    • Abstract: It's investigated Psychology students' beliefs with regard to "mature person". It's suppossed that these sociocultural beliefs determine the rol and response of the future proffesional.

(university students of 1º and 5º courses of Psychology) chose and evaluated adjetives, according to these were consistents with their own beliefs with regard to "mature person". The inicial taxonomy was selected from De Raad's adjetives (1992, p.24). Results indicated stability and consistence of all individuals' choices and evaluations: factors "Emotional Stability" and "Extra-ver-sion" were the more choosen and best evaluated.

  • 03: VILLAR POSADA, F.: DSE (Aging Semantic Differential) construction and assessment in different cohorts (vol. 13, nº 1, pp. 19-30)

    • Abstract: This paper is aimed at examining both the attitudes towards the aging process and the age-related differences in such attitudes. The data were collected using an 18 items scale -based on the semantic differential technique- developed from a pilot study with 82 subjects. Once the sample was piloted, 166 subjects belonging to six different cohorts aswered the items.. Our results seem to point out that our scale presented good psychometric properties. The mean score in the scale located attitude towards aging near the neutral point. With respect to the relationship between attitude and age, the older cohort held the most positive atttitude, whereas people between 40 and 59 years old held the most negative one. These findings are discussed and new research is proposed. 

    Key words: Semantic differential; attitude towards aging; percepcion of aging age differences.

  • 04: COY, E., and TORRENTE, G.: The intervention with juvenile offenders: its development in Spain. (vol. 13, nº 1, pp. 39-50) 

    • Abstract: This work aims at offering a general view of how the intervention with the juvenile offender has developed in Spain. Basic characteristics of the Tutelary Model are analized, being this model the starting point for the 1948 juvenile Courts Act. This Act, which is based on the Model  of Justice, has been in force in Spain until the enactment of the current Act on June 5th 1992. 
     The work also sets out in detail every possible measure to be adopted concerning juvenile justice: admonishment, supervisory, non-custodial sentences, fostering, depriving the juvenile of his right to drive, community service orders, and finally, open, semi-open or closed prision. 
     The  out-of-court agreements are proposed as an alternative and finally, the article offers a brief review of the current legislative trends concerning the juvenile in Spain. 

    Key words: Juvenile delinquency, judicial intervention, out-of-court agreements.

  • 05: GARCÍA ORZA, J.: A cognitive model of bully-victim interactions. (vol. 13, nº 1, pp. 51-56). 

    • Abstract: Bullying is a subtype of aggression that involves systematic verbal, psychological or physical harassment of a weaker child (the whipping boy) by a stronger one (the bully). This behavior is elicited by subjects with the proposal of stablishing a dominance relation wich provides them social or individual rewards. This aggression used to ocurr with considerable frequency between pupils in the school. Bullying is a complex interaction in wich educatives, socials and cognitives variables are involved. The aim of this review is to offer, from a socialcognitive perspective wich proposed the use of mental models of interpersonal relationship, an analysis of the processes implicated in the interaction between bullies and victims. Attention to bullying from this point of view can facilitate the understanding of the phenomena wich will redounds to intervention and prevention.  

    Keywords: Bullying, bullies, victims, mental models, social cognition.

  • 06: SÁIZ VICENTE, E., CHISVERT PERALES, M., and BAÑULS EGEDA, R.: Psychological effects of the exposure to traffic in professionals and novice drivers. (vol. 13, nº 1, pp. 57-66). 

    • Abstract: This work offers an empirical approximation to the problems of the emotional variable anxiety in a professional drivers sample and novice. This emotional reaction is present in a high number of injured subjects, in addition to be other of the emotions that more cite the persons when drive. The investigation tries the study of the own traffic situation as generating of anxiety, measure through Inventario de Situaciones Ansiógenas en el Tráfico (ISAT, Bañuls, 1993). 
    Our objective is centered in determining if actually the exposition to the traffic, greater obviously in the professional drivers, generates greater anxiety levels in these, in comparison with the conductors novice, as well as to show what potentially generating situations of anxiety are related to the accident rates in both samples of drivers.  
    The novice drivers punctuate significantly higher than the professional drivers in those designated situations of external evaluation and those than external impediments and withholdings, while, the professionals underline in those situations that denote self-evaluation of the subject and those that imply critical and aggression originating from the drivers of other vehicles. 

    Key Words: Anxiety, Professional Drivers, Novice Drivers.

(Bañuls, 1993) for both drivers samples.

    • Abstract: This work is included within recent short term memory theories. Short term memory is a understood as temporary retention of information, that is, the part of permanent memory which is temporarirly activated from a critical threshold and that can be recognized and manipulated by active cognitive processes. We begin from the assumption that in recognition memory tasks with significant materials, subjects activate and process not only the stmulus information but also category information related to imput and context information present in the stimulus situation. Two experiments are made with YES/NO test of recognition memory, introducing variations both in the category relations between study and new stimuli. Results confirm the initial hypothesis. 

    Key words: Recognition memory, threshold, semantic activation, cateogorization

  • 09: VALERA ESPÍN, A., and SÁNCHEZ MECA, J.: Significance tests and effect magnitud: Reflections and proposals. (vol. 13, nº 1, 85-90). 

    • Abstract: Several proposals that enable to complement the information offered in statistical hypothesis testing are described. Using these proposals reduce the most hard critic that significance tests have suffered: Significance tests do not offer information about the magnitude of the relationship among the involved variables. The proposals that are discussed in this paper are: Confidence intervals, effect size, binomial effect size display, counternull value and common language effect size indicator. 

    Key words: Significance tests, statistical hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, effect size.
