Ciberbullying: acoso en la red análisis y propuesta de intervención

Màster Oficial en Psicopedagogia, Facultat de Pedagogia, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2015-2016, Tutora: Núria Rajadell Puiggrós[spa] Las tecnologías se encuentran en una constante evolución y expansión en diferentes sectores de la sociedad. Es por ello que las redes sociales se han convertido en parte fundamental de las vidas de los adolescentes. Los nuevos métodos de comunicación permiten estar siempre conectados con el entorno social, pudiendo compartir y mantener una constante información visual y auditiva con gran comodidad. Sin embargo, la facilidad de poder utilizar en cualquier lugar y momento estos recursos también facilita la posibilidad de un uso poco respetuoso e incluso delictivo. Entre estas utilizaciones perversas se encuentra la posibilidad de chantajear, atacar y acosar de forma consistente a terceras personas. A través de esta investigación se pretende mostrar el estado actual de la cuestión, así como proponer y diseñar una intervención de cara a prevenir y/o contribuir a solucionar casos de ciberacoso.[eng] Technologies are in constant evolution and expansion among different sectors of the society.

Among these perverse uses is the possibility of blackmail, attack and harass consistently third persons.

Body-related attentional bias among men with high and low muscularity dissatisfaction

Previous studies have found gender differences in body-related attentional bias (AB), with women showing AB towards weight-related body parts. However, few studies have assessed the relationship between body-related AB and muscularity dissatisfaction (MD) in men. This study aimed to assess the presence of muscle-related AB in men, using a combination of a virtual reality (VR) embodiment-based technique and eye-tracking (ET) technology. Twenty men with high MD and 20 with low MD, owned a virtual avatar that had the same silhouette and body mass index as the participant. To analyze the gaze data, muscle-related areas of interest (M-AOIs) and nonmuscle-related areas of interest (NM-AOIs) were defined. The complete fixation time and the number of fixations on each AOI were recorded. Mixed between (group)-within (AOI_condition) analyses of variance showed a statistically significant interaction between group and time (p < 0.05) in both AB measures. Follow-up analyses revealed an AB towards M-AOIs only in men with high MD. Overall, men with high MD spent more time looking and displayed a higher number of fixations on M-AOIs, specifically the chest and shoulders, compared to men with low MD. This study provides new information about the relationship between MD and body-related AB in men. Combining VR with ET technologies presents interesting opportunities in the study of body image in men
