This article analyses how physical activity reinforces each of the dimensions (mental, physical, social, etc.) of the health-related quality of life concept. To that end, we determined whether this relationship is moderated by educational level and area of residence. The empirical part was based on data obtained from a cross-sectional survey carried out in the Casablanca neighbourhood (Zaragoza, Spain). The sample comprised 1083 participants aged between 25 and 84 years residing in the three residential areas of this neighbourhood: Viñedo Viejo, Las Nieves and Fuentes Claras. These three areas exhibit significant socio-economic differences in their population. The self-reported questionnaire included the following key information for this study: socio-economic characteristics (sex, age, educational level and area of residence) and health-related quality of life (WHOQOL-Brief: mental health, physical health, social relations and environment). The main results obtained from the descriptive statistics and regression systems were added. Playing a sport or undertaking some physical activity brings many health benefits, both physical and mental. The educational level and area of residence affect this relationship, such that the effects of physical activity are greater for those residents of Casablanca who have a higher educational level and/or live in more favoured areas of this neighbourhood. The results have also been discussed by sex and age group. Investing in innovative programmes in educational institutions and communities to acquire healthy habits and behaviour patterns that take into account socioeconomic differences in the population would be an advisable public health strategy.

Adolescence is a stage of crisis in which the values and important people of childhood to leave one step to others to form the basis of adult setting up. Among the variables that will become protagonists of this transition, this study will translate into the important role of emotional dependence and its relationship with ambivalent sexism in the function of sex and age, as well as studying other psychosocial variables that are involved in adolescents' behavior. From a sample of 85 Secondary Education students, the data is analyzed using correlation tests, media comparison and variable control tests. The results show the differential evolution of dependence based on sex and age, the relationship with sexism, family and social isolation, guilt, self-esteem and submission.

Background: Leader–Member Exchange theory provides strategic information about how to improve the leader´s role and nurses’ satisfaction on healthcare organizations. Objectives: The main objective of this research was to study the quality of the supervisor–nurse relationship in relation to the nurses´ job satisfaction. This research also analyses how the relationship between Leader–Member exchanges and nurse job satisfaction could be moderated by other variables, such as nurse psychological empowerment, nurse-perceived organizational support and Leader–Leader Exchange. Methods: The sample comprises of 2541 registered nurses who work in public hospitals in the Autonomous Region of Aragon (Spain). Regression analyses were conducted. Results: The statistically significant results demonstrate the influence that the supervisor's leadership exerts on the job satisfaction of the nurse. Conclusions: The moderating variables (Empowerment, Perceived Organizational Support and Leader–Leader relationship) play an important role explaining the job satisfaction of the nurse. Deepening in these relationships could help us implement precise strategies to improve the nurse organizational commitment and the quality of health care performance.
