Cognitive, emotional, communicative, and motor development in children born from couple’s gametes cryopreserved oocytes. A 20 years single-center experience

ObjectiveTo study if social and emotional, communicative, cognitive, motor development of children born from cryopreserved oocytes are comparable to general population. DesignSurvey study. ExposureThis is a single-center population study, focusing on all children born from cycles of in vitro fertilization of cryopreserved oocytes at Humanitas Fertility Center from January 1st,2003, until December 31st, 2021. Main outcome measuresGeneral information about birth history were collected from all parents. Then, screening for developmental delay was performed by administration of a questionnaire, edited according to milestones set for age by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.Primary outcomes included the percentage of children, for each age range, that reached related milestones. In children younger than 6 years of age, milestones were considered to be reached by each age-based population subgroup studied when ≥ 75 % of included children expressed the tested competences. ResultsA total of 355 live births fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the study. Results showed that each age-based population subgroup, younger than 6 years of age, scored ≥ 75 % in all the milestones included in the questionnaire.In preadolescents and adolescents, it was noted a decrease in unstructured in-person socializing. Indeed, milestones that scored the lowest values, based on parents’ judgement, included tasks concerning peer-to-peer interaction (72.31%) and sexuality and sentimental relationships (63.08%). ConclusionsResults indicated that the achievement of emotional, communicative, cognitive, and motor milestones in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers was comparable to the general pediatric population. Similarly, emotional wellbeing and social engagement in school-aged children, preadolescents, and adolescents were in line with their peers.

Financial Sentiment Analysis: Techniques and Applications

Financial Sentiment Analysis (FSA) is an important domain application of sentiment analysis that has gained increasing attention in the past decade. FSA research falls into two main streams. The first stream focuses on defining tasks and developing techniques for FSA, and its main objective is to improve the performances of various FSA tasks by advancing methods and using/curating human-annotated datasets. The second stream of research focuses on using financial sentiment, implicitly or explicitly, for downstream applications on financial markets, which has received more research efforts. The main objective is to discover appropriate market applications for existing techniques. More specifically, the application of FSA mainly includes hypothesis testing and predictive modeling in financial markets. This survey conducts a comprehensive review of FSA research in both the technique and application areas and proposes several frameworks to help understand the two areas’ interactive relationship. This article defines a clearer scope for FSA studies and conceptualizes the FSA-investor sentiment-market sentiment relationship. Major findings, challenges, and future research directions for both FSA techniques and applications have also been summarized and discussed.

Influence of Digital Skills on The Academic Performance of University Students: A Socioeconomic Approach

Purpose: Analyzing the influence of digital competencies on the academic performance of university students through a socioeconomic approach. Theoretical framework: Theories associated with digital competence, academic performance and the influence of socioeconomic factors were addressed. Method: A mixed Ditriac-type approach was applied, with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design, where the total population was 1215 university students and the probabilistic sample for the survey was 292 students and the non-probabilistic sample for the interview was 29 students who served to collect quantitative and qualitative data respectively. Quantitative data were obtained through the COMPDIG-PED instrument of digital competence in pedagogy, whose reliability was assessed by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient α = 0.911 and academic performance was evaluated through documentary analysis of the institution's academic records, which were then processed in SPSS, and qualitative data were analyzed with Atlas.ti software considering 15 codes, 10 sub categories and 6 categories, also taking into account the socioeconomic aspect throughout the process, from the selection of participants to the interpretation of the results. Results and conclusions: The results support a moderate degree of positive correlation of digital competencies and academic performance with an rs = 0.546 and with a significance level p = 0.000, where with respect to the coefficient of determination it is shown that digital competency influences 30.5% on the academic performance of university students, while the remaining 69.5% is affected by other socioeconomic factors. Concluding that there is positive correlation and 30.5% of influence of digital competencies with respect to academic performance, where the remaining 69.5% is due to socioeconomic factors such as educational level in parents, economic level, work, sentimental relationship and the management of time dedicated to study. Originality/value: To provide insight into students' perceptions on the management of digital competencies and their influence on academic performance, integrating socioeconomic aspects.

From Bildungsroman to Bildungsromance: Physical and Affective War in Chinelo Okparanta’s Under the Udala Trees

The bildungsroman has dominated the Nigerian literary landscape since the 1990s with novels such as Chimamanda N. Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus (2004), Unoma Azuah’s Sky-High Flames (2005), Chika Unigwe’s Night Dancer (2012), and Chinelo Okparanta’s Under the Udala Trees (2015). These coming-of-age stories place a special emphasis on the national evolution of Nigeria. Thus, by delving into such interrelation of the national and personal domains, I propose to theorize Under the Udala Trees as a “bildungsromance,” or novel of affective and romantic development. I use the term “bildungsromance” to describe the growth of Okparanta’s protagonist, Ijeoma, as intrinsically associated with the experiences gathered from her affective attachments both in the public and the private spheres. I will analyze Ijeoma’s sentimental relationships as she discovers and naturalizes her queer identity. For this, I will delve into the negative affects − in the form of fear, shame and guilt (Braidotti 2009, 50) − that influence Ijeoma’s experience as a result of her non-conforming to the dictums of Nigerian customary laws. Ironically, such negative affects will be introduced as tightly associated with “the promise of happiness” (Ahmed 2010, 14). In turn, I shall underline the role of Ijeoma’s intimate and romantic relationships in prompting positive forms of affect such as self-love and pride. These affective experiences allow Ijeoma to acquire a critical perspective towards Nigerian customary laws and their impact on identity formation and on what has been referred to as the “democratisation of the private sphere” (Giddens 1992, 184). Ultimately, I will hinge upon Ijeoma’s awareness of her own affective advancements as a key element in her bildungsromance.

Hybrid cross-modal interaction learning for multimodal sentiment analysis

Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) predicts the sentiment polarity of an unlabeled utterance that carries multiple modalities, such as text, vision and audio, by analyzing labeled utterances. Existing fusion methods mainly focus on establishing the relationship of characteristics among different modalities to enhance their emotion recognition abilities. However, they always ignore the all-round interaction between different modalities, especially the cross-modal interaction, which is critical to the sentiment decision of multimodal data. To address these issues, we propose a novel hybrid cross-modal interaction learning (HCIL) framework for hybrid learning of intra-modal, inter-modal, interactive-modal and cross-modal interactions, with which the model can fully utilize the sentiment information of multimodalities and enhance the sentiment assistance between modalities. Specifically, we propose two core substructures to learn discriminative multimodal features. One is the comparative learning interaction structure that can track the class dynamics in the intra-modal, reduce the modal gap in the inter-modal and establish emotional communication in the interactive-modal; the other is the cross-modal prediction structure, which can build the sentiment relationship between cross-modal pairs, especially exploring the auxiliary sentiment effect of audio on the vision and text. Furthermore, we adopt a hierarchical feature fusion structure to generate the multimodal feature for the final sentiment prediction. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets showed that our HCIL approach can obtain significant performance on the MSA task and that the design of a cross-modal interaction structure can directly promote the improvement of sentiment classification performance.

TECHNOLOGY, SIMULATION AND SENTIMENTAL RELATIONSHIPS IN <i>GEOGRAFÍA DE LA LENGUA</i> BY ANDREA JEFTANOVIC

This article analyses the sentimental relationship proposed by Andrea Jeftanovic in Geografía de la lengua. The sentimental relationship of its protagonists arises in a nonplace. It is also constructed through the technological medium and generates in the subjects a confusion between reality and fiction. These traits, which the critics have attributed to the narrative of simulation, constitute the main vectors of this analysis. The aim of this article is to highlight the literary treatment of the different conditioning factors that crosses a sentimental relationship subjected to physical distance and technology.

Conversational emotion recognition studies based on graph convolutional neural networks and a dependent syntactic analysis

Multimodal Emotion Recognition for Conversation (ERC) is a challenging multi-class classification task that requires recognizing multiple speakers’ emotions in text, audio, video, and other modalities. ERC has received considerable attention from researchers due to its potential applications in opinion mining, advertising, and healthcare. However, the syntactic structure characteristics of the text itself have not been considered in this study. Taking into account this, this paper proposes a conversational affective analysis model (DSAGCN) combining dependent syntactic analysis and graph convolutional neural networks. Since words that reflect emotional polarity are usually concentrated exclusively in limited regions, the DSAGCN model first employs a self-attention mechanism to capture the most effective words in the dialogue context and obtain a more accurate vector representation of the emotional semantics. Then, based on speaker relationships and dependent syntactic relationships, the multimodal sentiment relationship graphs are constructed. Finally, a graph convolutional neural network is used to complete the recognition of multimodal emotion. In extensive experiments on two real datasets, IEMOCAP and MELD, the DSAGCN model outperforms the existing models in terms of average accuracy and f1 values for multimodal emotion recognition, especially for emotions such as “happiness” and “anger”. Thus, dependent syntactic analysis and self-attention mechanism can enhance the model’s ability to understand emotions.

Sex and Affective Education at University: Evaluation of the Training of Students

There is currently a scarcity of training proposals at university related with sex and affective education. The present work analyzes the impact on university students of an intervention in sex education implemented through training programs, in both virtual and in-person formats. A study was conducted with 143 participants enrolled in different university degrees, following a quasi-experimental (pre–post) method with three groups, through the administration of a questionnaire composed by 138 items organized into five scales and was collected at three different times of measurement (previous evaluation, evaluation after the training period, and a final evaluation three months after the training). The results indicate that the students experienced a significant improvement on their knowledge about sexuality, with a ceiling effect detected in the scores of concepts such as attitude towards sex education, gender-based violence, intercultural sentimental relationships, and self-esteem. The conclusions revealed the need to introduce sex and affective education training in the teaching and learning processes in university contexts, through the official curricula of the undergraduate and post-graduate degrees that focus on human groups.

Devils or angels when in love? An exploratory study investigating romantic love among high-risk athletes

In recent years, research on high-risk athletes has focused mainly on personality traits, highlighting a complex and often ambivalent personality structure. Although scholars pointed out emotional difficulties amongst high-risk athletes, there exists to this day no in-depth investigation of the affective aspect. In an effort to address this so-far neglected question, this study offers the first thorough exploration of patterns of romantic relationships among high-risk athletes. Two groups were selected: people who practice extreme sports (N = 189; Extreme) and those who practice other types of sports (N = 207; Non-extreme). A series of tests were administered to evaluate romantic love, personality traits and self-esteem. Results showed that Extreme tend to display less intense feelings than their Non-extreme counterparts; conversely, their sentimental relationships are characterized by positive emotions and stable feelings, avoiding negative emotions. Hence, despite stereotypes which characterize Extreme as thrill-seekers prone to impulsivity, it seems that this group do not in fact seek as many thrills in their love life, but rather seek stability and contentment. Although still in it explorative phase, this study produced preliminary data which should be considered in devising further assessment and therapeutic strategies for this population of athletes.

Dimensions of relationship on the background of migration. The case of moldovan adolescents rooted in Italy

Sentimental relationships, according to migration studies, are considered to be the calling card for the integration of immigrants through their children, who, being socialized through the cultural model of the host country, would have more possibilities and predispositions towards relations with the natives, accelerating, in this way, the process of ethnic openness and acceptance of immigrants by the host society. The present work reflects the sentimental tendencies of Moldovan immigrant adolescents from Italy, which derive from parental influences and cultural affiliation. Furthermore, it highlights the dynamics of hypothetical partners' choices, especially when speaking of relational integration in the context of migration.

Knowledge, Attitudes, Risk Perceptions, and Practices of Spanish Adolescents Toward the COVID-19 Pandemic: Validation and Results of the Spanish Version of the Questionnaire.

Background: Adolescence is a period with physical, psychological, biological, intellectual, and social changes in which there is usually little perception of risk. COVID-19 has generated constant situations of change and uncertainty worldwide. During the pandemic, the acquisition of preventive behaviors has been relevant. Various studies carried out with adults associate risk perception and the implementation of preventive behaviors with knowledge about the COVID-19 and with age, but there are not many studies with adolescents. Therefore, the objective is to validate, in Spanish, the questionnaire of the knowledge, attitudes, risk perceptions, and practices of adolescents toward the pandemic, and analyze it according to sociodemographic characteristics.Method: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study, which included adolescents between the ages of 12–18 (n = 354). First, a translation and a back-translation of the questionnaire were performed. The questionnaire was presented in several high schools chosen by convenience sampling and following a non-probabilistic snowball sampling. Reliability and validity analyses were then carried out and the relationships between the different sociodemographic variables (gender, place of residence, level of education, if the person was in a sentimental relationship, and financial aid) were analyzed.Results: The reliability of the questionnaire is acceptable (ordinal alpha = 77%). Knowledge was higher in women, and in those with a higher level of education; and were lower in those who lived in smaller towns, as well as in those who had a member of their family receiving financial aid. In terms of attitudes and risk perceptions, younger adolescents had higher scores, and those who had a member of their family receiving financial aid, lower.Conclusion: The questionnaire is a reliable tool in the Spanish adolescent population. Knowledge was influenced by gender, place of residence, level of education, and financial aid. Attitudes and risk perceptions were influenced by age and financial aid. For practices, no predictors were found. In general, adolescents scored lower on knowledge about COVID-19, but they scored higher on COVID-19 safety practices.

Indian Perception and Willingness to Buy Indian Brands: The Role of Ethnocentrism and Animosity

Indian goods have invaded the Indian market, leading to a serious confusion to local enterprises. Despite increased sentiment, Indian product and India's consumer relationship remains tainted by suspicion, antagonism, and distrust. As a result, it's important to know how buyers discriminate between domestic and foreign items. The impact of ethnocentrism, customer antipathy, socioeconomic standing, and personal self-esteem on purchase intention toward Indian products is investigated in this study. The findings show that consumers in developing countries have very different views and behaviors than their counterparts in rich countries. The link between ethnocentrism and consumer resentment is not as strong as one might think. Indians' buy intentions are influenced by their personal self-esteem and customer animosity, while ethnocentrism and socioeconomic class play a role. Status, on the other hand, has no such effect. The goal of the study is to add to the current knowledge on foreign product purchase intentions and to assist marketers in developing marketing mix tactics. Keywords: Brand image, Brand loyalty, Consumer ethnocentrism, Consumer animosity, Product judgment

Sexual concerns in patients with heart transplantation and left ventricular assist devices: A subject clinicians should care about

Data on the quality of sex life of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and heart transplant (HTx) recipients are scarce, with the literature focusing primarily on survival, technical development, and physiologic aspects. The objective of this study is to evaluate the sexuality of these patients, to better appreciate and understand the patients’ feelings in their daily lives and with the objective of better meeting their expectations. It would thus be possible to provide our patients answers to these problems, through better training of health professional or the development of patient guides with the help of learned societies. A postal survey was carried out in January 2020 at the Rennes university hospital for ambulatory HTx patients (multicenter with the Toulouse, Grenoble, Lyon, Dijon and Paris university hospitals for LVAD patients) using Homemade questionnaire, validated in our center. Forty-eight LVAD patients and 124 HTx patients completed this questionnaire. Sexuality is less resumed (43.7% vs. 75%, P = 0.0002) and more altered (95% vs. 31.8%, P < 0.0001) in LVAD patients. Feelings about the sentimental relationship with the partner, sexual desire, frequency of intercourse, and partner satisfaction of LVAD patients remain significantly impaired compared with heart transplant patients. Sexual dysfunctions are greatly aggravated after surgery in the 2 populations and too little attention is paid to them. The majority of the patients avoid discussing this issue with their physicians (74.4% for LVAD patients – 84.5% for HTx patients). Our study provides exhaustive and new data regarding sexuality in these populations, which is more altered in LVAD patients compared to transplant patients. These results could improve the care of these patients by enriching the spectrum of management beyond survival and mortality data alone. An external validation of our questionnaire could also allow a harmonization of practices.

Risk and resilience factors for specific and general psychopathology worsening in people with Eating Disorders during COVID-19 pandemic: a retrospective Italian multicentre study.

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic restrictions had negative impact on the psychopathology of people with Eating Disorders (EDs). Factors involved in the vulnerability to stressful events have been under-investigated in this population. We aimed to assess which factors contributed to COVID-19-induced worsening in both general and specific psychopathology.MethodsThree-hundred and twelve people with a clinically defined diagnosis of an ED and undergoing a specialist ED treatment in different Italian ED services before the spreading of COVID-19 pandemic filled in an online survey. ED specific and general psychopathology changes after COVID-19 quarantine were retrospectively evaluated. Factors related to COVID-19 concerns (financial condition, fear of contagion, perceived social isolation/support, satisfaction in peer, family or sentimental relationships), illness duration and treatment-related variables (type of treatment provided, type of access to care, satisfaction with therapeutic relationships) were included as predicting factors in a structural equational model, which included latent variables consisting of general and ED psychopathology items as outcomes.ResultsA perceived low quality of therapeutic relationships, fear of contagion and increased isolation were positively associated with psychopathology worsening. Reduced satisfaction with family and with friends’ relationships and reduced perceived social support were associated with ED and general symptoms deterioration, respectively. No significant effect emerged for intimate relationships, illness duration, economic condition and type of treatment.ConclusionsThis study provides a comprehensive evaluation of clinical variables associated with psychopathological changes during the COVID-19 lockdown period highlighting potential risk and resilience factors and, possibly, informing treatment as well as prevention strategies for EDs.Level of evidence IVEvidence obtained from multiple time series analysis such as case studies

The Rise of theMadre Abnegada(Selfless Mother)

AbstractHailed by fans and critics as “Mexico’s Mother,” and later “Mexico’s Grandmother,” the actor Sara García exemplified the sentimental attributes associated with notions of womanhood. As Mexico’s mother par excellence, García created multigenerational portrayals that introduced audiences to a martyr-like maternal figure: the madre abnegada (selfless mother). This essay examines the origin, diffusion, and popularity of this uniquely Mexican subjectivity. Drawing on poetry, song lyrics, movie reviews, and an analysis of the film Mi madrecita (1940), the essay argues that, in combination with emerging priorities of writers and directors, García’s fashioning of the madre abnegada tapped into and vitalized the sentimental relationship between mother and child and between nation and citizen. In theorizing these relations, the essay introduces the term national maternal as a means of capturing the gendered, raced, classed, spiritual, and patriotic dynamics through which notions of motherhood in Mexico were structured. The national maternal rose to prominence as women and progressive leaders challenged exacting patriarchal family arrangements.

Climax as Orgasm: On Debussy’s ‘L’isle Joyeuse’

This article discusses the relationship of musical climax and orgasm by considering the case of L'isle joyeuse, a piano piece that Claude Debussy (1862-1918) began in 1903, completing it in the Summer of 1904 soon after starting a sentimental relationship with Emma Bardac, nee Moyse (1862-1934), his second wife and the mother of his daughter Claude-Emma, alias 'Chouchou' (1905-1919). By exploring the genesis of the piece, I suggest that the creative process started as the pursuit of a solitary exotic male fantasy, culminating in Debussy's sexual encounter with Emma and leading the composer to inscribe their shared experience in the final, revised form of the piece. The erotic component of the piece has been stressed by, among others, Michael Klein, who speaks of 'undeniable sexual energy' close to the point where, he says, 'the music reaches orgasm.' 1 This description of the final climax seems justified and indeed throws new light on the ways in which music and sexuality are intertwined in the individuals' experience, including, potentially, the listener's. Now, while Klein's insights into the piece are stimulating, he does not justify the use of the word orgasm, which he takes only as a hyperbolic substitute for climax. By exploring the role of music in the actual life of the actors, this article makes a case for orgasm being more than a literary metaphor. At a theoretical level, an ecological approach to music perception suggests that music can afford sexual behaviour and representations in particular situations. I privilege here a discussion of analogies between climax and orgasm, not because I think that orgasm is the essence and purpose of sexual pleasure, as generally thought, but rather because it is well suited for a systematic analysis of the formal relationships between sex and music. 2

Muertes por homicidio-suicidio en Bogotá

Introducción: las muertes en el contexto del homicidio-suicidio (H-S) son eventos poco frecuentes y por lo tanto poco estudiados en nuestra región. Sin embargo, su estudio ayuda a comprender el escenario de una de las formas más graves de violencia en cuanto niega el derecho humano fundamental a la vida y suprime, en consecuencia, todos los demás derechos. Este estudio describe los casos de H-S sucedidos en el periodo 2007-2012 en Bogotá, mediante su caracterización epidemiológica.&#x0D; Métodos: los casos de estudio fueron seleccionados a partir de muertes por suicidio que se relacionan con otros fallecidos en los mismos hechos, registrados en el Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses de Colombia; se excluyeron aquellos casos en los que uno de los dos, perpetrador o víctima finalmente sobrevivieron a pesar de las lesiones y aquellos en los que el contexto corresponde a pactos suicidas o suicidios dobles. Adicionalmente, se realiza una tipificación de los eventos de H-S estudiados con base en las características sociodemográficas y el contexto de cada evento.&#x0D; Resultados: se identificaron 25 eventos de H-S, en los que, en su gran mayoría, fueron hombres los perpetradores/suicidas, y mujeres y niños, sus víctimas. El instrumento más utilizado fue un arma de fuego. En el 60% de los casos los eventos ocurrieron en un domicilio y en el 88% de los casos la muerte del perpetrador ocurrió en el mismo lugar donde ocurrió el homicidio. Los factores precipitantes del hecho fueron principalmente sentimientos de amor-celos y la retaliación.&#x0D; Conclusiones: los eventos de H-S son en su gran mayoría perpetrados por hombres hacia mujeres con quienes mantuvieron algún tipo de relación sentimental, lo que los ubica en contextos de violencia de género. Es importante que las comunidades jurídica y forense visibilicen estos casos de manera que su detección y análisis permita el diseño de estrategias de promoción y prevención que ayuden a disminuir su ocurrencia.

‘There Must Be Something There That We Don't Know About’: Massenet and Lucy Arbell

AbstractLucy Arbell (1878–1947) assumed an important position in Massenet's compositional process and output. Beginning withArianein 1906, he wrote principal or secondary roles for the singer in all of his operas, as well as the celebrated song cycleExpressions lyriques(1909–1911). Despite Massenet's admiration, the French contralto was received ambivalently by critics and she fell into oblivion soon after his death. For some, her talents as an actress could not make up for the mediocre quality of her voice. Drawing on unpublished and hitherto unknown archival documents, this article explores Arbell's career, which has been largely overlooked by scholars. I reveal how her career's evolution was intimately connected to the professional and sentimental relationship between singer and composer. Massenet notably wrote roles for her that included extensive use of spoken declamation, which sets them apart in the history of opera.

Mass Mobilization: Divinity as the Prime Source of Indian Nationalism in the Madras Presidency: 1910-1912

The Government of British India came with a spate of legislations to control the pro-Swadeshi sentiments of the Indian Press. When the Swadeshi Movement was in peak, the Indian press constantly exhibited the public opinion against the Government and succeeded in creating 'as emotional and sentimental relationship between the people and the press. In initial stage of movement, the vernacular press published frequent articles directly against the British authorities. Irked by this, the Government of India passed the Indian Press Act in February 1910. In March 1910, the India, the Vijaya and the Suryodayam newspapers published in Tamil in French Pondicherry were proscribed under section 12(1) of the Indian Press Act of 1910. All these papers were published by S.Srinivachari, Bharathi and Neelakanda Bramachari. Moreover, the British authorities proscribed a number of Swadeshi pamphlets, tracts and leaflets in the Madras Presidency.

Actitudes hacia la sexualidad y bienestar psicológico en personas mayores.

El estudio de los factores que influyen en el proceso de envejecimiento activo y saludable constituye uno de los principales intereses de la psicogerontología. En este sentido, el bienestar psicológico es un indicador fiable que asegura el éxito de dicho proceso, mientras que la sexualidad se convierte en una variable moduladora relevante. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar si las actitudes hacia la sexualidad y el bienestar psicológico de las personas mayores están moduladas por el tipo de residencia, el estado civil y el grado de autonomía. Para ello se utiliza la Escala de Actitudes sobre la Sexualidad en la Vejez y la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico en una muestra de 70 personas, 35 mujeres y 35 hombres, con edades comprendidas entre los 65 y los 95 años (M = 76.78; DT = 8.3). Los resultados revelan que, en general, las actitudes más liberales hacia la sexualidad y el mayor grado de bienestar psicológico se asocian significativamente con el hecho de vivir fuera de las instituciones residenciales y mantener una relación sentimental con una pareja estable. Por su parte, el grado de autonomía solo alcanza significación estadística en el bienestar psicológico, pero no en las actitudes hacia la sexualidad. Puesto que las personas mayores representan un sector de la población estigmatizado (con numerosos mitos y creencias negativas asociadas), este estudio contribuye a crear una concepción más positiva del proceso de envejecimiento, normalizando los comportamientos y enfatizando las variables a considerar en la elaboración de programas de optimización evolutiva.
