“…Over 40% of unaffected respondents and those with T1D mentioned causal factors in their responses, while only 13% of respondents with T2D mentioned this dimension. Individuals with T2D may be psychologically motivated not to emphasize aspects of their diagnoses that imply fault and personal responsibility 34. Additionally, respondents with T1D and T2D both mentioned treatment elements, pathophysiology, and disease outcomes more often than unaffected individuals.…”

ObjectiveThe present study aims to describe and compare causal attributions for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) among affected and unaffected individuals and to investigate the relationships among attributions, attitudes, and beliefs.Research design and methodsAdults with no diabetes (N=458), T1D (N=192), or T2D (N=207) completed an online survey. Measures assessed diabetes conceptual knowledge, causal attributions for T1D and T2D, perceived control over diabetes onset, and favorability judgements of individuals affected by each type.ResultsResults indicate general agreement on causal attributions for T1D and T2D among all respondent groups, with some divergences by disease status. All respondents attributed both T1D and T2D to genetics, and genetic attributions were positively associated with favorability judgements of individuals with T2D, but not those with T1D.ConclusionsThis report sets the stage for investigations into how and why attributions for T1D and T2D differ and the implications of these differences including stigmatization of individuals with diabetes and diabetes-related self-concept. Additionally, this work can inform efforts towards clinical and public health education to prevent and optimize treatment of T1D and T2D.

“…Los datos indican que la escala muestra ajuste aceptable entre estudiantes de la ciudad de Asunción, por lo que se recomienda su uso en esta población con fines clínicos y de investigación. Como iniciativa hacia el auto-mejoramiento en distintas áreas (Robitschek, 1998), y predictor de locus de control (Keefer et al, 2018) la ICP puede medirse para determinar en qué medida un paciente puede beneficiarse de un proceso terapéutico (Borowa et al, 2018). Pacientes con bajos índices de ICP podrían entenderse como atravesando las etapas más primarias del cambio terapéutico (Prochaska & DiClemente, 2005), por lo que podrían beneficiarse de la técnica de entrevista motivacional (Rollnick et al, 2008).…”

“…Se ha descrito a las personas con altos índices de dicho constructo como más conscientes del cambio personal a lo largo del tiempo y más proactivas en el aprendizaje y la consecución de objetivos personales (Borowa et al, 2018). Estas personas, además, son más proclives a responsabilizarse por inconvenientes y defectos en lugar de atribuirlos a factores externos (Keefer et al, 2018).…”

La iniciativa de crecimiento personal es un constructo que se ha investigado en los últimos años y ha demostrado un carácter transcultural. En la actualidad, se vincula al mismo con otros conceptos relacionados a la psicología clínica y el counseling. Para poder realizar estudios en los contextos latinoamericanos, resulta imprescindible que se traduzca y adapte instrumentos que midan dicho constructo. En el presente trabajo se describe la traducción al español y validación factorial de la Escala de Iniciativa de Crecimiento Personal-II en una muestra de 219 universitarios de la ciudad de Asunción (Paraguay). Además, se presentan evidencias de validez basadas en relaciones con otras variables, como ser esperanza y satisfacción con la vida. Se realizaron análisis factoriales confirmatorios y un modelado exploratorio de ecuaciones estructurales que demostraron ajuste aceptable de un modelo de cuatro factores con modificaciones, tal como proponen otros antecedentes. Por otro lado, los coeficientes de correlación de este constructo con la esperanza y satisfacción con la vida otorgan buena evidencia de validez basada en relaciones con otras variables. Se comenta la utilidad de la escala para su uso en el ámbito clínico. En particular, se apuntala su utilidad como predictor de cambio en psicoterapia, ya que el concepto se relaciona íntimamente con factores motivacionales en el proceso terapéutico, y puede ser un predictor de recaídas a largo plazo.

“…6 Self-assessments can be biased because self-serving reasoning leads people to unintentionally ascribe successes and failures in a self-serving way. 4,7,8 For example, success results from internal factors (eg, inherent ability), whereas failure is secondary to external causes (eg, bad luck). 4,7,8 Heuristics allow people to simplify decision making when cognitive load prevents deeper processing, which is common when learning new information.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between physician assistant (PA) educators' perspectives on students' self-assessment (SA) accuracy and students' use of SA education practices and types of abilities assessed. Methods Using correlation analysis and a novel, online survey, PA educators were asked about their perceptions of students' SA accuracy in relation to SA educational activities and assessed abilities. Results A total of 308 educators responded. Most respondents used at least one type of SA activity, with feedback and practice being the most common types and comparative assessment, the least common type. Most respondents indicated that students self-assess noncognitive abilities more than cognitive abilities, with SA of communication skills occurring most. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis with a significant, small correlation noted between the frequency of activities and educators' overall perceptions of students' SA accuracy (r = 0.15, P = .02) and SA accuracy of cognitive abilities (r = 0.17, P = .02). Educators' perceptions of students' SA accuracy were positively skewed, regardless of student training level (ie, didactic and clinical training phases). A mild predictive relationship exists between overall perception of students' SA accuracy and how frequently educators use SA activities (r = 0.29, P = .05). Conclusion Although respondents indicated they used practice and feedback activities, providing instruction on how to self-assess and using comparative evaluations to calibrate SAs will improve accuracy. Further research is needed to understand why educators perceive PA students' SA abilities as more accurate, regardless of training level.
