          Abstract

          En la actualidad, los investigadores así como los políticos están interesados en analizar las diferentes dimensiones que componen el bienestar subjetivo de los niños y los adolescentes, grupos a los cuales se les ha prestado escasa atención si se lo compara con la literatura sobre la población adulta. En esta investigación, se analiza la comparabilidad intercultural de tres escalas de bienestar subjetivo, en estudiantes del primer curso de enseñanza secundaria en Brasil, Chile, España y Rumania. Las escalas multi-ítem muestran buen ajuste con los datos de las muestras agregadas, así como con los respectivos modelos multigrupo con cargas restringidas, avalando la comparabilidad de las correlaciones y regresiones entre las poblaciones. No obstante, los modelos no ajustan con cargas y constantes restringidas, sugiriendo que las medias no son comparables entre países. Así también los resultados muestran puntuaciones en el bienestar subjetivo más altas que las esperadas en poblaciones adultas occidentales. Los resultados del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que incluye todas las escalas sugieren que las dos escalas por ámbitos participan de un mismo supraconstructo.

          Translated abstract

          Currently both, researchers and politicians, are interested in analyzing the many dimensions that are the components of subjective well-being of children and adolescents, since little attention has been paid by the literature to these groups, when compared with adults. In this research we analyze the cross-cultural comparability of three measures of subjective well-being of members of the Freshman Class of High Schools in Brazil, Chile, Spain and Romania. The multi-item scales reveal a good fit with the aggregated samples, as well as with the respective multi-group models with bounded loads, supporting the comparability across correlations and regressions performed on the populations. However, the models do not fit when both loads and constants are bounded, suggesting that the means are not comparable between countries. Also, results reveal that the scores of subjective well-being are higher than those expected from western adult populations.

          Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS : Basic Concepts, Applications, and Programming

          <p>This bestselling text provides a practical guide to the basic concepts of structural equation modeling (SEM) and the AMOS program (Versions 17 & 18). The author reviews SEM applications based on actual data taken from her research. Noted for its non-mathematical language, this book is written for the novice SEM user. With each chapter, the author "walks" the reader through all steps involved in testing the SEM model including: </p><ul><p><li>an explanation of the issues addressed </li><p></p><p><li>an illustration of the hypothesized and posthoc models tested </li><p></p><p><li>AMOS input and output with accompanying interpretation and explanation</li><p></p><p><li>The function of the AMOS toolbar icons and their related pull-down menus</li><p></p><p><li>The data and published reference upon which the model was based.</li><p></p></ul><p></p><p>With over 50% new material, highlights of the new edition include:</p><ul><p><li>All new screen shots featuring Version 17 of the AMOS program </li><p></p><p><li>All data files now available at www.psypress.com/sem-with-amos </li><p></p><p><li>Application of a multitrait-mulitimethod model, latent growth curve model, and second-order model based on categorical data</li><p></p><p><li>All applications based on the most commonly used graphical interface</li><p></p><p><li>The automated multi-group approach to testing for equivalence</li><p></p></ul><p></p><p>The book opens with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of SEM and the basics of the AMOS program. The next 3 sections present applications that focus on single-group, multiple-group, and multitrait-mutimethod and latent growth curve models. The book concludes with a discussion about non-normal and missing (incomplete) data and two applications capable of addressing these issues. </p><p></p><p>Intended for researchers, practitioners, and students who use SEM and AMOS in their work, this book is an ideal resource for graduate level courses on SEM taught in departments of psychology, education, business, and other social and health sciences and/or as a supplement in courses on applied statistics, multivariate statistics, statistics II, intermediate or advanced statistics, and/or research design. Appropriate for those with limited or no previous exposure to SEM, a prerequisite of basic statistics through regression analysis is recommended. </p>

            Core affect and the psychological construction of emotion.

            At the heart of emotion, mood, and any other emotionally charged event are states experienced as simply feeling good or bad, energized or enervated. These states--called core affect--influence reflexes, perception, cognition, and behavior and are influenced by many causes internal and external, but people have no direct access to these causal connections. Core affect can therefore be experienced as free-floating (mood) or can be attributed to some cause (and thereby begin an emotional episode). These basic processes spawn a broad framework that includes perception of the core-affect-altering properties of stimuli, motives, empathy, emotional meta-experience, and affect versus emotion regulation; it accounts for prototypical emotional episodes, such as fear and anger, as core affect attributed to something plus various nonemotional processes.
