“…Lo antes señalado, es evidenciado en la investigación de Esparza-Reig et al ( 2021), en donde se señala que las mujeres poseen mayores grados de conducta prosocial en comparación con los hombres. En el mismo sentido, los hallazgos de esta investigación son similares en relación a lo expuesto por Atkinson et al (2021), Muñoz-Silva et al (2020 y Van Lange et al ( 2018), de las cuales emergen nuevas consideraciones que pueden enriquecer este trabajo, producto del reconocimiento de las interacciones entre factores socio-genéticos y las conductas prosociales.…”

“…Bajo esta perspectiva, los profesores universitarios se encuentran llamados a trascender su clásica definición como transmisores del conocimiento hacia una redefinición de sus alcances: el gobierno de instituciones altamente complejas, la gestión de situaciones multicausales y el liderazgo de la formación integral de sus estudiantes, podrían instalar valores como la empatía y solidaridad configurando un comportamiento ético y socialmente responsable en los actuales estudiantes y futuros profesionales (Severino-González et al, 2021b); esto no podría ser posible sin la concepción de una docencia para el bien común, la transparencia y el altruismo, logrando impactar virtuosamente en la formación, gestión, extensión, investigación y participación ciudadana tanto de educandos y docentes (Muñoz-Silva et al, 2020). Desde la visión de la neurociencia informacional, tal relación solo puede sostenerse desde un paradigma neguentrópico en donde las habilidades socialmente responsables alcancen los tres componentes de la conciencia, los subsistemas: afectivo, cognitivo y conativo.…”

The purpose of this research study is to describe the attitudes that constitute prosocial skills from the perspective of social responsibility in university students by assessing their sociodemographic characteristics. An instrument is applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 382 participants and an exploratory factorial analysis is conducted. An instrument for Chilean students is proposed and statistically significant differences are examined according to their sociodemographic characteristics. The results show that students have high development of attitudes linked to prosocial skills. In addition, the only differences found are in relation to gender and years of study in higher education. Future research should assess cultural background while examining the implications of the research subject's characteristics. In conclusion, universities must apply educational policies to enhance a transformative teaching that implements empathic, supportive, altruistic, and socially responsible initiatives.

“…A T -test revealed that boys had significantly higher hyperactivity/inattention scores compared to girls, t (50) = 3.01, p = 0.005. Other studies also found gender differences in children’s prosocial behavior and behavioral problems assessed using the SDQ ( Muñoz-Silva et al, 2020 ). Child gender was also significantly correlated with one dimension of the moderator variable ( r = −0.28, p = 0.04).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the quality of the sibling relationship moderates the association between parental psychological distress and child maladjustment (i.e., internalizing and externalizing problems). We extended previous literature by studying mothers and fathers separately and by including an observational measure of the quality of the sibling relationship. Participants were 52 two-parent families from a community sample who had at least two children living at home. Only one child (aged 6–10 years) was targeted for the study and studied in relation to his/her siblings. Mothers and fathers completed a self-reported questionnaire on their psychological distress and individually assessed their child’s social-emotional maladjustment. The targeted child’s interactions with his/her siblings were observed by independent judges during a home-visit. Results indicate that both maternal and paternal psychological distress are significant predictors of child social-emotional maladjustment. Moderation analyses reveal that children of distressed fathers are at lower risk of social-emotional maladjustment when they engage in highly positive interactions with their siblings. Post hoc analyses suggest that only sibling empathy (not teaching nor companionship) is a significant moderator of the association between paternal psychological distress and child maladjustment. The results of this study provide further evidence of the influence that fathers have in their child’s development and highlight the importance of using a systemic family approach to promote children’s social-emotional adaptation in the context of parental distress.

“…Although gender differences in oppositional behavior is not certain, conduct problems such as aggression can be more common among boys ( 43 , 44 ). Furthermore, gender difference in psychosocial adjustment was found particularly in terms of prosocial behavior in girls and behavioral problems in boys ( 45 ). Some studies have reported that female gender can correlate with anxiety and depression ( 46 , 47 ), while others don't find any gender differences ( 48 , 49 ).…”

BackgroundThe lockdown in May 2021 was the first and only lockdown implemented in Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic. The epidemic in Taiwan has been maintained under relatively better control and this study aimed to examine the impact of the lockdown on sleep and emotional and behavior disturbances in children and adolescents in Taiwan.Material and methodsParticipants over 6 years old were recruited retrospectively from a cohort study, and their parents completed questionnaires including the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham-IV Teacher and Parent Rating Scale (SNAP-IV), and the function assessment. A total of 217 children and adolescents whose parents completed questionnaires during both the lockdown period and the pre-lockdown period were included. We used paired t-test and independent t test; to analyze the differences between the lockdown and pre-lockdown periods and between different subgroups.ResultsThe mean age of all participants was 11.87 ± 3.97 years, with 69.6% male. The results of CSHQ indicated that our participants had significantly increased total sleep time (p = 0.000), more sleep onset delay (p = 0.011), fewer sleep duration problems (p = 0.029), less parasomnia (p = 0.018), fewer sleep breathing problems (p = 0.028), and less daytime sleepiness (p = 0.000) during the lockdown, especially males and children. We observed trends but no significant changes of all participants in CBCL and SNAP during the lockdown. The change of the inattention index reached a significant level between children and adolescents (p2 = 0.017). The results of the functional assessment showed more interferences in home living (p = 0.021) of all participants, especially males (p1 = 0.002).ConclusionsThe lockdown significantly impacted children and adolescents' sleep and functioning. We also observed trends of increased emotion, behavior and inattention problems, and significantly increased interference in home living. Male gender and younger age may be associated factors for sleep and functional disturbances of the lockdown.
