artículo de publicación periódica.listelement.badge Identification performance during quarantine by COVID-19 pandemic: Influence of emotional variables and sleep quality(2021) Urreta Benítez, Facundo A.; León, Candela S.; Bonilla, Matías; Flores-Kanter, Pablo Ezequiel; Forcato, Cecilia"The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in people’s lives around the globe. Sleep habits and emotional balance have been disturbed in a way that could be comparable to the havoc caused by a deep personal crisis or a traumatic experience. This unfortunate situation provides a unique context in which to study the impact of these imbalances on cognitive processes. In particular, the field of eyewitness science could benefit from these conditions, since they are also often present in crime victims, but can only be generated in the laboratory up to a certain ethical and practical limit. For several decades, eyewitness studies have tried to discover what variables affect people’s ability to properly recognize faces. However, the disparity of experimental designs and the limitations of laboratory work could be contributing to the lack of consensus around several factors, such as sleep, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, the possibility of observing the influence of these agents in natural contexts could shed light on this discussion. Here, we perform simple and repeated lineups with witnesses of mock-crime, considering the conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which to some extent allow emulating the deterioration in general well-being that often afflicts crime victims. For this, 72 participants completed symptomatology scales, and watched a video portraying a staged violent episode. Subsequently, they gave testimony and participated in two lineups, in which we manipulated the presence/absence of the perpetrator, to recreate critical scenarios for the appearance of false recognitions. We found an increase in recognition errors in those individuals who did not have access to the perpetrator during the Initial lineup. Additionally, the conditions of the pandemic appear to have adversely affected the ability to witness and accurately perform lineups. These results reaffirm the need to move toward the standardization of research practices and methods for assessing testimonial evidence, especially in relation to the results of the lineups. Considering the degree of fallibility of these processes can lead to a reduction of wrongful convictions."artículo de publicación periódica.listelement.badge Inventario de Ideación Suicida Positiva y Negativa (PANSI): propiedades psicométricas en universitarios peruanos(2021) Rodas-Vera, Nikolai Martin; Toro, Ronald; Flores-Kanter, Pablo Ezequiel"Es necesario contar con instrumentos que evalúen la ideación suicida, dado que es uno de los primeros factores que conllevan al suicidio. La presente investigación realizó un proceso de adaptación del Inventario de Ideación Suicida Positiva y Negativa (PANSI) para que pueda ser empleado en universitarios peruanos. Se estudiaron dos muestras, una antes y otra durante la pandemia por COVID-19. A nivel metodológico, se siguió un procedimiento racional con jueces expertos y con sujetos de la población para conseguir la equivalencia cultural y conceptual del instrumento; mientras que, en el nivel estadístico, se probaron tres modelos teóricos, unidimensional, ortogonal y oblicuo. El modelo de dos factores correlacionados reveló mejores índices de ajustes para ambas muestras, con niveles óptimos de confiabilidad. Se concluye en una nueva versión del PANSI y se discuten sus bases teóricas para mejorar las inferencias a partir de este instrumento."artículo de publicación periódica.listelement.badge Second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Argentinian population: vaccination is associated with a decrease in depressive symptoms(2022-06) Benedetti, Pedro; Barbuzza, Alejo; Moscato, Franco; Reppucci, Victoria; Goyeneche, Celina; Katche, Cynthia; Medina, Jorge Horacio; Viola, Haydeé; Ballarini, Fabricio; Moncada, Diego"Since the irruption of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) the planet has submerged in a time of concern and uncertainty, with a direct impact on people's mental health. Moreover, the recurrent outbreaks that periodically harry different regions of the world constantly refocus people's concerns to the pandemic. Yet, each new wave heats the diverse countries in different situations, including the advances in their vaccination campaigns. In this research, we studied the levels of the general anxiety disorder (GAD) and depression in the Argentine population across the first and second waves of infections that occurred in our country."
