- ItemOpen AccessPhonological verbal fluency norms for Spanish-speaking middle-aged and older adults: Letters F, A, and S(Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2026) López-Higes, Ramón; Montenegro-Peña, Mercedes; Delgado-Losada, Maria Luisa; Rubio-Valdehita, Susana; Sin departamento asociadoBackground: Verbal fluency tests are easy and regularly used in neuropsychological assessment. This paper offers normative data of pho-nological verbal fluency tests (FAS) for Spanish middle- and older-aged adults, considering sociodemographic factors, and different measures such as the total number of words, errors, and words evoked in each 15 sec-segment. Method: A total of 920 cognitively unimpaired participants, aged between 50 and 89 years old, participated in t he study. The statistical procedure includes the conversion of percentile ranges into scalar scores to obtain a normal distribution. The effects of age, education, and sex were verified by determination coefficients. Correc-tions were only applied for those sociodemographic variables that ex-plained more than 5%. Linear regressions are used to calculate the scalar-adjusted scores. Results: Scalar scores and percentiles for all tests across dif-ferent measures are shown. Supplementary tables are provided for neces-sary adjustments considering educational level, since the results showed no differences related to age and sex across analyses. Conclusions: This study provides updated and clinically useful normative data for European Span-ish-speaking natives, aged from 50 to 89 years, for FAS tests, considering errors and word production over 15-second segments. The influence of education on tasks aligns with findings from previous studies.
- ItemOpen AccessValidation of Driving Cognitions Questionnaire (DCQ) for general Spanish population(Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2026) Wallace-Ruiz, Agustín; Jiménez, Óliver; Valero-Aguayo, Luis; Ruiz-García, Antonio; Sin departamento asociadoThe Driving Cognitions Questionnaire (DCQ; Ehlers et al., 2007) as-sesses social concerns, accidents, and panic attacks in driving phobia cases. This phobia has a prevalence for 2%- 6%, and impairs the ability to drive, often causing severe anxiety. We present a study on the psychometric properties of the DCQ adapted for the Spanish population. A total of 716 people participated (55.6% women) took part, with a mean age of 37.7 years (range from 18 to 80 years); of these, 41.8% reported some negative driving experiences. The DCQ demonstrated high internal consistency re-liability (between α = .92 and .97) and test-retest reliability (r = .73 to .87). It also showed strong convergent validity with the ISAT-3 questionnaire (r = .72 to .80). Exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors, whereas confirmatory factor analysis supported both two and three-factor models. A cut-off score of 52 indicates potential intervention needs as a criterion for considering the needs. We conclude that the DCQ is useful for as-sessing driving phobia and anxiety.
- ItemOpen AccessPsychopathic Profiles in the General Population: Construction and validation of the ERPO Scale(Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2026) González-Nuevo, Covadonga; Postigo, Álvaro; Menéndez-Aller, Álvaro; García-Cueto, Eduardo; Cuesta, Marcelino; García-Fernández, Jaime; Sin departamento asociadoSubclinical psychopathy is an issue of interest for various psy-chological fields (human resources, forensic context, clinical psychology, etc.). The aim of this study was to construct a scale for the assessment of subclinical psychopathy and to use it to obtain psychopathic profiles in the general adult Spanish population. To achieve this, a set of items evaluating three dimensions (Manipulation, Insensitivity, Reckless Impulsivity) was generated and reviewed by a panel of experts in psychometrics and psy-chological assessment. The pilot study was completed by 436 subjects, and the main study by 536. The internal structure of the scale was explored us-ing various Exploratory Factor Analyses and a final Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Cluster analysis resulted in five subject groupings (Psychopathic, Non-Psychopathic, Manipulative, Callous, and Reckless), which showed differential relationships with Psychopathy, Dark Triad, Agreeableness, Honesty-Humility, and Self-Interest. The developed scale provides valid and reliable scores for assessing subclinical psychopathy in the general adult Spanish population, as well as the possibility of establishing five psy-chopathic profiles in this population.
- ItemOpen AccessExamining the Contributions of School Contexts to Teacher Self-regulation among Turkish Teachers: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach(Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2026) Alpaslan, Muhammet Mustafa; Ulubey, Ozgur; Sin departamento asociadoSelf-regulation holds significant importance in the fields of edu-cation, business, and psychology because it enables individuals to monitor and regulate their knowledge and practice, ultimately fostering self-development and work engagement. Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory, the purpose of this study was to examine the interplay between social con-textual variables and teacher self-regulation in Turkey. Data were collected from 314 middle school teachers across forty-five schools in Turkey using the Teacher Self-Regulation Scale (TSRS-TR) and the School Contextual Scale. A structural equation modeling approach was employed to address the research questions. The analysis showed that social contextual variables accounted for 41.4% of the variance in teacher self-regulation. Relations with colleagues strongly predicted belonging and value consonance, the lat-ter being the strongest predictor of teacher self-regulation. Moreover, the analyses revealed that relations with colleagues and supervisory support had a statistically significant indirect effect on teacher self-regulation through value consonance. The findings of this study suggest that when teachers’ beliefs, norms, and values are aligned with those of their schools, they are more willing to monitor, control, and regulate their teaching practice.
- ItemOpen AccessPsychometric Properties of the Brief Resilience Scale in Honduran University Students(Servicio de Publicaciones. Universidad de Murcia, 2026) Martínez-Álvarez, Isabel; Llamas-Salguero, Fátima; Pineda-Zelaya, Iris Suyapa; Hidalgo-Fuentes, Sergio; Sin departamento asociadoUniversity students face various challenges that can generate high levels of stress, which may have negative consequences for their health as well as their academic performance. Resilience plays a key role in students' ability to cope with and overcome the difficulties of this educa-tional stage. One of the most common means of assessing resilience is the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). This study examined the psychometric prop-erties of the BRS among a sample of Honduran university students. The sample comprised 791 students (Mage = 26.29 years, SD = 8.02). The relia-bility, construct validity, and concurrent and divergent validity of the BRS were evaluated. Moreover, measurement invariance by sex, floor effects, and ceiling effects were analyzed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the two-factor structure of the BRS, and the results ex-hibited acceptable reliability indices. Measurement invariance was observed between men and women. This study provides preliminary evidence of the Spanish version of the BRS being a reliable and valid instrument with which to assess resilience among university students in Honduras.
