Generalmente afecta a mujeres mayores de 40 años y se asocia con diabetes, cirugías e inactividad física. El tratamiento incluye terapia física, antiinflamatorios y artroscopía para romper adherencias, requiriendo rehabilitación prolongada.
Flow experiences at work: for high need achievers alone?Solercanto
Two studies examined how the relationship between employees' perceived skills and challenges at work interacted with their need for achievement to influence positive mood, intrinsic task interest, and performance. The studies found that among highly achievement-oriented employees, experiencing high skills and challenges at work was associated with greater positive mood, task interest, and performance than other skill-challenge combinations. Positive mood also mediated the interactive relationship between skill-challenge levels and achievement needs on performance. The findings suggest that matching skills and challenges optimally may benefit employees and organizations by enhancing motivation and outcomes, particularly for those with high achievement needs.

Este documento presenta una encuesta de 17 preguntas sobre los sentimientos de las personas en el trabajo. La encuesta mide tres dimensiones principales del bienestar laboral: la vigor, la dedicación y la absorción. Los participantes deben indicar con qué frecuencia han experimentado cada sentimiento usando una escala de 0 a 6.
The document provides a scale for respondents to rate their level of agreement with 5 statements about satisfaction with their life and conditions of their life. Respondents are asked to rate their agreement with each statement using a 7 point scale, from strongly agree to strongly disagree. They are then asked to add up their total scores to determine their overall life satisfaction, which is categorized into levels from extremely satisfied to extremely dissatisfied.
The document describes the Perception of Success Questionnaire (PSQ), which contains questions to assess an individual's perceptions of success in sports. It includes two versions - one for children and one for adults. Both versions contain 12 statements about feelings of success in sports and ask participants to indicate their level of agreement on a scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The statements focus on themes like competitiveness, improvement, goal achievement, and demonstrating superior ability.
1) The study tested a model from self-determination theory in which employees' intrinsic need satisfaction mediated the relationship between perceptions of manager autonomy support and individual autonomy orientation on job performance and well-being.
2) The model posits that satisfying the innate psychological needs for competence, autonomy and relatedness leads to better performance and adjustment, while need thwarting undermines motivation.
3) Autonomy supportive management that acknowledges employees' perspectives and provides choice is expected to enhance intrinsic need satisfaction and thus positively impact outcomes.
The researchers developed a new scale called the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) to measure psychological well-being and happiness. The OHQ is a more compact version of the original Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI) with single statement items rated on a 6-point scale, rather than multiple choice. Tests of the OHQ showed high reliability, strong correlation with the OHI, and associations with other validated well-being measures. Factor analysis identified a single dimension of well-being measured by the OHQ, suggesting it effectively captures an individual's overall level of happiness in a brief format. The researchers conclude the OHQ is a valid alternative to the OHI for measuring subjective psychological well-being.

The document describes efforts to develop and validate a brief 155-item form of the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). The MPQ comprehensively assesses personality at the trait and structural levels and maps onto constructs of emotion and temperament with psychobiological underpinnings. The brief form was developed to enhance the MPQ's utility in research by making it less time-consuming. Validation studies found high correlations between brief- and full-form trait scales and consistency in the higher order factor structures, supporting the brief form as a valid tool for investigating personality's biological, psychological, and genetic bases.
1. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was developed in the 1930s-1940s by researchers Hathaway and McKinley to assess personality traits.
2. They used the method of contrasted groups, comparing responses of clinical groups (e.g. neurotics) to normal controls, to identify items that best distinguished the groups.
3. The original MMPI consisted of 550 true/false questions assessing various clinical scales. It became widely popular and established the foundation for modern personality assessment.
Tushar is an entrepreneur who tries to implement time management techniques by creating a to-do list, but he is unable to stick to his plan due to unforeseen events and distractions that cause him to miss important meetings and delay other tasks, demonstrating the challenges of effective time management in real-world situations with competing priorities and demands on one's attention. By the end of the day, Tushar is unable to complete most of the items on his original to-do list.
This article introduces the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) as a tool for assessing psychosocial job characteristics. Part I describes the development and theoretical basis of the JCQ scales, which measure job demands, decision latitude, social support, physical demands, and job insecurity. These scales assess the job strain model and its predictions about stress risk and behavioral responses under conditions of high psychological demands and low decision control. Part II reports on the cross-national validity of the JCQ scales based on studies of over 10,000 men and 6,000 women across multiple countries. Part III reviews comparisons of intercountry and interoccupation differences in JCQ scale scores.
This document is the introduction and instructions for the Imaginal Processes Inventory, a questionnaire about inner experiences like images, dreams, and daydreams. It was created by Jerome L. Singer and John S. Antrobus of the Center for Research in Cognition and Affect. The inventory consists of two parts, with Part I containing 24 questions about daydreaming and dream habits, and Part II containing 320 additional questions to indicate how well statements apply to the respondent. Respondents are assured their anonymity will be protected in using and analyzing the results of the inventory.

Se entrevistó individualmente a los nadadores para evaluar su motivación, orientación a la meta y habilidad percibida. Después de pedirles que narraran sus mejores y peores experiencias de rendimiento, se evaluaron los estados de "flow", ansiedad y emocional correspondientes. Los resultados mostraron que durante las mejores experiencias de rendimiento hubo mayores niveles de
The document describes the development of a Spanish language version of the Worn Out scale of the General Well-Being Questionnaire (GWBQ). Researchers developed a 12-item Spanish version of the Worn Out scale based on prior research showing its sensitivity to aspects of work design and management. The Spanish version was administered to 229 Spanish workers along with other measures. Confirmatory factor analysis showed the Spanish version had adequate factorial validity, reliability, and concurrent validity. Scores on the Spanish version also correlated significantly with safety behaviors and accident reporting, demonstrating its sensitivity and usefulness for occupational health research in Spanish.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
La escala general de satisfacción laboral mide la satisfacción general, intrínseca y extrínseca de los trabajadores en 3 subescalas de 15 ítems. Los trabajadores indican su grado de satisfacción en cada ítem en una escala de 7 puntos. Las puntuaciones permiten evaluar la satisfacción general de los trabajadores y detectar posibles problemas en áreas específicas. Estudios muestran que niveles más altos de satisfacción se asocian con mejores condiciones psicosociales en el trabajo.
This study examines the mediating role of perceived personal competence in the development of burnout syndrome and stress symptoms among university professors facing potentially stressful work conditions. The study validated a structural model showing that perceived personal competence has a mediating effect on depersonalization and personal fulfillment dimensions of burnout, as well as stress symptoms. Emotional exhaustion was not found to be mediated by perceived competence. Emotional exhaustion also acted as a mediating variable, facilitating the negative impact of stressors on burnout dimensions and stress symptoms.

1. The document discusses improving engagement in leisure activities for better work-life balance. It argues that leisure activities provide mental and physical benefits but are often crowded out by work demands.
2. The document outlines different personality types and their relationship to engaging in leisure - those prone to "flow" are fully immersed while Type A or distressed personalities struggle more.
3. Steps are proposed for developing a more engaged leisure personality like setting goals, focusing fully on activities, and living in the present moment during leisure time. Improving leisure engagement could benefit both individuals and patients.

La Escala BIEPS-A consta de 13 ítems agrupados en 4 dimensiones (aceptación/control, autonomía, vínculos y proyectos) que miden constructos como el control de situaciones, aceptación de sí mismo, vínculos psicosociales y autonomía. La Escala BIEPS-J contiene 13 ítems agrupados en 3 dimensiones (control, vínculos y proyectos) para evaluar constructos como el control de uno
chaos in human behaviour, the case of work motivationSolercanto
This document summarizes a study that analyzed work motivation over time in 48 employees. The employees completed a work motivation diary several times per day over 4 weeks. The time series data were analyzed using techniques from chaos theory, including recurrence plots, Lyapunov exponents, correlation dimension, and surrogate data. The results showed chaotic dynamics in the work motivation of 75% of participants. This confirms that human behavior can exhibit chaotic properties and challenges some assumptions of traditional work motivation theories. It also suggests that chaos theory may provide useful insights into managing work motivation in organizations.
This study followed 78 adult workers for one week using an experience sampling method to randomly sample their self-reports throughout the day. The main questions were whether the quality of experience was more influenced by whether a person was at work or leisure, or more influenced by whether a person was experiencing "flow" (high challenges and skills). Results showed that variables measuring quality of experience (except relaxation and motivation) were more affected by flow than by whether the person was working or in leisure. Most flow experiences were reported during work, not leisure. People were more motivated during leisure, but those more motivated during flow reported more positive work experiences. The findings suggest ways to improve everyday life quality.
