  • Abstract: The death of H. J. Eysenck represents the missing of the most important european psychologist since Wundt. Eysenck began to study human intelligence later in his scientific development however from the beginning shown a hard position: intelligence is basically one in line with the theory of Spearman, a natural, biological and genetically based phenomenon. In this field Eysenck has defend a theoretical position very near to information processing theory and has offered a theory on creativity in which personality and intelligence have been joined. The coherence of this position in relationhips to his general theory of personal functioning and structure, summary of data and theoretical alternatives are revisited. Here is defended that human intelligence, in contemporary and complex western society represents basically a socially based concept and nearer to a multiple competence theory than a natural-biologically one. Background and illustrations from this perspective follow.

On one hand, the importance of the psychobiology theory and data in the construction and development of his theory is underlined. On the other hand, it is reviewed the great amount of studies carried out in order to biologically validate his theory, especially in what regards the Introversion-Extraversion and the Neuroticism-Control dimensions.

  • 03: IBÁÑEZ, E.: Why Eysenck did not talk about Health Psychology. (vol. 13, nº 2, pp. 119-126)
  • Abstract: In this study, it is tried to prove that the work of Eysenck is centred in the topic of the health from its beginnings. The mental health served him as approach for the establishment of its trifactorial personality model. Later, he tries to apply this model to the field of the psychooncology, seeking to establish relationships between Personality and Cancer. Both of them perspectives eysenckianas exemplify the existence of the two dominant paradigms that they are at the present on the concept of Health.

  • 04: SEOANE, J.: Social Contributions of Hans Eysenck's Psychology. (vol. 13, nº 2, pp. 127-138) 
  • Abstract: The time of Eysenck can describe herself like a rich time in shades and in perspectives; without a doubt, from the 30's at the 90's, Europe lives in a packed period of social, political and scientific events. As all the intellectuals that deserved that name for then, Eysenck carries out its work in interaction with the social and political events of the moment. Hans Eysenck is one of the most fascinating representatives in the current psychological transition that evolves from a systematic psychology toward a practical and sectoral psychology. The analysis of their meaning and the interpretation of the psychological sense of its in-vestigations is one of the most suggestive projects for the understanding of the current state and future of our discipline. Eysenck granted a great importance to the social aspects along all its work, to the margin that its perspective is debatable, politically incorrect or caused by its first years of education.

    Key words: Social psychology; political attitudes; so-cial attitudes; Europe; Eysenck.

  • 05: PINILLOS, J.L.: Memories of my talkings with Eysenck. (vol. 13, nº 2, pp. 139-142) 
  • Abstract: In this paper, that the author dedicated to his master, Pinillos reminds some of the conversations kept with H.J. Eysenck from 1951 until 1991. In those conversations, Eysenck often talked about his work, his ideas in progress, and the problems that he found when he was trying to verify or explain his hypothesis.
    In other occasions, the dialogue derived toward more general topics, as the nature of consciousness and its adaptative value, a problem that Eysenck was worried about, or it was mixed with anecdotes from Eysenck's life and his relationships with psychologists as Burt or Skinner. The interest of these stories comes from uncovering private aspects of the Eysenck's character, that deserves to make it known because they differ from the public image that he had.

  • Abstract: The purpose of this longitudinal study is to review the classical behaviour presented by a child having autistic traits, is mentally retarded, as from three years of age up to four, similar to that described by authors such as Kanner 1943, Wing 1981 and Frith 1991. The intervention is carried our through films in free and semi-estructured situations, both at the University s clinic and at the childs home. The results of the qualitative analysis indicate that the characteristics of the behaviour presented define the child as autistic, since serious alterations are observed in the development of communications and in her social relationships with others persons, and because of the sui generis use she makes of objects.

  • Abstract: In this paper we present the results of an study which objective is analysing the influence that several aspects of role traditional feminine have in the anxious syntomatology in adult women. This aspects are to be housewife, the Feminity, and the Belives Traditional toward the Woman's Role. The same is constituted for 401 (25-45 yr) who were evaluated with the folowing instruments: Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) (Spence & Helmrich, 1978), the Belives Toward Women Role Scale (Pérez-Blasco y Serra, 1994) and the Anxiety Inventory (Zung, 1971). The results suggest, in agreement with other investigations, the existence of correlation between feminity and anxiety and between tradicionality and anxiety, but no between to be housewife and anxiety.

  • Abstract: Standardized mood induction procedures in laboratory settings have been widely used to investigate relationships between mood states, cognitions and behaviors. The aim of this study was to examine in our cultural scene the efficacy of viewing films with emotional contents as a single procedure to induce mood states, as well as to assess their effects in words recall. Mood states using two questionnaires (POMS and IDDA-EA) and recall of words with positive and negative affect meaning, were assessed in 119 studens before and after viewing a "happy" or a "sad" film. Significant statistical changes were observed in all POMS subscales as well as in the "Activation" and "Stress" subscales of the IDDA-EA. Furthermore, an increase in the recalling of words with positive affect meaning was observed in the group that saw the "happy" film. These results seem to indicate that the procedure is adequate to induce mood changes in laboratory settings. On the other hand, some manipulations addressed to enhance the efficacy of this mood induction procedure are suggested.

  • Abstract: We study the possibility of establishing conditioned evaluative responses by subliminal USs presentations. For that, we have carried out an experiment using neutral no-words like CSs and pleasant and unpleasant words like USs. The CS-US couples were showed three times, the USs being presented 28.57 msec. and with backward mask. Ours results show a mere exposure effect but not a evaluative conditioning one.
