Additionally, the characteristics of the PIL-SF items were evaluated and to assess the relationship between purpose in life, as measured by the PIL-SF, and fear of COVID-19. A total of 4306 people from seven Latin American countries participated in the study. The results indicated that the PIL-SF is invariant in the seven participating countries and, therefore, there is evidence that the items reflect the purpose of life in the same way in all countries. This allows comparisons of purpose in life between countries that are free of bias, reflecting the true differences in how countries respond to items. From IRT, the discrimination parameters are adequate and indicate that the items cover a wide range of the purpose in life construct. The difficulty parameters are adequate and increase monotonically. This indicates that people would need a higher level of purpose in life to respond to the higher response categories. Thus, the PIL-SF items would be useful in determining people with a relatively high degree of purpose in life. Identifying people with different levels of purpose in life would allow them to be part of intervention programs, either to support those with low levels or to maintain and reinforce their purpose in life. The evidence of crosscountry measurement invariance of the PIL-SF provides a measure to be used in cross-cultural studies about the meaning of life.

The present study aimed to evaluate the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the PIL in the general population of seven Latin American countries (Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay). A total of 4306 people participated, selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling, where Uruguay has the highest mean age (M = 41.8; SD = 16.6 years); while Ecuador has the lowest mean age (M = 24.6; SD = 7.8 years). Furthermore, in each country, there is a higher proportion of women (>60%) than men (<40%). Using Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis, the factorial structure does not show evidence of invariance among the included countries. However, based on the Multi-Group Factor Analysis Alignment, there is evidence that a three-dimensional structure of the PIL (Meaning of existence, Freedom t...

Las reflexiones que aquí se presentan corresponden a un análisis realizado a 25 personas en situación de pobreza: hombres y mujeres originarios de diferentes municipios del estado de Guanajuato, con edades y oficios diversos, la mayoría realiza su trabajo en términos informales. El análisis que aquí se presenta corresponde a la pregunta interesada en explorar si alguna vez se han sentido humillados, discriminados o tristes por su situación de precariedad económica. Dentro de los principales resultados se señala que es desde el ámbito del trabajo donde se vive, con mayor agudeza, la discriminación y exclusión por vivir en situación de pobreza, además que es desde ese ámbito donde se generan sentimientos de frustración y tristeza por no obtener recursos suficientes y realizar actividades que no gozan de reconocimiento ni prestigio social. Realizar un oficio que no es reconocido socialmente, el origen étnico, la baja escolaridad, la edad, la forma de vestir, la forma de hablar y el color de la piel, son motivos que también las personas aquí entrevistadas señalan como motivos de discriminación y exclusión. Añaden a éstos poca remuneración económica, pocas oportunidades de trabajo, asimetría en las relaciones de trabajo, acoso y hostigamiento. Una de las estrategias para construir una identidad valiosa y aspirar a un mejor trabajo que permita obtener mejores ingresos y reconocimiento social, consideran que es la formación académica, en cuyo acceso también han tenido múltiples dificultades.

The participants were 2944 people, selected through non-probability sampling for convenience, where the majority were women. Data collection occurred between 12 June and 14 September 2020. The results indicated that the model with two related factors presents a better fit to the data and has partial scalar invariance among the 7 countries. Differences in emotional and physiological reactions were observed between the countries.

Language is a door that allows us to have access to a distinct reality that provides us with the opportunity to expand our horizons. Also, it gives us the opportunity to grow as human beings, which is one of the many reasons why second language (L2) learning should be interesting and exciting. Moreover, it should be characterized by our own personal development. In this paper, the importance and value of language is emphasized as well as the benefits of second language (L2) learning, for example, the learning of Italian in Mexico. Being bilingual is to be enriched by two languages and cultures. Therefore, it is underlined in this article that L2 learning does not mean abandoning our first language and culture. In other words, quality and real bilingualism must be about honouring and respecting our own language and culture while enriching ourselves through the learning of another language and cosmovision. This can be achieved through culturally relevant teaching where students' cultural and linguistic backgrounds are considered in their L2 learning process. By doing so, cultural and linguistic diversity as well as sensitivity would be promoted. Let's not forget that languages are a great tool to bring the community together as languages are friends, not enemies!

Algunas propuestas giran en torno a la transdisciplina y al reconocimiento del contexto histórico, social, político, religioso y cultural de la población con la que se realiza intervención e investigación. Se subraya que la intervención psicológica en nuestras comunidades originarias, debe considerar sus múltiples historias de lucha y de resistencia, pues, nos demuestran que la salud mental, la salud corporal y el orden social y natural pueden configurarse y nombrarse de forma diferente. Tal es el caso del lekil kuxlejal al que hacen referencias pueblos origi...

A model was tested that evaluated the contribution of socio-demographic factors and fear of COVID-19 on anxiety and depression in samples of residents in seven Latin American countries (Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, and El Salvador). A total of 4,881 individuals, selected by convenience sampling, participated in the study. Moderate and severe levels of depressive symptoms and anxiety were identified, as well as a moderate average level of fear of COVID-19. In addition, it was observed that about a quarter of the participants presented symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and a major depressive episode. Fear of COVID-19 significantly and positively predicted anxiety and depressive symptoms, whereas the effects of socio-demographic variables are generally low [χ2(287) = 5936.96, p < 0.001; RMSEA = 0.064 [0.062, 0.065]; CFI = 0.947; and SRMR = 0.050]. This suggests the need for the implementatio...

Centra especial atención en el municipio de Tula, pueblo mágico considerado como la cuna de la cuera tamaulipeca. Se presenta y analiza el caso de una familia de artesanos considerados pioneros en la realización de este traje y cuyos conocimientos y habilidades se han transmitido a varias generaciones. Su producción se ha constituido como una micro empresa familiar. Se acude a una metodología cualitativa de tipo etnográfica cuyas técnicas han sido: observación participante, entrevista semiestructurada, diario de campo, revisión documental y obtención de material audiovisual. El trabajo de campo se realizó durante los meses de marzo, mayo y noviembre de 2018. Dentro de los resultados de este estudio se subrayan dificultades que enfrentan quienes se dedican a la realización de este traje tradic...

La venta constante y regular de artesanías es un problema que afecta a todos los artesanos independiente de su especialidad artesanal. Algunos son más vulnerables que otros dado que presentan mayor resistencia -o di cultad- para adaptar sus pro- ductos a las distintas necesidades de la vida contemporánea. Queremos acercarnos de manera exploratoria a la problemática dado que se trata de un ámbito que merece ser más discutido y pensado en la literatura sobre el tema artesanal.
