    Contribution of temperament and family functioning on psychological well-being in Spanish emergent adults: A person-centered approach
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2024-12-06) Ato Lozano, Ester; Galián Conesa, María Dolores; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación
    There is a gap in the literature on relationships between temperament, family functioning, and psychological well-being from a eudamonic perspective in emerging adulthood. To shed light on this issue, the aim of our study was to analyze the effect of temperament and family functioning profiles on psychological well-being in a sample of Spanish university students (N=332). Results showed a positive association between the resilient temperament profile and psychological well-being, while the inverse relationship was observed for the non-desirable temperament profile. The reserved profile was not significantly associated with psychological well-being. On the other hand, the healthy family functioning profile (with moderate and high scores in cohesion and moderate scores in flexibility) was linked to higher levels of well-being, unlike the unhealthy functioning profile (with low scores in cohesion and extreme scores in flexibility). Finally, the joint effect of temperament and family functioning points to a buffering or protective effect of family functioning profiles in relation to potentially “dangerous” or “beneficial” temperamental profiles in university students. Practical and clinical implications are discussed.

    Temperament and psychological well-being in emerging adulthood: the mediating role of perceived social support
    (Institute of Experimental Psychology, Center of Social and Psychological Sciences, Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2026-06-24) Ato Lozano, Ester; Galián Conesa, María Dolores; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    The university period is a stage of life often associated with lower levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction, highlighting the need to investigate factors contributing to this decline. This study aimed to examine the relationship between temperament and psychological well-being, and the potential mediating role of perceived social support, in a sample of Spanish university students (N = 332; M = 19.28). Participants completed a set of self-report instruments, including the Adult Temperament Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Scales of Psychological Well-Being. Results showed that high levels of negative emotionality, and low levels of effortful control and surgency, significantly predicted poorer outcomes across multiple psychological well-being dimensions. Perceived social support, particularly from family and friends, also contributed significantly to higher well-being, more so than support from other significant individuals. Furthermore, complementary and indirect-only mediation effects of perceived social support were identified between temperament constructs and well-being dimensions. Overall, these findings enhance our understanding of the interplay between temperament, social support, and psychological well-being during emerging adulthood, within the Spanish cultural context.

    La Virgen de la Leche. Arquetipo de mujer y madre en la pintura del Renacimiento español
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Castiñeyra Fernández, Patricia
    Durante el Renacimiento en España, al igual que en el resto de Europa, se crea todo un imaginario en torno a la figura femenina; un modelo ideal que establece la imagen, el comportamiento, las funciones, la gestualidad, etc., que debían tener las mujeres. El propósito de este trabajo es analizar cómo María, a través de su representación como Virgen de la Leche, se convierte durante el Renacimiento, no sólo en una extendida imagen devocional, sino también en un instrumento para la educación de las mujeres, siendo utilizada para extender el nuevo modelo ideal de mujer creado en esta época. Así, veremos cómo el imaginario femenino es plasmado por los artistas en las pinturas de la Virgen de la Leche realizadas en España durante el Renacimiento.
