    (2025-03-06) Rojano García, Pamela Lissette; Altamirano López, Lorena Fernanda; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica
    In the midst of the complex emotional situation of our current society, which represents significant challenges for the state, society in general and the public health system, it has become evident that there is a prevalence between impulsivity and suicidal ideation, especially affecting young people in academic environments. Impulsivity can lead to risky decisions or destructive behaviors, while suicidal ideation reflects a deep emotional distress considering the possibilities of ending one's life. In order to reach an accurate conclusion of this study, a sample of 196 male and female students between 18 and 28 years of age was used. The objectives of this research were to study the relationship between impulsivity and suicidal ideation in university students of a university in the city of Ambato, province of Tungurahua, to evaluate both variables according to gender, through a quantitative, non-experimental cross-sectional study. The instruments used were Barratt's Impulsivity Scale and Beck's Suicidal Ideation Scale. The results showed a very low positive correlation between impulsivity and suicidal ideation, moderate impulsivity is observed to prevail in this population with 79.1%, as well as mild suicidal ideation with 32.7%, and no significant differences were found in terms of gender.

    (2025-03-05) Ortiz Ortiz, María Fernanda; Vásquez de la Bandera Cabezas, Fabricio Alejandro; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica
    Impulsivity is defined as a sudden action without any previous analysis or reasoning, which can trigger problems for the individual; on the other hand, risky eating behaviors are inadequate behaviors related to food such as: restrictive diets, self-induced vomiting, use of laxatives and diuretics, etc. The aim of the present investigation was to determine the relationship between impulsivity and risky eating behaviors in university students aged 18-29 years, with a sample of 164 participants. The study was quantitative, using the Barrat Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11) and the Brief Questionnaire on Risky Eating Behaviors (CBCAR). It also had a non-experimental design of correlational scope, for which, after the application of the normality test, when data with a normal distribution were not obtained, the nonparametric Spearman's Rho test was applied. Finally, the results showed that there is a low positive correlation between the study variables, so that, weakly, the greater the impulsivity, the greater the presence of risky eating behaviors in the participants. In particular, with regard to impulsivity, an average of 51.5 was found with no significant differences according to sex; and, with respect to risky eating behaviors, 63.4% did not present any risk, 20.1% showed moderate risk and 20.1% showed moderate risk and 16.5% a high risk, without showing a significant association with sex, i.e., CAR levels do not depend on being male or female.

    (2025-03-05) Ramos Aristimbay, Jean Pierre; García Ramos, Diana Carolina; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica
    Family functionality refers to the capacity of a family to effectively fulfill its functions, allowing the development of the identity and autonomy of its members, and includes two components: cohesion and adaptability. Interaction in this environment from an early age corresponds to the process of self-concept formation, and the latter represents the perception that a person has of him/herself as a function of his/her environment. The objective of this research focused on determining the relationship between family functionality and self-concept in university students between 18 and 30 years of age, with a sample of 181 participants. The study was quantitative, using the Family Functioning Perception Test (FF-SIL) and the AF5 Self-Concept Scale; and had a non-experimental design, descriptive level and correlational scope. Finally, the results showed that there is a positive correlation between family functioning and most of the self-concept dimensions; particularly, moderately with family self-concept; low with social self-concept; and very low with academic, physical and physical-sports selfconcept. Together, the average self-concept scores showed a medium-high range, according to their minimum and maximum values, with family self-concept standing out with a mean of 7.62. Regarding family functionality, 60.2% belonged to a moderately functional family, 24.9% to a functional one, 14.4% to a dysfunctional one and 0.6% to a severely dysfunctional one; no significant differences were found with respect to the urban and rural sectors.

The sample included 278 students, aged between 18 and 35 years, from the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering of a university in Ambato. The research adopted a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational approach. To measure the variables, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), adapted by Royuela and Fernández in 1997 in Spain, and the Mood Rating Scale (EVEA) were used to evaluate the emotional state of the participants, which was adapted to Spanish by Pereira and Fernández in 2005.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2024-08-01) Villarroel Peña, Víctor Felipe; Sánchez Acosta, Adriana Carolina Lic Mg.
    Emotional intelligence is the capacity of a human being to perceive, understand, control and change his or her emotional state; while aggressiveness is a natural, fundamental and primary defensive behavior of some living beings because it responds to biological instinct and serves as a resource to face all kinds of risk situations. The general objective of this research was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence and aggressiveness in university students. The study was carried out by means of a non-experimental, cross sectional, quantitative design. With a sample of 234 students, 79 males and 155 females, with an age range of 18 to 28 years. For the emotional intelligence variable, the scale for the evaluation of the expression, management and recognition of emotions (TMMS-24) was applied, and the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) of Buss and Perry was used to evaluate aggressiveness. The results showed that there was a slight negative relationship (Rho= -0.167 p<0.05) between the emotional clarity dimension and the aggression variable, therefore, it could be inferred that the lower the aggression, the higher the emotional intelligence management.
