Previous researches have attempted to adapt the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) to the group setting by identifying new IM categories able to detect meaningful interactions between group ...members. This study aims to develop a further adaptation of the IMCS by tracking the categories emerging from previous group coding schemes and analyzing if other types of IM categories emerged in the transcripts of three counseling groups addressed at underachieving university students. Results showed that seven IM categories (Self-directed, Other-directed, Explicit Mirroring, Prompting Change, Reinforcing Change, Collective, and Voice of Group) emerged in the current study, five of which resulting from the findings of previous researches and two obtained in this study through a data-driven method based on the coders' agreement. The previous and emerging IM categories were illustrated, and agreement and reliability of the IM categories were calculated. Overall, this study refined and integrated the previous group coding schemes and proposed the development of a new coding system, the Innovative Moments Coding System for Groups (IMCS-G), which showed to be a reliable method that allows the detection of markers of change within the group setting.

Este escrito es la respuesta a la Carta al Editor enviada por Mónica Reyes-Rojas, en la cual se plantea el debate con respecto al concepto de español colombiano y en la que se sugiere que para la ...adaptación cultural de instrumentos se debe contar con la participación de expertos con miembros representativos de diferentes partes del país.
This letter is the response to the Letter to the Editor sent by Mónica Reyes-Rojas, in which the debate regarding the concept of Colombian Spanish is raised and in which it is suggested that the cultural adaptation of instruments must involve the participation of experts with representative members from different parts of the country.
This paper focuses on the inflections of Latin feminine names in Old English. Whereas most Latin loanwords are perfectly integrated and behave like Old English words as far as their morphology is ...concerned, like scientific loans, names can take inflectional endings from both Latin and Old English. Ruiz Narbona (2023) has shown that, in the case of masculine names, the distribution of both types of inflections followed certain clear patterns. Following the model of that study, the analysis of the 125 tokens from the Old English Martyrology shows that certain rules can also be established in the case of feminine names. In general terms, the inflections of these names are modelled after Old English weak n-stems, although nominative inflections are invariably Latin. The case with the more widespread variation is the genitive, where both Old English and Latin inflections are consistently used. The latter, however, are heavily restricted to introductory sections and function solely as post-modifiers.
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo adaptar y aportar evidencias preliminares de validez de la Escala de teoría cultural de cosmovisiones ambientales en el contexto latinoamericano. Se analizaron ...evidencias de validez de contenido mediante el juicio de cuatro expertos, validez discriminante y convergente, estructura interna a través de análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, y consistencia interna a través del coeficiente Omega. Mediante un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, se seleccionaron 500 participantes en edad adulta que residían en la región del Ñuble, Chile. Se obtuvo una versión revisada y adecuada lingüísticamente del instrumento, que presentó coeficientes de concordancia de Kappa que fluctuaron entre considerable y casi perfecto en cuanto a su contenido. Los análisis estadísticos dan cuenta de la idoneidad del instrumento de 15 ítems y un análisis factorial confirmatorio que apoya la estructura interna de cuatro factores (individualismo, igualitarismo, jerarquismo y fatalismo); igual que la versión original. Los coeficientes de consistencia interna fueron aceptables para las cuatro subescalas. Respecto a la validez discriminante se obtuvieron medidas de varianza extraída adecuadas para igualitarismo, jerarquismo y fatalismo (sólo individualismo presentó valores levemente bajo lo esperado), y respecto a la validez convergente se obtuvieron valores adecuados en fiabilidad compuesta para los cuatro factores. Estos hallazgos avalan el uso de la versión en español de la Escala de teoría cultural de cosmovisiones ambientales en población de habla hispana, contribuyendo a la potencial ampliación de estudios socioculturales sobre el medioambiente en Latinoamérica.
This article discusses 3 ways in which adaptive developmental mechanisms may produce maladaptive outcomes. First, natural selection may favor risky strategies that enhance fitness on average but ...which have detrimental consequences for a subset of individuals. Second, mismatch may result when organisms experience environmental change during ontogeny, for instance, because they move from one environment to another. Third, organisms may learn about their environment in order to develop an appropriate phenotype; when cues indicate the environmental state probabilistically, as opposed to deterministically, sampling processes may produce mismatch. For each source of maladaptation, we present a selection of the relevant empirical research and illustrate how models from evolutionary biology can be used to make predictions about maladaptation. We also discuss what data can be collected to test these models in humans. Our goal is to show that evolutionary approaches not only yield insights into adaptive outcomes but can also illuminate the conditions leading to maladaptation. This perspective provides additional nuance to the dialectic between the developmental psychopathology model and evolutionary developmental psychology. (Contains 1 figure and 3 footnotes.)
