population
    (2022) Fernández Abascal, Enrique G.; Martín Díaz, María Dolores
    The main objective of this longitudinal study, with two mea-surements, one before the lockdown (M1: March 2-8), and the other du-ring the lockdown (M2: April 20-26), using the same participants, is to de-termine the evolution of the hedonic and eudaimonic aspects of well-being and the effect of compulsory confinement due to the COVID-19 pande-mic in Spain. The study was conducted online, participants completed the domains of the PERMA-Profiler well-being measure at both measurement times (M1 and M2) and the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-sR) measure of dispositional optimism at the first measurement (M1). The re-sults show significant relationships between all the well-being domains and the Overall Well-being (PERMA) score, similar at both measurements (M1 and M2). The comparison of the well-being domains score between the two measurements shows significant differences in Positive Emotion, En-gagement, Meaning, and the Overall Well-being score; the score is higher at the first measurement (M1) than at the second measurement (M2). For the Negative Emotion domain, the score is higher during the lockdown (M2). Dispositional optimism has a moderation effect during the lockdown on the Accomplishment domain: the more optimistic the person is, the more their Accomplishment score increases. Gender also has a moderation effect during the lockdown on the Happiness domain: in men, the Happi-ness score increases during the lockdown and, in women, it decreases, when comparing both genders with their previous non-confinement levels.

    Inteligencia emocional percibida y optimismo disposicional en estudiantes universitarios
    (Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2006) Anadón Revuelta, Óscar
    En la presente investigación se analizan las relaciones entre inteligencia emocional percibida (IEP) y el optimismo disposicional, en una muestra de alumnos (N=102) de segundo curso de Magisterio (especialidades de Educación Primaria y de Lengua Extranjera: Inglés) de la Facultad de Educación de Zaragoza. Se utilizaron los siguientes instrumentos: la Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), para evaluar la IEP, y el Life Orientation Test (LOT-R), para medir el optimismo disposicional. Los resultados muestran una moderada intercorrelación entre el subfactor de reparación de la IE y el optimismo disposicional. Ello sugiere que las personas con mayor capacidad para reparar sus estados emocionales negativos poseen expectativas generalizadas más favorables acerca de las cosas que les suceden en la vida.
