Abstract

The study of cyber stalking is starting in Mexico. The impact of technology use today is undeniable, but also should not forget that there are people who use it to harass others. So the purpose of this investigation was to validate in Mexico the subscale of the Survey Obsessive Relational Intrusion called Contact Mediated (Spitzberg & Cupach, 2014). To do so, participated 717 people (504 women and 204 men) who reported being harassed. We used the method of validity and reliability of Reyes Lagunes & García y Barragán (2008) to obtain a valid measure with robust and interesting psychometric properties and five: remote surveillance, search interaction, social prestige, approaches and violence. The scale was different in the originally reported factorial configuration.

Abstract

The characteristics associated with masculinity and femininity are a topic of interest because of the impact that gender roles have on the daily lives of human beings. Mexico is a cultural mosaic in which coexist different traditions that express how roles can be more or less flexible or rigid, depending on the region. This study aimed to understand the behavior of a scale of gender roles applied in different parts of the country, to 1,624 people from four regions (Northeast, North Pacific, Central and Southeast). The scale proved to be culturally sensitive and revealed variations in the perception of the gender roles that correspond with the cultural characteristics of the area of the country from which the data were extracted, but consistent factors, such as the “absence of male emotional expressiveness”, are also observed. Findings are discussed in the light of the current literature, and we make some suggestions to be applied in the education of future men and women, to be more equitable and democratic generations.

Abstract

In this paper, the Spanish translation, adaptation, and validation processes of the Teachers Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (Lester, 1987) are described. 66 items with a five-option answer Likert scale were applied to 392 Mexican teachers (188 female, 204 male). Discrimination, reliability, and factor analyses were undertaken to obtain 33 items in seven factors: Supervision, Negative attitudes to teaching, Progress, Responsibility, Work itself, Social climate, and Working conditions. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was calculated (coefficient alpha) in .91 for the total score.
