Item type:Publication, Harshness and unpredictability during childhood: an approach from life-history theory to understanding risk behaviors(Frontiers Media SA, 2025-10-16); ; ; Previous studies have investigated the relationship between childhood experiences of harshness and unpredictability and risky adult behaviors from a life-history theory perspective. However, findings have been inconsistent, suggesting that the relationship between early environments and current behavior is complex and may be influenced by moderating variables. This study examined whether childhood harshness (resource scarcity) and unpredictability (proximal environmental instability) were positively related to risk propensity, considering reproductive strategy-related trade-offs (i.e., the age of first sexual intercourse and the age of menarche) and current environmental factors (i.e., being in a committed relationship, perceived family support, and poverty rate of the participant's municipality) as potential moderators.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>We sampled 368 individuals in two settings: college classrooms and a controlled laboratory environment.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Overall, we did not find a clear relationship between perceived childhood environment and risk-taking.

Item type:Publication, Psicobiología de la sociosexualidad en hombres. Una aproximación desde la psicometría y la teoría de juegos<jats:p>El presente trabajo buscó comprender las estrategias reproductivas en los hombres, integrando aspectos biológicos, psicológicos y conductuales en un marco evolutivo. Se presentan dos manuscritos publicados: “The Male Warrior Hypothesis: Testosterone-related Cooperation and Aggression in the Context of Intergroup Conflict” y “Testing strategic pluralism: The roles of attractiveness and competitive abilities to understand conditionality in men's short-term reproductive strategies”. El primero busca comprender cómo algunos rasgos antropométricos dependientes de testosterona influyen en la cooperación y agresión en diferentes contextos de conflicto intra e intergrupal. La testosterona es una hormona social y se ha establecido su influencia en la competencia intrasexual y el éxito reproductivo en los hombres. El último estudia el papel de los rasgos de atractivo y las habilidades competitivas en las estrategias reproductivas a corto plazo. Con este trabajo estudiamos en una dimensión más específica aquellos aspectos que tienen incidencia tanto en términos intrasexuales como intersexuales, estableciendo que los rasgos de atractivo son más relevantes para el despliegue de estrategias reproductivas en el corto plazo</jats:p>3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The role of the behavioral immune system in the expression of short and long-term orientation in young Chilean men during the COVID-19 pandemic(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2025-02-07); ; ; The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed people's lives. It had consequences at the individual and social level. The behavioral immune system predicts that when faced with the risk of contagion from pathogens, people tend to reduce their sociality, especially sociosexuality. We examine this prediction by evaluating decreases in the pandemic of the different dimensions of sociosexuality of young men (i.e., short and long-term mating orientation, sexual desire, and sociosexual behavior) and considering their relationship status (single or paired). Methods and materials We compared data from two cross-sectional studies carried out in the laboratory with convenience sampling methods in the pre-pandemic period (in the years 2016 and 2018 with a sample size of N = 463) and pandemic (face-to-face panstudy N = 234,data online, N = 182), considering possible differences between samples of the same period. We reached an N = 879 young men who answered a sociodemographic questioarticipants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire that inclnnaire and the Multidimensional Sociosexual Orientation Inventory. To test our predictions, we fitted general linear models. Results point to a significant decrease in long-term mating orientation in paired and single men, but only when compared with the pandemic face-to-face study. In addition, no differences were found for short-term mating orientation. For sociosexual desire (i.e., sexual fantasies), we found a reduction in single pre-pandemic individuals to be compared with the sample of pandemic online study. Finally, we found a decrease in sociosexual behavior (i.e., number of partners in the last year) between pre-pandemic samples and the pandemic itself, regardless of their relationship status and samples inside of each period. In addition, we carry out analyses with a reduced sample to re-test our predictions based on the perception of contagion risk (measured by a survey from OMS). We find changes are maintained at the level of sociosexual desire and sexual behavior but mainly in those individuals with a greater perception of the risk of contagion. The hypotheses derived from the behavioral immune system regarding the decrease in sociosexuality in a context of risk of contagion by pathogens, as was the case in the initial period of COVID-19, are corroborated only in terms of desire and behavior, which suggests a certain stability in attitudes i.e., the menace of contagion modifies proximal aspects of sociosexuality, such as fantasies and behavior, but has no apparent effect on the calibration of the predisposition of individuals to varying levels of commitment in sexual relationships. These findings will allow us to understand better how the dimensions of sociosexuality (i.e., fantasies, attitudes and behavior) are affected when there are contexts of high risk of contagion, such as COVID-19. These findings will allow us to understand better how sociosexuality is affected when there are contexts of high risk of contagion, such as COVID-19.Scopus© Citations 1 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Translating the behaviour change technique taxonomy version 1 into Spanish: Methodology and validation(2024); ; Eduardo Leiva-Pinto<ns5:p>Background Precise and unequivocal specification of intervention content is key to facilitating the accumulation and implementation of knowledge. The Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy v1 (BCTTv1) is the most widely used classification of behaviour change techniques (BCTs), providing a shared, standardized vocabulary to identify the active ingredients of behavioural interventions. However, the BCTTv1 is only available in English and this hampers its broad use and adoption. The aim of the present article is to report the process of translation of the BCTTv1 into Spanish. Methods A bilingual team led the translation of the BCTTv1, involving seven iterative steps: (i) establish a Committee, (ii) forward translation from English to Spanish, (iii) back translation from Spanish to English, (iv) comparison of original BCTTv1 and back translation, (v) opportunistic comparison against an independent BCTTv1 translation, (vi) empirical testing, and (vii) final Committee review. Results Changes as a result of the translation process included relabelling BCTs, amending definitions, and fixing conceptual and grammatical inconsistencies, yielding the final version. Very satisfactory inter-coder reliability in BCT identification was observed as part of the empirical testing (i.e., prevalence and bias-adjusted kappa scores > 0.8). Conclusions This work provides the Spanish-speaking population with a rigorous and validated BCTTv1 translation which can be used in both research and practice to provide a greater level of intervention detail for evidence synthesis, comparison, and replication of behaviour change interventions. The translation process described here may prove helpful to guide future translation efforts in behavioural science and beyond.</ns5:p>Scopus© Citations 7 2
