“…In consequence, promoting that students get emotionally involved appears to facilitate that they elaborate on statements that are key to comprehend and learn from the material. This finding converges with recent studies, which suggest that establishing a high number of discourse connections [ 67 , 70 , 81 , 96 ], getting emotionally involved with the material [ 72 , 80 ], and performing elaborative question answering tasks facilitate discourse comprehension [ 85 , 97 ]. It also expands these studies, given that it focuses on the interplay between these variables, and on the comprehension of written and spoken spontaneous discourse on the prevention of GBV.…”

“…, [83]). These questions are expected to promote the integration of the comprehender's prior knowledge with the new information provided by the text or discourse [84][85][86][87][88]. Considering the importance of these factors for discourse comprehension [15,70,83,[89][90][91][92], current work in our lab is examining their role in the facilitation of the comprehension of GBV psychoeducation materials.…”

Gender-based violence in Latin America (Ecuador and Argentina): current state and challenges in the development of psychoeducational materials

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a complex social and public health problem, which represents a human rights violation. Globally, GBV tends to occur in intimate partner relationships. Latin American countries report high rates of this violence. Despite their social and historical differences, Ecuador and Argentina are among Latin countries that aim to dismantle patriarchy. Developing psychoeducation materials is one way in which communities can recognize and prevent GBV. Psycholinguistics can provide useful tools to facilitate learning about this social issue: prior studies suggest that promoting the establishment of discourse connections, the generation of emotion inferences and the emotional involvement of the comprehender facilitate written and spoken discourse comprehension. The aim of this commentary article is to present an overview of the current incidence of GBV in Ecuador and Argentina, and to highlight the contributions that preliminary research on discourse comprehension can make to facilitate learning about GBV prevention strategies. Finally, we will discuss possible research guidelines and future directions. We expect that this manuscript will contribute to highlighting the importance of promoting social awareness of GBV and, therefore, the crucial role of the design and implementation of scientifically based interventions.

Purpose The importance and priority of information literacy skills and their mutual effects have been neglected in the development and design of information literacy curricula. The present study aimed to prioritize and examine the direction of effect and impressionability of information literacy skills components for Iranian university students to improve their skills and promote skills instruction within academia. Methodology This was applied quantitative research using multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDMs) and DEMATEL pairwise comparisons. The statistical population comprised 16 information literacy scholars as DEMATEL experts who were purposively selected after variance estimation. The data were collected via a questionnaire (DEMATEL matrix), and the results were analyzed in MATLAB using the fishbone model. The effects and impressionability of information literacy skills components were analyzed and weighted using the DEMATEL matrix. Results To enhance students' information literacy skills, the components were prioritized as follows: information access, information combination, understanding and identifying informational needs, information evaluation, information use, and information dissemination skills. The prioritized components of the model had larger relative weights and were thus more significant in terms of the need for instruction and enhancement. Conclusion Considering the mutual effects of components, their significance, and priority, they greatly contribute to decision-making and the adoption of appropriate measures to develop information literacy skills curricula and guide information literacy policy-makers, professors, and researchers. The use of MCDM and pairwise comparison techniques as innovative approaches in information literacy research is also fruitful and practical for developing information literacy skills curricula in universities and other contexts.
