Quality of Life and Hospital Anxiety-Depression in Patients with malformation chest wall
The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between Quality of Life levels and Hospital Anxiety-Depression in patients diagnosed with chest wall malformation and to compare these variables according to sociodemographic characteristics. To achieve this, a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted. The sample included 30 patients of both sexes (F=11; M=19), aged between 14 and 45 years (M=23.3; SD=7.25). The instruments used were an ad-hoc sociodemographic questionnaire, the SF-36 questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Significant correlations were found in some dimensions, such as the association between a higher perception of general health and elevated anxiety levels, as well as between fewer physical limitations and a reduction in depressive symptoms. Other results indicate the presence of additional emotional and contextual factors that influence the psychological well-being of these patients. The differences observed according to age, type of malformation, and access to healthcare coverage highlight the need for a multidimensional approach in the evaluation and intervention of these patients. The importance of medical treatment and social support in the perception of quality of life underscores the role of therapeutic adherence and the doctor-patient relationship as key aspects in mitigating the psychosocial impact of the disease.

Eating Styles, experiential avoidance, and Psychological Distress in Adults in the Province of Buenos Aires.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between eating styles, psychological distress, and experiential avoidance in adults living in Buenos Aires. The sample consisted of 156 participants aged 18 to 72 years (M= 34.33; SD= 10.64), who were divided into three groups (Vegetarian, Vegan, and Omnivorous). Method: This was a cross-sectional, correlational study of differences between groups. An Ad-Hoc Sociodemographic Questionnaire designed for this research, the Kessler K10 Psychological Distress Scale (Kessler & Mroseck, 1994), adapted to the local environment by Brenlla and Aranguren (2010), and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) (Hayes, Strosahl, Wilson & Col, 2004; Mexican adaptation, Patrón Espinosa, 2010) were administered. Results: Differences were found for both Experiential Avoidance and Psychological Distress. In the former, both vegetarians and vegans obtained lower means than omnivores; while for the latter, differences were only observed between vegetarians and omnivores. Conclusion: It is possible to consider that dietary styles that omit meat consumption contribute to reducing experiential avoidance and psychological distress. However, it is important to note that contextual variables should be analyzed to determine their influence.

Associations between emotion regulation, reading habits, and screen use in early childhood in contexts of social vulnerability.
Emotional regulation in early childhood is a fundamental skill for socio-emotional development, as it enables infants to manage the intensity, duration, and expression of their emotions in adaptive ways, promoting psychological well-being, social bonding, and other cognitive abilities. Among the environmental factors that may influence its development are reading habits and screen use. Reading during early childhood, whether individually or shared with an adult, has shown positive effects on emotional and cognitive development. In contrast, screen use may have varying impacts depending on its frequency, content, and modality. This study aimed to assess emotional regulation in infants from vulnerable contexts in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA), analyze the frequency of screen use and reading (individual or shared), and explore possible relationships among these variables. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 135 infant–caregiver dyads, with infants aged 12 to 46 months (M = 30.91; SD = 9.01). A sociodemographic questionnaire was used to collect information about caregivers and the family environment, along with a questionnaire on reading and screen use habits, and an adaptation of the Gift Task Paradigm to assess emotional regulation in infants. Results showed that infants who did not open the gift during the task had more books at home, and that both reading frequency and book availability were associated with a greater number of regulatory interventions by the caregiver. Regarding screen use, infants who watched television alone made fewer attempts to open the box and used more autonomous distraction strategies as self-regulation attempts, while shared use of a mobile phone with the caregiver was associated with fewer expressions of anger. It is concluded that certain aspects of the family environment, such as access to books and the caregiver’s active participation in technology use, may support the development of emotional regulation in early childhood.

Self-esteem and addiction to social networks in adolescents and young adults in the western area of Gran Buenos Aires
This main objective of this research was to evaluate the relationship between Selfesteem and Addiction to Social Networks in adolescents and young adults in the western area of Greater Buenos Aires. A quantitative investigation was carried out with a nonexperimental design, of descriptive-correlational scope and cross-sectional temporality in which 98 adolescents and 81 young adults participated, to whom a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Questionnaire Addiction to Social Networks were administered. A negative correlation was found between Self-esteem and Addiction to Social Networks and no significant differences were found by gender in any of the two constructs studied, nor between Addiction to Social Networks and the sociodemographic variables age, educational level and current job. However, significant links were found between some of the dimensions of Social Network Addiction and the variables frequency of use of said networks, perceived personal discomfort and non-virtual friendships. Finally, regarding Self-esteem, it presented a positive association with age and educational level and an inverse association with frequency of use of social networks and perceived personal discomfort. Also, it is worth saying that those who currently work were those who had greater self-esteem.

From the Elitist Oligarchy to the White Coat: Towards Education for All
The article develops a theoretical journey about some milestones in the history of Argentine education, starting from the fact that the elite and the oligarchy gave the initial kick to educational developments, despite the fact that they could have sat in the power of education compared to the rest of the classes that did not have access to public education, to end up in an inclusive and equal education. For this purpose, the proposal begins in the elitist oligarchy of Europeanizing education reserved for a few to reach the white overall as a symbol of equality. In this way, the milestone of 1882 of the International Pedagogical Congress is described, where the first steps of an egalitarian education were discussed, for two years later to be consolidated into law (1420). There is no doubt that education is a "structuring", that is to say, it continues in permanent construction and reconstruction because it travels in parallel, all the alternatives of the sociocultural, political and economic evolution of the societies and diverse contexts where it develops, then, what education we build in this 21st century.

Attitudes toward sexuality and gender ideology among adolescents and adults inthe Buenos Aires area
The present investigation sought to account for the possible existence of significant associations between the variables Attitude towards Sexuality and Representations towards Gender Expression. In addition, possible differences between adolescence and adulthood were inquired about in this regard. It was a non-experimental design, with a quantitative approach, descriptive-correlational scope and cross-sectional. Regarding the sample, it was made up of 246 subjects over 15 years of age, representing adolescence in an age range of 14 to 21 years or more (43.37%) and considering adulthood from 25 years to 64 (53 .62%), from an intentional capture and for convenience. The Attitude Scale towards Sexuality(ATSS) (Diéguez Ruibal et al., 2005) was applied; a Male/Female Ideology Questionnaire(Soto Guzmán, 2017); and a sociodemographic questionnaire prepared ad-hoc for the purposes of the investigation. The results showed that there are significant differences in relation to the age of the participants, being that the adolescents perceived lower gender ideas together with a more liberal attitude towards attitudes related to sexuality compared to adults. On the other hand, male people manifested more liberal attitudes than women in some dimensions of said variable. In turn, it was evidenced how nonbelievers have more liberal attitudes than believers in some dimensions, and in relation to this, a significant association was found between religious practices with such attitudes. Finally, it is concluded that a more representative sample should be considered, as well as longitudinal designs to better understand the relationship between these variables, as well as measurement instruments validated in Argentina

Parenting Styles and Their Connection to Different Forms of Aggressive Behaviorin Teenagers
The objective of this research was to relate parental parenting styles and types of aggressive behavior in adolescents from two public schools in the town of Quilmes. A study with a quantitative approach, correlational scope, cross-sectional was carried out with a sample made up of 200 students (47% men and 53% women), with an average age of 14.5 years (Min=12 ; Max=17). The instruments administered were the Parental Socialization Styles Scale (ESPA 29) and the Violent Behavior Scale at School, in addition to a brief sociodemographic questionnaire. When analyzing the results obtained, regarding the parental socialization styles of the mother and father and the types of aggressive behavior of the adolescents, Spearman’s Rho correlation coefficient presented, in the case of the mother, a significance of 0. 96 in overt aggression, which indicates that there is no significant relationship between the variables,and in the case of the father, a significance of 0.42 was obtained in overt aggression, which indicates the existence of a relationship. These results agree in turn when correlating the four parenting styles separately and aggressive behavior, since the mother’s predominant parenting style, Authorizing, is not related to the type of overt aggressive behavior (Sig.0.701 ), while the predominant parenting style in the father, Neglect, is related (Sig. 0.36),with which it can be concluded that adolescents raised under negative parenting styles, such as the authoritarian style (which showed be related to overt aggression, with a Sig.of 0.24) and the negligent, will tend to behave aggressively, and that adolescents raised under the Authorizing parenting style have less aggressive behaviors

Embedding Rodolfo Senet’s (1911) ontogenetic scheme of psychic development inthe ameghinian anthropogenic-retrodictive model (1884)
The present article aims to historicise the theoretical embedding (Moulines, 2011) of the ontogenetic scheme of psychic development proposed by Senet (1911) in the Ameghinian anthropogenetic retrodiction (1884, 1906, 1907, 1909), as an exemplary casuistry of Kuhnian adjustment and precision of a disciplinary paradigm-matrix in which the extension of the intentional applications of the Darwinian-decimononic problem-solving model to the pioneering Argentinean developmental psychology can be seen. A documentary analysis was carried out with structured reading of Ameghino’s Phylogeny (1884) and Senet’s Anthropogenetic Conclusions of Ameghino and Related Sciences (1911). The relevant results consist of: a) Confirming the scientific practice of confirmatory bias in deference to Ameghino’s epistemic authority and b) Identifying Senet’s (1911) intentionality to produce evidential support for the South American origin of human beings based on the proposed theoretical embedding

Students with Specific Learning Disabilities in Higher Education
Based on a demand from teachers of students with dyslexia at a Private University of the City of Buenos Aires, a study is designed to investigate the population with learning difficulties included in higher level classes. The research seeks to define the support configurations, adaptations or pertinent adaptations to provide teachers with tools in order to address the curricular contents with students who present Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD). The identification of students with AED in the classroom is carried out through a survey via google forms, sent by mail to teachers from different universities and uploaded to social networks. The questionnaire was answered by 45 higher education students between the ages of 18 and 65, with a population standard deviation of 11.25, 80% of them female and from all over the country. Then the Prodislex protocol was implemented to reinforce the data analysis. Prodislex is a protocol for early detection and action in dyslexia that allows providing strategies to achieve success for this type of student body. The study has shown that some students are unaware of their diagnosis despite suspecting it, that teachers lack specific training to serve this population academically, and that many students, despite not presenting SpLD characteristics, do have reading comprehension difficulties

Prevalence, benefits, and main causes of breastfeeding abandonment
Breastfeeding (BF) is the most appropriate food for the baby, as well as providing benefits for the mother and the bond between the two. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to 6 months of age and its extension as a complementary food up to 2 years of age, however its prevalence is below these recommendations worldwide. Objective: to present updated information on the global prevalence and benefits of BF for the mother-baby pair. Method: Review of the literature in databases and other bibliographic sources. Articles on the benefits of BF and its prevalence worldwide were selected. Results: BF levels worldwide are below WHO recommendations. Non-initiation or abandonment of BF depends on emotional, cultural, occupational and economic factors, among others. BF generates benefits in the physical and emotional health of the mother-baby binomial, particularly for the development of the baby’s intestinal microbiota, avoiding gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, asthma, and overweight; and in the mother by preventing breast and ovarian cancer. Conclusions: Evidence shows that human milk is the most suitable food for infants. The efforts of governments, health teams and society as a whole should be directed towards the promotion of breastfeeding and the protection of the pairing, both in terms of access to parenting resources and psychological factors from early development

Future Temporal Attitude and Satisfaction with Life in Older Adults in Old Age: A Comparative Study in Institutionalized and Non-institutionalized older adults
The present research had as its primary objective the relationship and comparison of the Future Temporal Attitude (FTA) and Life Satisfaction (LS) of institutionalized and non institutionalized elders. Due to its characteristics, we are in front of a descriptive, correlational and comparative research whose sample has been made up of 80 older adults (Female = 48), between 65 and 90 years old (M = 75.7, De = 7.7), of which 40 of them constitute the group of residents within geriatric institutions, while the other 40 subjects reside in private homes in the South Zone of Gran Buenos Aires. For data collection, the Temporal Attitudes Scale of Nuttin (1985) was used, specifically the “Future” subscale, and the Life Satisfaction index of Neugarten et al. (1961). Through it, no statistically significant differences were found. Regarding the correlations, it was possible to realize that in institutionalized elders that, the higher the Vital Dissatisfaction, goes associated with a lower Positive Future Temporal Attitude. This shows the importance of investigating factors that enable an increase in the situational satisfaction of institutionalized older adults

Positive Parenting and Parental Competencies in Primary Caregivers of primary caregivers of children from 0 to 3 years of age
Positive parenting comprises a group of actions that primary caregivers carry out in order to promote the integral development of children. Likewise, this includes the practical capacities approached through the concept of parental competences, within which is found on the one hand the training, referring to the socialization and learning of their children and on the other hand, the competences related to the promote a relationship based on secure attachment, warmth and sensitivity. Third, protective capacities are expressed in actions that seek to guarantee the integral safety of infants and finally, reflective competencies, highlighting the metacognition and monitoring of caregivers on their parental practices. The maintenance of positive parenting practices is considered to be a protective factor against adverse experiences, which is also of great relevance for the bio-psycho-social development of infants. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between Positive Parenting, parental competences (Positive Parenting Scale; EP2) and the time available for caregivers to share spaces and carry out activities with their children between 0 and 3 years old, as well as its association with leisure moments. It has been found a positive association between positive parenting and a group of factors such as rest time, carrying out specific activities with children and leisure time for primary caregivers. This is of great relevance given the influence of parental practices on children’s development, allowing the generation of interventions in the future, which could favour children and primary caregivers’ well-being

Resilience levels and coping strategies in mothers of people with Down syndrome
The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between the levels of resilience and the coping strategies used by mothers of people with Down Syndrome. The sample consisted in 100 mothers, both from Capital Federal and Gran Buenos Aires, and was collected through the Google Form platform. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, a Resilience Scale (Rodríguez et al., 2009) and an inventory that assesses the coping strategies in adult subjects (Ongarato et al., 2009). The results indicated a positive association between the resilience and the coping strategies cognitive approach and behavioral avoidance. On the other hand, no correlation was found between the resilience and the coping strategies behavioral approach and cognitive avoidance. In our sample, mothers of children with Down Syndrome use self-efficiency as their main resilience mechanism. Our results indicate that mother of people with Down syndrome who have higher levels of resilience, use coping strategies cognitive approach and behavioral avoidance

Resilience and Intolerance to Frustration in adolescents from AMBA, Argentina
This research aimed to evaluate the relationship between Intolerance to Frustration and Resilience in 355 subjects residing in Argentina from 14 to 25 years old (M=19.64, SD=3.31). The Frustration Intolerance Scale (IFS), the Resilience Scale (RE) and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used. Medium and low significant inverse correlations were found between the total EIF and total ER, and between the dimensions emotional intolerance and intolerance to discomfort (EIF) with self-efficacy and capacity for purpose and meaning in life (ER). In contrast, discomfort intolerance correlated positively with cognitive avoidance. The women obtained higher scores in the total EIF (z= -2.06; p= .4,r= .11) and in emotional intolerance (z= -3.48; p= .001, r=.18). In the RE, men scored higher than women in cognitive avoidance (z= -3.24; p=.001, r=.17) and in its total (z= -2.47;p= .01, r =.13). Age correlated inversely with discomfort intolerance (r=-.13; p<.05), and rights (r= -.17; p<.01) and directly with self-efficacy capacity (r= -.12; p<.05). In addition, the higher the educational level, the less intolerance to frustration and greater resilience. This study presents evidence showing that having a good resilient capacity is related to having a low intolerance to frustration, since the latter can influence against efficient adaptation to adversity

Mental health in old age: well-being and self-perception of health in older adults inBuenos Aires
The objective of this study was to know the level of well-being, the route of access to well-being, the state of mental health and the self-perception of health that prevailed in older adults in Buenos Aires. Additionally, the relationships between the study variables were examined and the model that best predicted the self-perception of health in old age was investigated. The sample consisted of 634 subjects of both sexes between 65 and 100 years of age (M= 77,29, SD= 7,93), who completed an ad-hoc socio-demographic questionnaire; the Mental Health Continuum- Short Form; the Scale of three routes of access to well-being and evaluated their self-perception of health. The results showed that psychological well-being, the flourishing mental health status, the route of access to well-being compromised life and positive self-perception of health predominated in the participants. Moreover, correlations between all the study variables were presented and it was found that the Mental Health Continuum predicted better, by a minimal difference compared to the Theory of authentic happiness, the variance of the self-perception of health in old age. In conclusion, this was the first international scientific study that analyzed and compared two contemporary models of well-being, which had never been addressed together. Thus, this study allows to make more flexible a new way of rethinking this stage of the life cycle

Associations between tradiccional gender stereotype and eating disorders duringadolescence and youth. A systematic review
Diverse investigations have studied the relation between traditional gender roles present throughout our culture and the development of eating disorders. Eating disorders are a complex and multicausal problem which affects mainly teenagers and young people. This multicausality is explained through the interaction of different psychological, biological and socio-cultural elements. Therefore, it is important to review reports exploring the association between traditional gender stereotypes and eating disorders indicators. For this, we carried out a systematic review addressing the last two decades of research (2001-2021) regarding the contribution of traditional gender role stereotypes in the development of eating disorders. We found 13 studies that met the inclusion- exclusion criteria. Over these findings, 11 of the 13 were found to report the existing relation between traditional gender role stereotypes and eating disorders. Most had positive results regarding the contribution of the traditional female gender stereotype to eating disorders pathology in women or in men. In respect to masculinity, only the 23,07% of the studies found it out as a protector factor of eating disorders while others found that androgyny was prevalent in people without eating disorders. Therefore, we can conclude that it is necessary to carry out more research in the Latin American context, having noticed the growing increase in the eating pathologies
