    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2006) Moretti, F.; Galeazzi, A.; Tobal, J. J. Miguel; Vindel, A. Cano; Escola de Psicologia e Ciências da Vida
    In this paper are exposed the results obtained by the administration of the ISRAJ for adolescent Inventory to a Spanish sample of adolescents. The ISRA-J is a multidimensional instrument rating anxiety and has been woked out by the Department of General Psychology in collaboration with the University Complutense of Madrid (A. Cano Vindel and J.J. Miguel Tobal, 1985). As the adults version of ISRA (Inventario de Situaciones y de Respuestas de Ansiedad), so the ISRA-J for adolescents presents various potentially anxious situations and the answers can be cognitive, physiological or motor. The study of the psychometric properties of the ISRA-J is the main purpose of this work and a sample of 178 Spanish normal adolescents of both genders, between 12 and 18 years, proceeding from various high schools of the Community of Madrid, has been surveyed. The outcomes will be presented and discussed, with particular regard to the validity properties (factor analysis and concurrent validity with the STAI of Spielberger) and gender and age differences resulting by the Anova analysis.

    Intervención psicológica en mujeres menopáusicas : implantación de un programa para la reducción de la ansiedad y depresión
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2006) Camuñas, N.; Ojeda, J.; Prieto, L.; Vindel, A. Cano; Iruarrizaga, I.; Tobal, J. J. Miguel; Escola de Psicologia e Ciências da Vida
    Anxiety and sadness are emotional responses which commonly ocurred in all human beings; however, high levels of such responses can lead to allow the onset of emotional disorders, often involved in women during the menopausal period (Hunter, 1990; Sánchez-Cánovas, 1996). In this paper, a cognitive-behavorial programme is presented for reducing anxiety and depression levels in group of women (n=9) with ages ranging between 50 and 61 years. This programme was carried out in the C.I.S. of Arganzuela (Madrid City Hall). The programme included 15 sessions structured in three phases: pre-treatment assessment, treatment, and post-treatment assessment. During pre and post- treatment phases the following assessment instruments were administared: The Inventory of Situations and Responses of Anxiety - ISRA- (Miguel-Tobal & Cano Vindel, 1986, 1988, 1994), the beck Depression Inventory -BDI- (Beck, ward, Mendelson, Mock & Erbaugh, 1961; Beck, Rush, Shaw y Emery, 1979), and the Inventory of Solving and Coping with Problems (Miguel Tobal & Casado, 1992). Treatment phase focused on the application of several cognitive-behavioral techniques for controlling the above mentioned variables. Results showed signifcante decreases in both anxiety and depression levels and an increase in psychological well-being.

    Locus de control y ira
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2006) Pérez Nieto, M.; Cano Vindel, A.; Tobal, J. J. Miguel; Camuñas, N.; Iruarrizaga, I.; Escola de Psicologia e Ciências da Vida
    Anger has been related with external attributions in different theoretical models. However, from the theory of “locus of control” stand points (Rotter, 1966) anger as an emotional response has not received as sufficient attention as would be desirable, instead of aggression. The present paper explores relationship between external locus of control and anger as emotion as well as anger expression and anger control. For this purpose, different assessment instruments were administered to a sample of 177 undergraduate students (27 males and 150 females), these are as follows: Rotter Scale (Rotter, 1966), Spanish version by Pérez García (1984); the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (S.T.A.X.I.) by Spielberger (1988, 1991), Spanish version by Spielberger, Miguel-Tobal, Cano-Vindel, and Casado (1992); and Questionnaire of Control, Defense and Expression of Emotions (C.D.E.) by Cano-Vindel and Miguel-Tobal (1996). A correlational study between different scales of the instruments and a mean differences analysis between extreme groups (highs and lows) on locus of control were carried out. These group were balance in gender variable. Results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between external locus of control and anger. Especially, external locul of control subjets trend to manifest more anger-out and lower anger-control. This results deals with a better knowledge of the attributional processes associated with coping with anger as emotional response. In this sense, this better knowledge allow us to design better effective prevention programmes on anger in a future time.
