    Methods to assess the safety of advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and further highly automated vehicles (HAV) are of paramount importance. There is a wide consensus that virtual testing will be part of them, as physical testing will not be even nearly exhaustive. Virtual testing requires models of the controlled vehicle, but also of the surrounding traffic, which for a long time will consist mainly of human-driven vehicles. Many driver and traffic models exist, but they are usually tailored for a specific situation or requirement. As the reaction of human drivers is affected by many different factors, like the traffic conditions, the time or the country, there is a need for a flexible structure which can be easily tuned to different situations. If we split the driver reaction in a decision and an actuation step, we argue that the actuation step can be represented by few stochastic actuation models which do not depend strongly on external factors. This paper shows such models and their performance with highway data both from China and Germany.

    Parental burnout (PB) is a pervasive phenomenon. Parenting is embedded in cultural values, and previous research has shown the role of individualism in PB. In this paper, we reanalyze previously collected data to identify profiles based on the four dimensions of PB, and explore whether these profiles vary across countries’ levels of collectivistic-individualistic (COL-IND) values. Our sample comprised 16,885 individuals from 36 countries (73% women; 27% men), and we used a latent profile approach to uncover PB profiles. The findings showed five profiles: Fulfilled, Not in PB, Low risk of PB, High risk of PB and Burned out. The profiles pointed to climbing levels of PB in the total sample and in each of the three country groups (High COL/Low IND, Medium COL-IND, Low COL/High IND). Exploratory analyses revealed that distinct dimensions of PB had the most prominent roles in the climbing pattern, depending on the countries’ levels of COL/IND. In particular, we found contrast to be a hallmark dimension and an indicator of severe burnout for individualistic countries. Contrary to our predictions, emotional distance and saturation did not allow a clear differentiation across collectivistic countries. Our findings support several research avenues regarding PB measurement and intervention.

    Socialización y radicalización política en militantes del Partido Comunista del Perú–Sendero Luminoso (PCP-SL)
    (Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico, 2018) ;
    Herrero, Juan
    ;
    Este artículo analiza el proceso de socialización y radicalización política en militantes del Partido Comunista del Perú-Sendero Luminoso, quienes participaron del conflicto armado interno en Perú en los años de 1980 a 2000. Así, mediante un diseño fenomenológico, se les realiza 16 entrevistas en profundidad, a las cuales se les efectúa un análisis de contenido con el soporte del software especializado Atlas.ti 7.5. Los resultados permiten identificar niveles de socialización macro, meso e individuales. Del mismo modo, se detectaron factores causales y circunstancias catalizadoras que influyen y desencadenan la radicalización. Se concluye que no existen causales directos, sino una escalada extremista que cruza por distintos niveles de socialización, con énfasis en los niveles meso e individual, y que expuesta a circunstancias catalizadoras sea por vía racional o emotiva conduce a la radicalización política.

    Recent research has shown that cultural, linguistic, and sociodemographic peculiarities influence the measurement of trait emotional intelligence (trait EI). Assessing trait EI in different populations fosters cross-cultural research and expands the construct’s nomological network. In mental health, the trait EI of clinical populations has been scarcely researched. Accordingly, the present study examined the relationship between trait EI and key sociodemographic variables on Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF) datasets with mental healthcare patients from three different Spanish-speaking countries. Collectively, these datasets comprised 528 participants, 23% from Chile (120), 28% from Peru (150), and 49% from Spain (258). The sociodemographic variables we used for trait EI comparisons were gender, age, educational level, civil status, and occupational status. Analyses involved Multigroup Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling (to test measurement invariance) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Our results revealed significant between-country differences in trait EI across the studied sociodemographic variables and interactions between these variables. Measurement invariance across the datasets was attained up to the scalar level regarding gender and education (i.e., strong invariance), although analyses on age, civil status, and occupation displayed non-invariance. The resultant psychometric evidence supports the suitability of the TEIQue-SF for the accurate cross-cultural assessment of trait EI in mental health settings. It also highlights the importance of incorporating trait EI into extant psychotherapeutic frameworks to enhance non-pharmacological treatment efficacy.
