Happiness is everything, or is it? Explorations on the meaning of psychological well-being.
Open accessAbstract
El Bienestar Psicológico ha sido ampliamente abordado en la Psicología; sin embargo, poco estudiado desde la Psicología de las emergencias y desastres. El objetivo de la investigación que dio origen a este artículo fue caracterizar las condiciones de vida y el bienestar psicológico de los adolescentes damnificados por las altas lluvias en Campo de la Cruz, municipio del departamento del Atlántico, como primera fase de un proyecto de intervención. Se realizó una investigación de tipo cuantitativo, descriptivo, en la que participaron 228 estudiantes entre los 13 y los 18 años de edad. Se concluye que después del desastre, un grupo significativo de los adolescentes reporta satisfacción respecto a diversas áreas de la vida, pero señalan falencias en la autonomía y relaciones personales, y no están satisfechos con sus condiciones económicas, ni con los espacios de los que disponen para realizar sus actividades educativas.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
