    Differences in Personality Styles based in data gathered administering MIPS (Millon Inventory of Personality Styles) are analyzed. The inventory was administered to two adults samples (Argentine, Spain). Based in Means and Standard Deviations scores for each of the 24 scales that integrate the technique Student´t scores were obtained. We found significative statistical differences in sixteen of those scales for the total samples analyzed. Furthermore, the paper analyzes differences according to sex between the two populations. A discriminant analysis is carried out to study which scales of the questionnaire allow us to discriminate better between subjects. The conclusions include some considerations about the transnational data comparisons and their clinical application.A partir de la administración del Inventario Millón de Estilos de Personalidad (MIPS) se han estudiado características de cada una de las 24 escalas que integran la prueba en sujetos españoles y argentinos para evaluar Metas Motivacionales, Estilos Cognitivos y Relaciones Interpersonales. Se calculó para cada una de las escalas la media aritmética y la desviación típica. Tomando como base estas medidas se analizan las diferencias entre medias calculando la prueba t de Student. Para el total de las muestras estudiadas se han encontrado diferencias estadísticamente significativas en dieciséis de esas escalas. Se analizan a su vez las diferencias según sexo en las dos poblaciones estudiadas. A partir de las escalas en las que se obtienen diferencias en cada una de las poblaciones se ha realizado un análisis discriminante para analizar las escalas del cuestionario que mejor permiten discriminar entre los sujetos. Se avanzan conclusiones relacionadas con la comparación transnacional de datos y su aplicación clínica

    La disciplina de visualización de información ha ganado la atención de muchos expertos e investigadores en los últimos años. Esta disciplina comprende la exploración de vastos y complejos espacios de información, por lo tanto, proveer de ayudas de orientación intuitivas y técnicas de navegación es esencial para permitir la exploración y el reconocimiento de tendencias y relaciones ocultas en los datos. En este trabajo presentamos un ambiente de visualización para noticias de los medios gráficos. El objetivo que perseguimos durante el desarrollo fue la creación de un ambiente amigable y potente. Amigable en el sentido cuya operación sea intuitiva y no demande al usuario más que un mínimo de aprendizaje. Potente en el sentido de ofrecerle al usuario la posibilidad de explorar las noticias por medio de distintas visualizaciones, sin que por ello se pierda la coherencia entre un salto de vista a otro. La herramienta permitirá explorar las noticias por fecha, sección y por temática, así como también brindar la posibilidad de interacción con el fin de lograr una mayor comprensión y capacidad de análisis del conjunto seleccionado de datos.Eje: Computación gráfica, Imágenes y Visualización (CGI)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

    Narcissism and the Strategic Pursuit of Short-Term Mating: Universal Links across 11 World Regions of the International Sexuality Description Project-2

    Previous studies have documented links between sub-clinical narcissism and the active pursuit of short-term mating strategies (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality, marital infidelity, mate poaching). Nearly all of these investigations have relied solely on samples from Western cultures. In the current study, responses from a cross-cultural survey of 30,470 people across 53 nations spanning 11 world regions (North America, Central/South America, Northern Europe, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and East Asia) were used to evaluate whether narcissism (as measured by the Narcissistic Personality Inventory; NPI) was universally associated with short-term mating. Results revealed narcissism scores (including two broad factors and seven traditional facets as measured by the NPI) were functionally equivalent across cultures, reliably associating with key sexual outcomes (e.g., more active pursuit of short-term mating, intimate partner violence, and sexual aggression) and sex-related personality traits (e.g., higher extraversion and openness to experience). Whereas some features of personality (e.g., subjective well-being) were universally associated with socially adaptive facets of Narcissism (e.g., self-sufficiency), most indicators of short-term mating (e.g., unrestricted sociosexuality and marital infidelity) were universally associated with the socially maladaptive facets of narcissism (e.g., exploitativeness). Discussion addresses limitations of these cross-culturally universal findings and presents suggestions for future research into revealing the precise psychological features of narcissism that facilitate the strategic pursuit of short-term mating

    Patterns and universals of mate poaching across 53 nations : the effects of sex, culture, and personality on romantically attracting another person’s partner

    As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, 16,954 participants from 53 nations were administered an anonymous survey about experiences with romantic attraction. Mate poaching--romantically attracting someone who is already in a relationship--was most common in Southern Europe, South America, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe and was relatively infrequent in Africa, South/Southeast Asia, and East Asia. Evolutionary and social-role hypotheses received empirical support. Men were more likely than women to report having made and succumbed to short-term poaching across all regions, but differences between men and women were often smaller in more gender-egalitarian regions. People who try to steal another's mate possess similar personality traits across all regions, as do those who frequently receive and succumb to the poaching attempts by others. The authors conclude that human mate-poaching experiences are universally linked to sex, culture, and the robust influence of personal dispositions.peer-reviewe

    Are men universally more dismissing than women? Gender differences in romantic attachment across 62 cultural regions

    The authors thank Susan Sprecher (USA), Del Paulhus (Canada), Glenn D. Wilson (England), Qazi Rahman (England), Alois Angleitner (Germany), Angelika Hofhansl (Austria), Tamio Imagawa (Japan), Minoru Wada (Japan), Junichi Taniguchi (Japan), and Yuji Kanemasa (Japan) for helping with data collection and contributing significantly to the samples used in this study.Gender differences in the dismissing form of adult romantic attachment were investigated as part of the International Sexuality Description Project—a survey study of 17,804 people from 62 cultural regions. Contrary to research findings previously reported in Western cultures, we found that men were not significantly more dismissing than women across all cultural regions. Gender differences in dismissing romantic attachment were evident in most cultures, but were typically only small to moderate in magnitude. Looking across cultures, the degree of gender differentiation in dismissing romantic attachment was predictably associated with sociocultural indicators. Generally, these associations supported evolutionary theories of romantic attachment, with smaller gender differences evident in cultures with high–stress and high–fertility reproductive environments. Social role theories of human sexuality received less support in that more progressive sex–role ideologies and national gender equity indexes were not cross–culturally linked as expected to smaller gender differences in dismissing romantic attachment.peer-reviewe
