Family variables related to behavioral problems in childhood.

The aim of this study is to ascertain whether there are any differences in the parenting practices received by two groups of children who obtain low-risk and high-risk scores, respectively, in relation to conduct problems and determine which parenting variables are linked with the presence or absence of this kind of problematic behavior. We selected a sample of 30 children between 6 and 14 years old with risk scores in behavioral problems according to the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC), and another similar group with low scores in this variable. After applying the Parent-Child Relationship Inventory (PCRI) to both parents, we carried out a binomial logistic regression analysis which resulted in a prediction model for the 80% of the sample, composed of the Parenting variables: communication and role orientation from the mothers, and parental support, autonomy and limit setting (the most significant factor) from the fathers. Finally, the utility of results to raise intervention strategies within the family is discussed.

Relación entre el síndrome de burnout y el patrón de conducta tipo A en profesores / Relationship between the Burnout syndrome and Type A Behavior Pattern in teachers

En el presente estudio tratamos de determinar la relación existente entre los diversos factores que componen el Patrón de Conducta Tipo A (PCTA) y los que forman parte del síndrome de burnout en una muestra de 417 profesores de educación infantil, primaria y secuendaria (175 hombres y 242 mujeres). Para medir el PCTA y el burnout se utilizaron el Inventario de Actividad de Jenkins, forma H (JASE-H) y el Inventario de Burnout de Maslach, forma ED (MBI-Ed), respectivamente. El análisis de datos se desarrolló mediante pruebas de correlación bivariada, contraste de medias y análisis de regresión logística binomial. Los resultados muestran que el PCTA es un excelente predictor de las fases que componen el síndrome de burnout (AU)

The presence study tries to determine the relationship between Type A Behaviour Pattern (TABP) and burnout syndrome in a simple of 417 nursery, elementary and middle school teachers (175 males and 242 females). The Jenkins Activity Survey, Form H (JASE-H) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Form Ed (MBI-Ed), were administered to asses TABP and burnout, respectively. After conducting bivariate correlation, T-test and binomial logistic regression analyses results showed that TABP is an excellent predictor of the burnout syndrome phases (AU)
