“…Gender differences are also evident in cognitive processes related to drinking. Compared to men, women have higher levels of selfefficacy regarding their alcohol use in social situations [91][92][93][94]. Specifically, women appear to be more confident in their ability to refrain from drinking alcohol when with friends.…”

“…Regarding social cognitions, expectancies of social facilitation or pleasure [66,[83][84][85][86][87] and social assertiveness [88][89][90] are consistently related to increase social drinking in college students. In addition, college students with low drink refusal self-efficacy also exhibit higher levels of alcohol use [91][92][93][94]. Therefore, it is likely that social drinking by students is both modeled and socially reinforced by valued peers, making it difficult for students to refuse offers of alcohol.…”

Peer relationships are consistently linked to alcohol use in college students. However, this disparate literature often reveals contradictory findings regarding the precise mechanisms of peer influence. In this review, we use an organisational framework based on social learning theory (SLT) to demonstrate how the quality of peer relationships may influence personal alcohol use. We propose that the quality of peer relationships enhance the influence of social reinforcement, modelling and cognitive processes on personal alcohol use. Research indicates that the quality of peer relationships influences drinking via three pathways: the lack or breakdown of quality peer relationships, alcohol use being an integral part of peer interactions, and if peers disapprove of alcohol use or do not drink. This conceptualisation of peer influence informs the consistent finding of gender differences in college student drinking. Limitations of the reviewed research include reliance on cross-sectional surveys, self-report and homogeneous populations. Future directions for research on quality peer relationships involve detailed longitudinal assessment and the application of advanced statistical methods.

“…In contrast, with respect to PA, PA selfefficacy [ie, a person's confidence in his or her ability to be physically active on a regular basis (20)] has emerged as the most consistent psychosocial correlate of engaging in PA (21). Previous studies have linked elevated levels of depressive symptoms to lower PA self-efficacy (22)(23)(24), which is concordant with the general negative cognitive style inherent in a depressive mood. PA self-efficacy was also shown to predict better success in weight control (25).…”

Background: There is increasing evidence that depressive symptoms and obesity are positively related, but the mechanisms that explain the association between them are unclear. Objective: We examined direct and indirect associations between depressive symptoms, emotional eating, physical activity (PA) selfefficacy (ie, an individual's confidence in his or her ability to overcome barriers to maintain PA behaviors), and adiposity indicators. Design: Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized mediation model in Finnish men (n = 2312) and women (n = 2674) aged 25-74 y from the National Cardiovascular Risk Factor Survey conducted in 2007. The Center for Epidemiologic StudiesDepression Scale, the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18, and a PA barriers self-efficacy scale were used. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and percentage body fat of participants were measured in a health examination. Results: Depressive symptoms and emotional eating had positive correlations and PA self-efficacy had negative correlations with BMI, WC, and percentage body fat. Elevated depressive symptoms were related to higher emotional eating (b = 0.38 for men and 0.31 for women) and lower PA self-efficacy (b = 20.41 for men and 20.31 for women), whereas emotional eating and PA self-efficacy were inversely correlated (r = 20.12 and 20.18, respectively). The positive bivariate associations between depressive symptoms and adiposity indicators became nonsignificant in models that included emotional eating and PA self-efficacy, and both of these factors significantly mediated the effects of depressive symptoms on adiposity indicators. Conclusions: Psychological factors related to both eating and PA may be relevant in explaining the positive relation between depressive symptoms and adiposity. Interventions that target obesity should take into account the effects of these factors on weight regulation.Am J Clin Nutr 2010;92:1031-9.

RESUMENNuviala-Nuviala, A., Ruiz-Juan, F. y Nuviala-Nuviala, R. (2010). Actividad física y autopercepción de la salud en adolescentes. PENSAR EN MOVIMIENTO: Revista de Ciencias del Ejercicio y la Salud, 8 (1), 34-41. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la influencia de la práctica de actividades físico-deportivas de tiempo libre en la autopercepción de la salud de adolescentes rurales. Este estudio examinó a 1109 escolares españoles de 10 a 16 años de entornos rurales. Se utilizó el cuestionario Self-Administered Physical Activity Checklist. El análisis estadístico fue desarrollado mediante el análisis descriptivo e inferencial y la prueba de contraste χ 2 . Los resultados demuestran diferencias en la percepción de la salud en función del sexo, edad y cantidad de actividad física diaria realizada en el tiempo libre. Los niños tienen mejor percepción de la salud que las niñas. Los estudiantes de primaria expresan tener mejor salud que los estudiantes de secundaria. Son los niños de primaria y estudiantes de sexo masculino quienes hacen más actividad física. Además, se observó que la actividad física organizada esta relacionada con la percepción de la salud, así como con el número y la duración de las sesiones semanales.

Physical activity and self-perceived health in adolescents. PENSAR EN MOVIMIENTO: Revista de Ciencias del Ejercicio y la Salud, 8 (1), 34-41. The aim of this study was to find out what are the effects of leisure physical-sport activity on the perception of their own health by rural adolescents. The study examined 1109, 10 to 16 years-old rural Spanish students, using the Self-Administered Physical Activity Checklist questionnaire. Statistical analysis was developed through descriptive and inferential analysis and to the χ2 test. The results demonstrated differences in the self-rated health based on sex, age and amount of daily leisure physical activity. Boys have better health perception than girls. Elementary school students expressed being healthier than
