    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2021) Padrós-Blázquez, Ferran; Martínez-Medina, María P.; Guardia-Olmos, Joan; Graff-Guerrero, Ariel
    La disminución de la capacidad de disfrute puede considerarse un factor de riesgo de trastornos mentales. Por ello, es de utilidad disponer de instrumentos válidos para evaluar la gaudibilidad en niños y adolescentes. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue construir y analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Gaudibilidad para Niños y Adolescentes (EGNA). 1.264 estudiantes de primaria, secundaria y bachillerato respondieron a: EGNA, Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, Escalas Panas de afecto positivo y negativo para niños y adolescentes y la escala de Depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos. Mediante un análisis facto-rial confirmatorio utilizando Weighted Least Square con una reparametrización con un valor de δ = .05 y forzando una estructura entre factores no ortogonal con el modelo de 5 factores (Disfrute en compañía, Autoeficacia frente al aburrimiento, Sentido del humor, Imaginación e interés) relacionados, los resultados (χ2/df = 9.40; CFI = .931; TLI = .946) indican que los índices de modificación no presentaron valores relevantes, de forma que no sería pertinente proponer ningún otro modelo alternativo. Además, se observó una consistencia interna adecuada (Cronbach α = .794) en la es-cala total y en los 5 factores. Finalmente se observaron adecuadas evidencias validez. Se concluye que la EGNA es adecuada para cuantificar los ni-veles de gaudibilidad en niños y adolescentes.

    Psychometric properties of Gaudiebility Scale (Modulators of Enjoyment) for Children and Adolescents (GSCA)
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2021) Padrós-Blázquez, Ferran; Martinez-Medina, María P.; Guàrdia Olmos, Joan; Graff-Guerrero, Ariel
    The decrease in the ability to enjoy can be considered a risk factor or marker of mental disorders. Therefore, it can be useful to have a scale to quantify gaudiebility in children and adolescents. The objective of the present work was to build and analyze the psychometric properties of the Gaudiebility Scale for Children and Adolescents (GSCA). 1,264 primary, secondary and high school students responded to GSCA, Rosenberg’s selfesteem scale, Positive and Negative Affect schedule, Center of Epidemiological Studies of Depression scale. Through a confirmatory factor analysis using WLSMV (Weighted Least Square) estimation with a reparameterization with a value of δ = .05 and forcing a non-orthogonal factor structure was observed to 5 factors model (Enjoyment in Company, Self-efficacy versus boredom, Sense of humor, Imagination and Interest) related, results (χ2/df = 9.40; CFI = .931; TLI = .946) indicate that the modification indices did not present relevant values, so it would not be pertinent to propose any other alternative model. In addition, an appropriate internal reliability (Cronbach α = .794) was observed in the total scale and in the 5 subscales. Finally, an adequate evidence of validity was observed. It is concluded that GSCA seems appropriate to quantify gaudiebility levels in children and adolescents.

    The role of affect in pacing: an experimental study
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Serrano Ibáñez, Elena R.; Cóndor, María; Marcos, Estefanía; Ramírez Maestre, Carmen; López Martínez, Alicia E.; Esteve, Rosa
    People with chronic pain often change the way they carry out their daily activities according to different patterns, among which are pac-ing strategies. Cross-sectional studies on the association between pacing and affect show contradictory results. The study aim was to experimentally test whether the induction of positive affect vs negative affect would influ-ence the choice of the type of pacing (pacing to increase productivity or pacing to reduce pain) when the participants were exposed to pain, while controlling for the variables optimism and catastrophism. The study partic-ipants comprised a sample of 145 undergraduates. The results of multino-mial logistic regression showed that there was no association between the variables. Pacing is an intervention strategy in all chronic pain intervention models, and thus it is relevant to continue investigating the role of affect in relation to pacing.
