Factores relacionados con la adicci贸n a los videojuegos: Un estudio emp铆rico sobre las variables psicol贸gicas y del juego.
El objetivo del estudio es analizar la relaci贸n de la tolerancia a la frustraci贸n con
la adicci贸n a los videojuegos. Asimismo, se pretende analizar una serie de variables
relacionadas con la conducta de juego y ciertas caracter铆sticas de los videojuegos que
puedan mediar en dicha adicci贸n. Para ello, se realiz贸 un estudio con una muestra de
203 personas, de las cuales 123 afirmaban ser jugadores habituales. Se aplicaron
diferentes pruebas: un test de tolerancia a la frustraci贸n a la muestra total, un test de
adicci贸n a videojuegos y una escala ad hoc sobre las caracter铆sticas de los videojuegos
y la conducta de juego a los usuarios habituales de videojuegos. Los resultados
obtenidos muestran que existen diferencias significativas en tolerancia a la frustraci贸n
entre los jugadores con puntuaciones extremas en adicci贸n a videojuegos. Asimismo,
existe relaci贸n entre la adicci贸n a los videojuegos y algunas variables sociodemogr谩ficas
como el sexo o la edad. Del mismo modo, las variables relacionadas con las
caracter铆sticas de los videojuegos y de la conducta de juego obtuvieron una relaci贸n
significativa con la adicci贸n a los videojuegos. A partir del estudio se concluye que la
tolerancia a la frustraci贸n es un elemento a considerar al abordar la adicci贸n a los
videojuegos, adem谩s de que se deben tener en cuenta las variables asociadas a los
juegos para entender la interacci贸n entre los videojuegos y la adicci贸n.The aim of this study is to analise the relation between frustration tolerance and
video game addiction. It is also intended to analyze a series of variables related to video
game behavior and certain characteristics of video games that may mediante in such
addiction. A sample of 203 people, of which 123 people claimed to be regular video game
players, was obtained for this study. Different tests were used: a test dedicated to
evaluate frustration tolerance was applied to the totality of the sample, while a test
dedicated to evaluate video game addiction and an ad hoc scale built to evaluate the
characteristics of both the video games played and the gaming behavior were applied
2
only to the group of regular video game players. The results obtained show that
frustration tolerance was signifficantly different between the video game players when
only extreme scores in video game addiction were considered. In the same way, all the
variables related to the characteristics of the videogames and video game behaviour
obtained signifficant relation with video game addiction. By the results of this study we
can conclude that frustration tolerance is a key element that needs to be considered
when video game addiction is being approached. Video game characteristics also need
to be considered in order to understand the relation between video games and addiction
Par谩lisis del plexo braquial por pseudoaneurisma de la arteria axilar tras luxaci贸n de hombro
Las lesiones del plexo braquial y de las arterias subclavia y axilar son complicaciones
poco frecuentes, pero importantes, de los traumatismos d茅 la cintura escapular.
Las lesiones neurovasculares son m谩s frecuentes en heridas penetrantes, pero son raras
en traumatismos cerrados. Cuando la sintomatolog铆a neurol贸gica se desarrolla insidiosamente,
d铆as o semanas despu茅s del traumatismo, hay que pensar en una lesi贸n vascular.
Presentamos un caso de par谩lisis del plexo braquial tard铆a, en un paciente var贸n
de 39 a帽os, que sufri贸 una luxaci贸n gleno-humeral anterior diez d铆as antes. La angiograf铆a
mostr贸 un pseudoaneurisma de la arteria axilar y el electromiograma confirm贸 la par谩lisis
del plexo braquial. El tratamiento consisti贸 en la reparaci贸n del defecto vascular.
Al a帽o de la intervenci贸n la evoluci贸n tanto cl铆nica, como electrofisiol贸gica fue satisfactoria,
aunque no completa.Injuries to the brachial plexus and subclavian and axillary arteries are uncommon and serious complications of shoulder girdle trauma, due to the close anatomical relationship between them. Neurovascular injuries are most frequent in penetrant lesions, but are are after a closed trauma. When neurological symptoms develop insidiously, some days to weeks after trauma, that should lead to the suspicion of a vascular injury. We report a delayed brachial plexus paralysis in a 39 years old male, who sustained an anterior dislocation of the shoulder ten days before. The DIVAS showed a pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery and the EMG confirmed the brachial plexus palsy. Treatment consisted in surgical release repair of the vascular defect. One year follow-up show good clinical result
A reattributional training program as a therapeutic strategy for fear of flying
In this study the results for the validation of a reattributional training program applied to the
fear of #ying are presented. The program is made up of 13 ($1) sessions and consists of three
phases: Information; reattributional training; and the elaboration and application of
the treatment designed by the patient with the help of the therapist. The program was applied
to 24 patients while 24 other patients made up the waiting control group. The therapeutic
success was evaluated by means of self-report scales, and by recording psychophysiological
variables in a situation in which subjects viewed a video tape of a #ight. Signi"cant di!erences
were obtained from the ANOVAs between experimental and control groups in all of the
self-reported variables (p(0.001) and in some of the psychophysiological variables (p(0.05).
The results support the e!ectiveness of the program. ( 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights

Resumen tomado de la publicaci贸nSe exponen tres acercamientos terap茅uticos: la Terapia de Aceptaci贸n y Compromiso, Mindfulness y el Modelo de Valencia de Hipnosis Despierta. Se expone el posible denominador com煤n de estos acercamientos, y si la fenomenolog铆a puede estar en la base de estos acercamientos; se tratan sus aspectos innovadores o novedosos; y se realiza una valoraci贸n de ellos.MadridES
Adaptive attunement of selective covert attention to evolutionary-relevant emotional visual scenes
We investigated selective attention to emotional scenes in peripheral vision, as a function of adaptive relevance of scene affective content for male and female observers. Pairs of emotional neutral images appeared peripherally with perceptual stimulus differences controlled while viewers were fixating on a different stimulus in central vision. Early selective orienting was assessed by the probability of directing the first fixation towards either scene, and the time until first fixation. Emotional scenes selectively captured covert attention even when they were task irrelevant, thus revealing involuntary, automatic processing. Sex of observers and specific emotional scene content (e.g., male-to-female-aggression, families and babies, etc.) interactively modulated covert attention, depending on adaptive priorities and goals for each sex, both for pleasant and unpleasant content. The attentional system exhibits domain-specific and sex-specific biases and attunements, probably rooted in evolutionary pressures to enhance reproductive and protective success. Emotional cues selectively capture covert attention based on their bio-social significance
