Item Estudio Psicométrico del Índice de Carga Mental NASA-TLX con una Muestra de Trabajadores Españoles(Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, 2010) Díaz Ramiro, Eva María; Luceño Moreno, María Lourdes; Martín García, Jesús; Rubio Valdehita, SusanaEl objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento de evaluación de la carga mental de trabajo NASA-TLX en distintos grupos profesionales españoles. La muestra estuvo formada por 398 trabajadores que pertenecían a siete sectores profesionales diferentes. Todos los trabajadores evaluaron la carga mental percibida en sus puestos de trabajo, debida a cada una de las seis dimensiones de carga que distingue el NASA-TLX: esfuerzo, demanda mental, demanda física, demanda temporal, rendimiento y frustración. Los resultados mostraron una consistencia interna aceptable y una estructura factorial constituida por dos factores. Uno de los factores estaba formado únicamente por la dimensión “frustración”, mientras que el otro factor englobaba a las cinco dimensiones restantes. Por último, se encontraron diferencias importantes en los perfiles de carga mental entre los grupos profesionales considerados, en todas las dimensiones de carga, excepto en rendimiento.Item Spanish Consortium for Ageing Normative Data (SCAND): semantic verbal fluency tests(Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 2022) López Sánchez, Ramón; Rubio Valdehita, Susana; Fernández Blázquez, Miguel Ángel; Lojo-Seoane, Cristina; Ávila Villanueva, Marina; Montenegro Peña, María Mercedes; Mallo, Sabela C.; Delgado Losada, María LuisaObjective: Semantic verbal fluency constitutes a good candidate for identifying cognitive impairment. This paper offers normative data of different semantic verbal fluency tests for middle-aged and older adults natives from Spain considering sociodemographic factors, and different measures for each specific category (number of words produced, errors, and words evoked every 15 s). Method: Two thousand and eighty-eight cognitively unimpaired subjects aged between 50 and 89 years old, community dwelling, participated in the study. The statistical procedure includes the conversion of percentile ranges into scalar scores. Secondly, the effects of age, education and gender were verified. Linear regressions are used to calculate the scalar adjusted scores. Results: Scalar scores and percentiles corresponding to all semantic verbal fluency tests across different measures are shown. Additional tables, which show the points that must be added or subtracted from direct scores, are provided for Education regarding the total number of “animals” and “clothes” evoked by participants, as well as for Age and Education in case of the total number of “clothes”. Gender affects the number of “clothes” produced by participants in the first two 15-second segments. Conclusions: The current norms should provide clinically useful data for evaluating Spanish-speaking natives from Spain aged from 50 to 89 years.Item Evaluación de la comprensión gramatical en el envejecimiento normal y patológico: un resumen de los resultados obtenidos con las baterías ECCO y ECCO_Senior(International Journal of Psychological Research, 2012) López Sánchez, Ramón; Rubio Valdehita, Susana; Martín Aragoneses, M. Teresa; Del Río Grande, David Pedro; Mejuto, GemaThe ECCO Test (Cognitive Assessment of Sentence Comprehension in english) has shown its usefulness as an assessment tool of grammatical comprehension in older people along several studies published from its creation. The ECCO_Senior, a shorter and updated version derived from the original one and adapted to the elderly population, has good psychometric properties, and offers some promising results in the study of the language profiles of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) when consider variables such as working memory capacity and educational level. The paper summarizes the results obtained with both tests, and also we present some future directions related to this line of researchItem Estudio de generalizabilidad de dos instrumentos de evaluación subjetiva de la carga mental(2010) Rubio Valdehita, Susana; Martín García, Jesús; López Sánchez, Ramón; Díaz Ramiro, Eva María; Luceño Moreno, María Lourdes; Jaén Díaz, María AntoniaItem Funcionamiento psicológico positivo en España: ¿existen diferencias en función del nivel educativo?(Revista de Estudios e Investigación en Psicología y Educación, 2017) Merino Rivera, M. Dolores; Privado Zamorano, Jesús; Díaz Ramiro, Eva María; Rubio Valdehita, Susana; López Núñez, María InmaculadaEn esta investigación nos preguntamos si existen diferencias en bienestar y en recursos psicológicos en función del nivel educativo. Empleamos una muestra formada por 2902 individuos y comparamos cinco niveles educativos en las variables indicadas. El análisis se hizo mediante ANOVA y mostró diferencias en todas las variables. Los resultados mostraron que tanto los recursos como el bienestar van en aumento a medida que se incrementa el nivel educativo, pero, que este incremento declina en los sujetos que realizaron estudios universitarios, pero, solo, de grado medio. Futuras investigaciones deberán aclarar esta cuestión.Item EntreComp Questionnaire: A Self-Assessment Tool for Entrepreneurship Competencies(Sustainability, 2022) Armuña, Cristina; López Núñez, María Inmaculada; Rubio Valdehita, Susana; Pérez-Urría Carril, ElenaThe European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework (EntreComp) offers a comprehensive description of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that people need to develop for an entrepreneurial mindset. The use of the framework as a self-assessment tool has garnered attention, but there is scarce presence of instruments that address the whole set of competencies proposed by Entrecomp. In view of the lack of specific tools, the objective of this research was to assess the evidence of validity and reliability of a new questionnaire. The sample was composed of 742 college students from several Spanish universities between 17- and 64-years-old, with 34.6% being men and 65.4% being women. To evaluate the validity based on relationships with other measures, the Entrepreneurial Intention and Entrepreneurial Self-Capital scales were also administered. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an internal structure made up of four dimensions: Ideas and Opportunities, Personal Resources, Specific Knowledge, and Into Action. The results showed satisfactory evidence of validity based on relationships with Entrepreneurial Intention and Entrepreneurial Self-Capital and good reliability. The questionnaire has good psychometric properties and can be an easy and useful tool for the self-assessment of entrepreneurial competencies within the EntreComp framework.Item Are entrepreneurs born or made? The influence of personality(Personality and Individual Differences, 2020) López Núñez, María Inmaculada; Rubio Valdehita, Susana; Aparicio García, Marta Evelia; Díaz Ramiro, Eva MaríaCurrently, entrepreneurship is of great importance to economic growth and reduced unemployment. Since entrepreneurial behaviour is multidimensional, interest in understanding the roles of individual variables has increased significantly. The present study uses the theoretical and empirical framework of entrepreneurship research to explain the existence of the psychological profile of an entrepreneur, the impact of the psychological variables of personality on behaviour and entrepreneurial intention, and the relationship between personality traits and other specific traits frequently related to entrepreneurship. A sample of 337 participants composed of real entrepreneurs (n = 83) and university students (n = 254) with high scores in entrepreneurial intention were evaluated in personality (Big Five) and other specific traits: ambiguity tolerance, emotional intelligence and coping and problem solving. The results showed that both groups share the same profile in these variables once adjustments were made for the effects of sex and age. A target profile and a preliminary evaluation of its best possible accuracy are provided.Item Influence of the CoViD-19 Pandemic on Mental Workload and Burnout of Fashion Retailing Workers in Spain(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021) Rodríguez López, Ana María; Rubio Valdehita, Susana; Díaz Ramiro, Eva MaríaThis study analyzed the levels of mental workload and the presence of burnout on a sample of fashion retailing workers from Spain and its relationship with the current CoViD-19 (Coronavirus disease-19) pandemic. We established a cross-sectional design. Participants (n = 360) answered an online survey including questions about sociodemographic data, perception of CoViD-19, CarMen-Q questionnaire (workload), and MBI (burnout syndrome). The survey campaign took place in October and November 2020. The results showed that participants exhibited deep concern about the CoViD-19 pandemic and its influence in the workplace. Although the mental workload was near the middle point of the scale, participants showed moderate to high burnout levels, revealing that the sample was at risk of experiencing higher burnout levels over time as the pandemic and associated economic crisis continued. The multiple regression analysis results indicated that environmental changes, work overload, somatic symptoms, insomnia, negative job expectations, and uncertainty constituted significant mental workload predictors. Insomnia, somatic symptoms, and negative job expectations constituted significant predictors for burnout. Differences between job positions and genders in mental workload and burnout were found. In conclusion, the uncertainty at work derived from the CoViD-19 pandemic harms fashion retailing workers’ psychological well-being in Spain.Item Variabilidad en la comprensión gramatical de mayores sanos: diferencias en función de la reserva cognitiva(Revista de Logopedia, Foniatría y Audiología, 2014) López Sánchez, Ramón; Rubio Valdehita, SusanaEn el presente estudio se analizan las relaciones entre la variabilidad interindividual (diversidad) en vocabulario, comprensión de oraciones y denominación y la reserva cognitiva (RC) estimada en adultos mayores. Participaron 83 personas de edades comprendidas entre los 60 y los 75 años. Se empleó el Cuestionario de Reserva Cognitiva para estimar la RC. Para obtener las medidas de denominación y de comprensión léxica y gramatical se emplearon una versión reducida de 15 ítems del Boston Naming Test (BNT) y las pruebas de vocabulario y comprensión de oraciones de la batería ECCO Senior. Los resultados obtenidos indican: a) que a medida que aumenta la RC disminuye la diversidad en el BNT, en la comprensión de verbos y en la comprensión de oraciones de 2 proposiciones; b) la RC explica entre el 21 y el 18% de la diversidad en las oraciones con mayor densidad proposicional y en los verbos; c) en la comprensión de verbos y de oraciones de 2 proposiciones ajustadas al orden sintáctico canónico del español disminuye la diversidad de manera significativa al considerar valores de RC estimada mayores a 16 puntos; d) en las oraciones más difíciles y complejas disminuye moderadamente la diversidad a partir de una puntuación estimada de RC mayor a 10 puntos, y e) en la versión reducida del BNT, las diferencias significativas aparecen al comparar los grupos extremos en RC.Item Effects of task load and cognitive abilities on performance and subjective mental workload in a tracking task(Anales de Psicología, 2012) Rubio Valdehita, Susana; Díaz Ramiro, Eva María; López Sánchez, Ramón; Martín García, JesúsThe aim of this study was to determine the effects that the level of general intelligence and the aptitude profile of individuals have on performance and subjective assessments of the mental workload involved in carrying out a tracking task. Although all authors acknowledge that mental workload depends both on the characteristics of the task and the ability of individuals to perform it, little research into the real influence of these individual difference factors has been carried out. The subjects’ performance and mental workload when carrying out a tracking task with different levels of difficulty were measured. Both simple effects and those relating to the interaction of the two task complexity factors were shown to have significant effects on performance and subjective mental load. Spatial aptitude was shown to have the greatest mediating effect, particularly on mental workload. Surprisingly, the subjects with the greatest ability reported higher mental workload assessments than those less able, irrespective of the instrument used to measure the workload. Finally, the subjects with greater ability achieved higher levels of performance than those less able, particularly in the more difficult tracking task.
