    The present study aimed to evaluate the cross-cultural measurement invariance of the Pandemic Grief Scale (PGS) in ten Latin American countries. A total of 2,321 people who had lost a family member or other loved one due to COVID-19 participated, with a mean age of 34.22 years old (SD = 11.99). In addition to the PGS, a single item of suicidal ideation was applied. The unidimensional model of the PGS had adequate fit in most countries and good reliability estimates. There was evidence of measurement invariance by country and gender. Also, a one-point increase in the PGS was associated with an almost twofold increase in the odds of suicidal ideation. Scores greater than or equal to 4 on the PGS are proposed as a cut off to identify individuals with suicidal ideation. Strong evidence of the cross-cultural validity of the PGS is provided. © The Author(s) 2021.

    Modified and Validated Version of the System of Beliefs Inventory (SBI-15R) in a Sample of Inhabitants from Arequipa City (Peru)
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Arias Gallegos, Walter L.; Estenós Loayza, Alejandro; Rivera, Renzo; Núñez Cohello, Ana Lucía
    "The present study focuses on the psychometric analysis of the Systems of Belief Inventory (SBI-15R) made by Holland et al. (Psycho-Oncology 7:460–469, 1998) after being applied in a sample of 1380 citizens from Arequipa City. The validation procedure involved the modification of the instrument, through the increase of 10 items and the rearrangement of these in three factors. The analysis of content validity with three expert judges led us to the elimination of four items. Then, an exploratory factorial analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis were performed, which determined the presence of two factors, which have high levels of reliability. These factors were support and religious values and beliefs and religious practices with 14 and seven items, respectively. Finally, the scales for the appropriate qualification of the instrument were obtained and its valuation according to three levels: low, medium, and high. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG"

    Parenting styles in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who have disruptive behavior: Study of cases during the pandemic by Covid-19
    (NEUROPSICOLOGIA CLNEUROPSICOLOGIA CL, RANCAGUA, 00000, CHILE, 2021) Delgado Serna, Erica N.; Arias Gallegos, Walter L.
    In this study we analyze the parenting styles of parents of children with autism who present disruptive behaviors, in asociation with several family variables such as family functionality, parental stress and coping in parents of children with disabilities. In order to value objectively the autism, we applied the CHAT and to value the disruptive behavior we applied the Eyberg Behavior Inventory. Moreover, we collected personal and family data of the children assessmented through the clinic chart and the mental examination. The children were nine male and one female diagnosid with autism, and who were refered by the parents with disruptive behavior. The results were processed qualitatively, revealing some trends compatible with scientific literatura about autism. The children present alterations over their sensory development, language development delay and alterations in communications and social interactions. Finaly, the parenting style so called autoritative kind are associated with balance family fucntionality, while the levels of parental stress were low, and were related with a centered problema coping style.
